alfred-ip-address-workflow's Introduction

alfred-ip-address-workflow

An Alfred 5 workflow for getting your local and external IP addresses.

Installation

Download the workflow
Double click the .alfredworkflow file to install
(Optional) Specify which external IP service you would like to use (see below for more details)

Note that the Alfred Powerpack is required to use workflows.

External IP services

In order to get your external IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, the workflow must query an external IP service. By default, the workflow uses icanhazip.com, but any service that returns your external IP in plaintext will work. The following is a non-exhaustive list of free services that you can use. Some of these may be blocked by your firewall or ISP.

To configure the service used:

Open Alfred preferences
Click Workflows on the left
Select the IP Address workflow
Click the Configure Workflow button in the header of the workflow builder
Enter the HTTP/HTTPS address of the service
Click Save

Usage

Use the keyword ip to trigger the workflow
Select IP you would like to copy or paste (local IPv4, external IPv4, local IPv6, external IPv6)
Press enter to copy to clipboard and paste into the forefront application or just ⌘ + c to copy to clipboard

alfred-ip-address-workflow's Issues

Returns incorrect external IP

For as long as I can recall (a year or more), the workflow doesn’t return my correct external IP.

It comes back with the following:

I am located in New Zealand. That IP address is from a broadband connection on the COX network, in the USA.
https://www.ip-tracker.org/lookup.php?ip=184.189.4.152

Any suggestions as to why it doesn’t come back with my correct external IP?

Suggestion: show also IP location

It would also be great to display the IP location, maybe in the line below the IP. Some services offer the location back. Here is one example: http://ip-api.com/json

Doesn't work anymore (could be because of Big Sur?)

Error on multiple ip's

If the computer has multiple IP's (in my case because of virtual machines running on my computer) the workflow just fails. I've fixed it in a quite hacky way for now by replacing the local ipv4 line with

ifconfig | grep 'inet ' | grep -Fv 127.0.0.1 | head -n 1 | awk '{print $2}'

When I get time i'll get on doing a nicer fix and creating a pull request if no one bets me to it :)

JSON error if multiple local addresses

I have multiple local addresses, the debug console gives me this:

[2018-08-20 13:20:24][ERROR: input.scriptfilter] JSON error: Unescaped control character around character 54. in JSON:

Probably need to replace \r\n with , ?

Local IPv4 (en0): 192.168.0.1
