Discussion

The api_getPublicIPAddress() function checks and returns the public-facing IP address of the computer where the code is executed.

Example

dim ip as c
ip = api_getPublicIPAddress()

? ip
= "203.0.113.1"

This function relies on external services to determine the public IP. It may fail if the machine is behind a firewall or proxy with no outbound access to the internet. Use with caution in environments where privacy or security is a concern.
