**piper** make a get request and you'll get your IP address. with a but more to facilitate easy use in a dynamic dns kinda situation. *name origin* "it's a thing that tells you your IP" -> "gets your IP?" -> "IPer" -> "piper!" send an `Authorization` header with your request to track changes in your IP address. The value you provide can only contain Base-64 characters, but does not have to be valid Base-64. If a request is received with an `Authorization` header, piper will compare the IP the request came from with the last IP to use that `Authorization` value. There are three possible situations and two responses: A `200` status code will be returned, with an IP in the body, if: - A request has never been made with the provided auth value - The last request to use the auth value came from a different IP address A `302` status code will be returned, with no body, if: - The last request to use the auth value comes from the same IP address There are multiple `Content-Type`s supported. Below is a list of types and example responses. If you do not provide a `Content-Type`, plaintext is assumed. **`application/json`** ```json {"ip": "127.0.0.1"} ``` **`text/plain`** ``` 127.0.0.1 ``` **`application/xml`** ```xml 1.1.1.1 ```
