There is such a site: wtfismyip.com, where you can conveniently get the address in a text file or json. I don’t know much about Linux (RouterOS is Linux after all) and I can’t figure out how to parse the IP address that this site gives out.
I found an example of saving the address to a file. But I would not like to write something to the Mikrotik disk. I would like to immediately get a ready-made ip.
Moreover, I would like to have two options: from text and from json.

This output contains blanks, you can find script to strip it or you can use ipify.org which doesn't contains blanks in output text:
or you can get from JSON from wtfismyip.com without blanks but you need parser script like: https://github.com/Winand/mikrotik-json-parser.

Thank you, I was just planning to start working on scripts again closer to the New Year, and in particular parsing json. Now I will know what to focus on.

Code: Select all

:local ip ([/tool fetch url="https://api.ipify.org" output=user as-value]->"data")

Special thanks for this site and code. Before this, I could not find a site where the address is obtained separately (in a file, in json, or something else)
