django and python - get user IP

#1 · 01-11-2018 01:42PM #1

Hi

Im using django and I have it running fine. Im trying to get a users IP address so in my views I have this

[COLOR=#000080][B]from [/B][/COLOR]django.shortcuts [COLOR=#000080][B]import [/B][/COLOR]render
[COLOR=#000080][B]from [/B][/COLOR]django.http [COLOR=#000080][B]import [/B][/COLOR]HttpResponse

[COLOR=#000080][B]def [/B][/COLOR]get_client_ip(request):
    x_forwarded_for = request.META.get([COLOR=#008080][B]'HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'[/B][/COLOR])
    [COLOR=#000080][B]if [/B][/COLOR]x_forwarded_for:
        ip = x_forwarded_for.split([COLOR=#008080][B]','[/B][/COLOR])[-[COLOR=#0000ff]1[/COLOR]].strip()
    [COLOR=#000080][B]else[/B][/COLOR]:
        ip = request.META.get([COLOR=#008080][B]'REMOTE_ADDR'[/B][/COLOR])
    [COLOR=#000080][B]return [/B][/COLOR]ip

I get the error

Exception Value: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

iver been googling it like mad and I can't make head nor tail or what I find. Does anyone have any links to a tutorial running through how to do this?

import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
s.connect(("8.8.8.8", 80))
print(s.getsockname()[0])
s.close()

that seems to do the trick. I must post in here more often as the minute I do, I seem to find the fecking answer!

I simply use

x = request.META['REMOTE_ADDR']

and it works (python 3.6)

What are you passing to get_client_ip? If it's just a standard request object, you wouldn't be getting that error
