Simple custom API for my IP address

[Meneghino]

Hi all.

Inspired by this post by @johnsoep I tried to use ipify to get my IP.

Below is the super simple Swagger file I created, it doesn't give a response but also no errors.

I think it just needs a little tweak to work.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks.

{
  "swagger": "2.0",
  "info": {
    "version": "v1",
    "title": "WhatIsMyIP"
  },
  "host": "www.ipify.org",
   "schemes": [
    "https"                      
  ],
  "paths": {
    "/": {
      "get": {
        "description": "Calls ipify over https",
        "operationId": "GetMyIP",
        "responses": {
          "200": {
            "description": "Successful response",
            "schema": {
              "title": "The response of the api.",
              "type": "string"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Thank you for your help. I looked at the code and was able to get a response by editing the following items (Set in bold):

{
  "swagger": "2.0",
  "info": {
    "version": "v1",
    "title": "WhatIsMyIP"
  },
  "host": "api.ipify.org",
   "schemes": [
    "https"                      
  ],
  "paths": {
    "/": {
      "get": {
        "description": "Calls ipify over https",
        "operationId": "GetMyIP",
        "responses": {
          "200": {
            "description": "Successful response",
            "schema": {
              "title": "IPAddress",
              "type": "string"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

 Now I just need to add the API and see if I can get the response in my app!

[johnsoep]

Just an update, I get the response I want in the Swagger Editor, but when I try to call the API in my app, I get a 500 - Internal Server Error.

Still poking at this, I think it's on the right path.

Thanks for taking this up, please keep me posted. I am no API specialist but always interested in new things.

Hi @johnsoep, did you ever get this to work?
Thanks.

[johnsoep]

Hey @Meneghino, I haven't had the time to retackle this. I got the API working in the developer, but as soon as I connect it to a flow it breaks the flow. I think there is additional items being returned that the flow is not expecting, but I haven't had time to dive deeper into this. I'm hoping after finishing our campus opening for the semester to take a deeper look into this.

Hi @johnsoep,

Hope you have had further success with this!  Can I please ask what additional configuration is required (in addition to adding a connection to the API)?  Did you add a specific control to your app (if so what properties of that control needed configuring)?  Thanks for sharing your insight 🙂
