Find IP Address using Python

An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.

Using python, we can find the IP address and Hostname. For this, we use the Socket module of python. Socket is in-built in python and can be imported without any installation.

Usage

Get IP and Hostname of a computer

import socket

HOST = socket.gethostname()
IP = socket.gethostbyname(HOST)

print(HOST)
print(IP)

Get IP of a website

import socket

print (socket.gethostbyname("www.google.com"))
