How to get client domain name or client IP Address which is trying to call web api in web api

Question

I'm doing one project in Web API, So I want to get the client domain name or client IP Address which is trying to call my Web API. Is there any way to get the same. I'm waiting for your valuable response.

Answer 1

HttpContext.Request.Headers.Origin

The above will get you the domain name. For IP address, this post should give you the details.

Domain name is included with each request lands on your server.

If you open network tab in devtools of your browser (chrome for example) check request headers, and you will find the key-value origin scheme://sub.domain.extension as in https://mail.google.com. In Asp.Net Core you can find it in HttpContext.Request.Headers.Origin as an object property.

HttpContext.Request.Headers it self is a key-value-pair dictionary, as such, you can access the origin header, or any other header for that matter, using HttpContext.Request.Headers["origin"].

Answer 2

You can get the IPv6 address in the current context with this:

string IPv6 = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
