I am using https://ident.me/ for getting IP of anybody who visits my website. (https://notablee.co/get_ip)
But i am only getting the Shared Hosting IP (50.87.141.159) instead of the Visitors IP Address.
$ip = file_get_contents('https://ident.me/');

It would help immensely if we could see the code that you are using to do this... – Professor Abronsius May 04 '22 at 10:39

You might have better luck simply using `$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];` - the `ident.me` is located on your server so is reporting it's ip address – Professor Abronsius May 04 '22 at 10:47

$ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
Fixed this. Thanks to 'Professor Abronsius' for a quick fix.

While your answer is not entirely wrong, you should consider that your code sits behind a loadbalancer or proxy. In this case, the $_SERVER array should contain the field X_HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR which contains a list of all previous IP addresses as a comma-separated string.
Also read this SO article How to use HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR properly?
