How to get IP Address of Website using Python?

Python has many inbuilt libraries available for us to make our work more easier. One of the module in Python is socket which is a way of connecting two nodes on a network to communicate with each other.

Sockets and the socket API are used to send messages across a network. They provide a form of Inter Process Communication.

We use the socket function available in socket module to create a socket object. A socket object is then used to call other functions to setup a socket server. Now call bind(hostname, port) function to specify a port for your service on the given host.

Now lets start our program to get IP Address of any Website in just 3 Steps…..

Step 1 : Import Socket module

import socket

Step 2 : Declare a variable with the domain of the Website for which we want IP Address.

host = "www.linkedin.com"

Step 3 : Now print the IP Address of the Website required by considering {socket.gethostbyname(host)} as parameter to print statement.

print(f'IP of {host} is {socket.gethostbyname(host)}')

Now We can get IP of any Website by just changing the domain address of the Website as shown below….

Output :

IP of www.facebook.com is 69.171.250.35
IP of www.instagram.com is 69.171.250.174
IP of www.medium.com is 104.16.120.145
IP of www.twitter.com is 104.244.42.193

Happy Coding 😁😁
