Using request to return a json value

Question

I'm trying to use request to make a request to this api https://api.ipify.org/?format=json and receive back some json like this {"ip":"XX.XX.XXX.XX"} from there I want to parse it and let my function's callback console.log the ip.

I'm just learning about callbacks and async so please give me any advice you can :)

const url = 'https://api.ipify.org/?format=json';
const getMyIP = function (callback) {
 request(url, (error, body, _response) => {
 body = JSON.parse(body);
 const ip = body["ip"];
 return ip;
 });
};
getMyIP((error, ip) => {
 if (!error) {
 console.log(ip);
 }
});

• Ramesh Reddy: instead of retuning ip, just call your callback.

Answer 1

fetch("https://api.ipify.org/?format=json")
.then(res => res.json())
.then(val => {console.log(val.ip);})
.catch(e => console.log(`Error - ${e}`))
