Looks up every public IP address your automation server might use, so you can whitelist it with other services.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per 10 lookup attempts.

The problem it solves

Some of the services you connect to require whitelisting specific IP addresses before they will accept requests. Finding out which public IP addresses your system actually uses can mean digging through server settings you don't have easy access to.

Who it fits

Operations or IT staff who need to whitelist their automation server's IP addresses with a vendor or partner.

How it works

  1. You send a request to a dedicated endpoint
  2. The system checks an external IP lookup service ten times in a row
  3. It collects all the different IP addresses that come back
  4. Duplicate addresses are removed, leaving a clean list
What you get

IP addresses ready to whitelist instantly

Pull a clean list of every public IP address your automation server uses, ready to hand to a vendor.

What you get

A short list of the public IP addresses your automation system is currently using.

What you need

A hosted automation server and an API key for authenticating the request.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
