AI App Starter Prompt
Use this prompt to build a project with WhatIsMyIP
Create a user-friendly command-line tool that allows users to check their public IP address and gather additional network information using the 'WhatIsMyIP' Python package. This tool should provide a simple interface for querying the user's current public IP address and also include some optional advanced features for tech-savvy users. Step 1: Set up a virtual environment and install the 'WhatIsMyIP' package along with any other necessary dependencies. Step 2: Design a main function that initializes the tool and provides a menu for the user to choose from different options such as checking IP, fetching location details, or exiting the program. Step 3: Implement a feature that fetches and displays the user's public IP address using the 'WhatIsMyIP' package. Ensure this process is fast and reliable. Step 4: Add an option to fetch more detailed information about the IP address such as the geographical location, ISP details, and any other available metadata. Use APIs provided by the 'WhatIsMyIP' package or integrate with external services. Step 5: Include an option for users to save their IP address and location data into a local file for record-keeping purposes. Step 6: Provide a help menu within the tool that explains all available commands and how to use them effectively. Suggested Features: - Display the fetched IP address in a clean, readable format. - Allow users to specify which external service to use for fetching IP information. - Implement error handling to manage cases where the IP cannot be retrieved due to network issues. - Offer an option to refresh the IP address periodically in real-time. - Create a log file to track all IP address queries made through the tool.
