IPify
IPify does exactly one thing: return the caller's public IP address, as plain text by default or JSON with ?format=json, with an IPv6-capable variant at api64.ipify.org. It's completely keyless and free with no published rate limit, which is why it's one of the most widely embedded "what's my IP" calls in scripts and apps; a live check confirmed an open Access-Control-Allow-Origin header (the plain root path just doesn't answer HEAD requests, a Cloudflare-edge quirk - GET works reliably).
