where-is-my-ip — exit-IP geolocator + byo-proxy demo

Tiny utility: queries ifconfig.co/json and prints what the world sees as your outbound IP — country, city, ASN, latency. Doubles as the canonical example of how to consume `byo-proxy` from another skill (both opt-in patterns).

Three modes

SKILL=/data/workspace/skills/where-is-my-ip

# 1. Direct — no proxy, just check the raw exit
python3 $SKILL/scripts/check.py

# 2. Pattern A (explicit): route this single check through a specific provider/country
python3 $SKILL/scripts/check.py --via iproyal:jp
python3 $SKILL/scripts/check.py --via iproyal:de --sticky 30

# 3. Pattern B (bound): use whatever the user has configured for THIS skill
python3 $SKILL/scripts/check.py --use-binding

# Bonus: side-by-side — show direct exit vs proxied exit in one shot
python3 $SKILL/scripts/check.py --compare iproyal:jp

When --use-binding is passed and where-is-my-ip isn't bound yet, byo-proxy's ProxyNotConfiguredError fires with a multi-line onboarding guide that already tells the user exactly what to run. The script just prints it and exits non-zero.

Why this skill exists

Two reasons:

1. Sanity-check residential proxies. Before kicking off a long scrape, run --via iproyal:jp to confirm the exit really is in Japan. IPRoyal occasionally rotates to a nearby country if the requested pool is depleted; this surfaces that immediately instead of failing 200 requests in. 2. Reference implementation for byo-proxy. scripts/check.py is short (~120 lines) and demonstrates both consumption patterns. New skills that need geo-routing should copy its proxy-acquisition block.

Output (single check)

📍 exit  198.51.100.42
   country  JP (Japan)
   city     Tokyo, Tokyo
   asn      AS17676  SoftBank Corp.
   latency  234 ms
   via      iproyal/jp (sticky 30m)

Output (--compare)

                  exit_ip          country     city          asn
direct            203.0.113.5      CN          Beijing       AS4134 China Telecom
iproyal/jp        198.51.100.42    JP          Tokyo         AS17676 SoftBank Corp.   ✅ matches request

Integration with byo-proxy

scripts/check.py does this and nothing else to acquire a proxy:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "/data/workspace/skills/byo-proxy")
from exports import get_proxy_url, get_proxy_for_skill, ProxyNotConfiguredError

If you're writing a new skill that needs residential routing, the same two imports are enough. byo-proxy never auto-attaches — it only acts when you call one of those functions, and it raises (with onboarding guidance) instead of silently falling back to direct connection.
