IP of Server using Tor and pycurl

I am working on a project using tor and python, for which I have to get the server ip of the given url using pycurl.

Currently I am using the following code for simple query and response.

def query(url):
  """
  Uses pycurl to fetch a site using the proxy on the SOCKS_PORT.
  """
  output = StringIO.StringIO()

  curl = pycurl.Curl()
  curl.setopt( pycurl.URL, url )
  curl.setopt( pycurl.PROXY, '188.120.228.106' )
  curl.setopt( pycurl.PROXYPORT, 1080 )
  curl.setopt( pycurl.PROXYTYPE, pycurl.PROXYTYPE_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME )
  curl.setopt(pycurl.CONNECTTIMEOUT, CONNECTION_TIMEOUT)

  try:
    curl.perform()
    return output.getvalue()
  except pycurl.error as exc:
    raise ValueError("Unable to reach %s (%s)" % (url, exc))

Any suggestion on how to change the code so that I can also get the server IP of the given url.

Solution

  • Seems like the correct flag you're looking for is CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP.

    Try using curl.getinfo(pycurl.PRIMARY_IP) on your pycurl.Curl() object.
