# IpAddress

{% hint style="info" %}
The **`IpAddress()`**function gets the IP address of the client. 

This function can be used to route users from a certain network to a specific page or a custom login process. It can also be used to track the (public) IP-addresses of your users. Please note that some countries have legislation about using and storing IP-addresses (GDPR).

WIKI: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address>

This function is SQL compatible. For more information about SQL compatibility, see our [documentation](/platform/wemreference/sql-compatibility.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wem.io/platform/wemreference/functions/environment/ipaddress.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
