Finding IP address of a URL in Java

Prerequisite: InetAddress

getByName() : Returns the InetAddress of the given host. If the host is a literal IP address, then only its validity is checked. Fetches public IP Address of the host specified. It takes the host as an argument and returns the corresponding IP address.

Examples:



Input : www.google.com
Output : 216.58.199.164

Input : localhost
Output : 127.0.0.1

Below programs illustrate how to fetch public IP address:

Note: These programs wont run on online compilers. Use offline compilers like Netbeans, Eclipse, etc, instead.

            // It means the URL is invalid
            System.out.println("Invalid URL");
