Sending shortcode through API

Support
#1

I am using this code to find the IP address of the user. I then want to send this to a service using API to find the country they’re visiting from.
Based on this information, I want to display different sections using Conditional Logic.

My first step is to get a valid response to my API.
If i hard-code the IP address into the API endpoint, I get a valid result

However, if I substitute the IP address with the shortcode [display_IP], I get an invalid result even though the request URL seems to be the same as before.

I tried this with different API providers, with the same result.

Is there a better way to accomplish what I’m trying to achieve? Is there a reason the IP address using the shortcode is returning an error, even though the IP address returned is the same?

Hi @thomasgeorge,

Unfortunately, the questions related to the custom code are beyond the scope of Theme Support. I would suggest you avail of our newly launched service called One, where we answer questions beyond normal theme support.

Thanks
