If you are trying to get your routers public (external) IP address then this code should work:

import requests

try:
    public_ip = requests.get('https://api.ipify.org').text
    print(f"Public IP Address: {public_ip}")
except requests.RequestException as e:
    print(f"Error retrieving public IP address: {e}")
