there is a workaround to collect and store IP addresses using a custom variable (eVar) or prop, but it requires some implementation steps:
First, you'll need to implement a custom JavaScript code on your website to capture the visitor's IP address. Here's an example using an external API to retrieve the IP address:
fetch('https://api.ipify.org?format=json')
.then(response => response.json())
.then(data => {
// Store the IP address in a global variable, so it's accessible when the Adobe Analytics request is sent
window.visitorIpAddress = data.ip;
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Error fetching IP address:', error);
});
Next, you'll need to create a new eVar or prop in the Adobe Analytics admin interface and name it "Visitor IP Address" (or something similar).
Once you've created the eVar or prop, update your Adobe Analytics implementation to set the eVar or prop's value to the visitor's IP address captured in step 1:
s.eVarX = window.visitorIpAddress; // Replace 'X' with the number of the eVar you created in step 2
// or
s.propY = window.visitorIpAddress; // Replace 'Y' with the number of the prop you created in step 2
With the IP address being tracked in Adobe Analytics, you should now be able to create a Data Warehouse request that includes the "Visitor IP Address" eVar or prop to obtain the desired data.
