What IP should I specify for third-party API ?

Hi!

I use third-party web-API (wsdl) in my app. The API grants access only from specified ip-addresses. What IP should I point? I try to specify 50.19.109.98 but it fails (suds raises WebFault "Server raised fault: 'Wrong IP address: 23.23.219.95'"). The app works fine on my local machine.

Regards, Viacheslav Mitin

We don't have guaranteed IPs and they will change, so there's not much you can do unless they have a better way of allowing access.

There is no ability to get dedicated ip?

No. We loadbalance in all sorts of ways all the time and we replace all of the machines when we do an update, so IPs change constantly.
