I've found a way to get it, but I must rely on a TGC website

Ideally what you want to do is query the router for its WAN address, but I'm not sure if there's a universal way to do this (and google doesn't bring up any particularly interesting results).

Alternately you can query an external site such as whatsmyip.net, and read the address from the HTML.

http://ipinfo.io/json
Will return a json object that you can parse for the data.
Do this:
http://ipinfo.io/8.8.8.8/json
And you'll get the info for IP 8.8.8.8
Replace that with whatever IP you need if you want to use that.
They do have a limit of 1,000 per day without a subscription.

ipecho.net/plain will just return the external IP address for the client/user
It doesn't appear to have limits so I'd go with that if all you need is the external IP.
If you need the internal IP for the user I don't think there is a way to do this simply. You'll need to point the user to a website with instructions for Windows on how to do it. The typical way is to look at the results of the command ipconfig
There may be a way to set up a command line to do that or there may even be an exe utility to write that info to a file which you can obtain in your AppGameKit program, but to do that you'll need some sort of launcher for your game. A bat file might work.

If you're developing on Windows you can use the gethostname WinAPI function to get the computer's internal IP.

On Windows you can get a list of them. There can be several.
