ddclient can parse html to read your external IP address from your
router's status page. I don't know if there's a clean way to use that
functionality independently of ddclient itself.

I can see that you're running behind a router or something similar. If
you want to use a shell script to return the IP to the stdout, you
could probably use 'curl'.
1- If you don't have curl, you would have to install it:
[sudo] apt-get install curl
2- Get one of these sites that return your external IP (You know no
site like this? just google "what is my IP", without quotes) and create
a shell command. See my example:
$ curl http://www.ip-adress.com/ | grep "My IP: "
Test it and then you put it in a shell script and you're done. :)
Cheers,
Rafael
