According to this, a more complete way would be:

private string GetClientIp(HttpRequestMessage request)
{
    if (request.Properties.ContainsKey("MS_HttpContext"))
    {
        return ((HttpContext)request.Properties["MS_HttpContext"]).Request.UserHostAddress;
    }
    else if (request.Properties.ContainsKey(RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name))
    {
        RemoteEndpointMessageProperty prop;
        prop = (RemoteEndpointMessageProperty)this.Request.Properties[RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name];
        return prop.Address;
    }
    else
    {
        return null;
    }
}

In the past, on MVC 3 projects (not API,) we used to use the following:

string IPAddress = Request.ServerVariables["HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR"];

if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(IPAddress))
    IPAddress = Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
