When you setup your Account Linking in developers portal, you have to specify scopes. These scopes represents the list of permissions to request from the skill user. You can provide up to 15 scopes.

Ex: If you are linking Facebook account and if you need to get profile info, then you have to specify the scope: public_profile.

So once a skill user links his/her account, you will get an accessToken in every subsequent request from your skill. You can then validate/use this token to fetch data from their APIs (Resource server). Say, you can get public-profile information from Facebook with the above scope and not anything else. In your case, specify the scope that lets you access profile information from your Resource server.

You won't get IP address, however you can login to your router and check the local IP of the device. If you want to do anything device specific use deviceId in the request JSON.
