Any simple way to get SSID name (wi-fi connection name) from HTML page for Androids and IOS

I need to get SSID name in single html page. I need to use for logging, if person is present on some location connected on certain WI-FI network.

So I need a very simple way to get current SSID name of connection. I have some tries with window.navigator.connection The next sample I use to find out if connection is WI-FI or cellular and it works:

var connection = window.navigator.connection ||
  window.navigator.mozConnection ||
  null;
if (connection === null) {
  document.getElementById('ni-unsupported').classList.remove('hidden');
} else if ('metered' in connection) {
  document.getElementById('nio-supported').classList.remove('hidden');
  [].slice.call(document.getElementsByClassName('old-api')).forEach(function(element) {
    element.classList.remove('hidden');
  });

  var bandwidthValue = document.getElementById('b-value');
  var meteredValue = document.getElementById('m-value');

  connection.addEventListener('change', function(event) {
    bandwidthValue.innerHTML = connection.bandwidth;
    meteredValue.innerHTML = (connection.metered ? '' : 'not ') + 'metered';
  });
  connection.dispatchEvent(new Event('change'));
} else {
  var typeValue = document.getElementById('t-value');
  [].slice.call(document.getElementsByClassName('new-api')).forEach(function(element) {
    element.classList.remove('hidden');
  });

  connection.addEventListener('typechange', function(event) {
    typeValue.innerHTML = connection.type;
  });
  connection.dispatchEvent(new Event('typechange'));
}

So I wonder can I use window.navigator.connection to get SSID name or any other simple way

Solution for my issue could be retrieving an IP address by SSID name, if user is connected to the wi-fi network. Because I need to check his presence on some certain place, So I would know the name of the WI-FI Network (SSID). So, if result is some IP address it would mean that the person is present on that place. But I will need private(local) WI-FI IP address not public one So if might have some way to do that, it will be well enough. I found something on https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/networking/nifs/retrieving.html

The NetworkInterface class and get interface by name getByName():

import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import static java.lang.System.out;

public class ListNIFs 
{
    public static void main(String args[]) throws SocketException {
        Enumeration<NetworkInterface> nets = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces();
        
        for (NetworkInterface netIf : Collections.list(nets)) {
            out.printf("Display name: %s\n", netIf.getDisplayName());
            out.printf("Name: %s\n", netIf.getName());
            displaySubInterfaces(netIf);
            out.printf("\n");
        }
    }

    static void displaySubInterfaces(NetworkInterface netIf) throws SocketException {
        Enumeration<NetworkInterface> subIfs = netIf.getSubInterfaces();
        
        for (NetworkInterface subIf : Collections.list(subIfs)) {
            out.printf("\tSub Interface Display name: %s\n", subIf.getDisplayName());
            out.printf("\tSub Interface Name: %s\n", subIf.getName());
        }
     }
}```

So I wonder can I use this in single HTML page and how to do it if it is possible.
Or any other suggestion
