RIPEstat Data API

Overview

The RIPEstat Data API is the public data interface for RIPEstat. It is the only data source for the RIPEstat widgets.

URL

The basic URL for requesting data is: 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/<name>/data.json?param1=value1&param2=value2&...

and to get metadata for a data call, including its methodology: 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/<name>/meta

Where:

  • "name" is one of the data calls listed below.

Note: Data call URLs previously began with /plugin/. This will keep working for the forseable future, but /data/ should now be preferred.

Using data calls

Common Request Parameters

To support JSON-P all RIPEstat Data API calls support a "callback" parameter. This parameter can be set to the name of the Javascript function that will be called, with the output data as its argument.

name part of cache key? acceptable values default value? description
callback no - - JSON-P callback
preferred_version yes version of the data call e.g. 0.1 current stable version If the desired version is not available we try to return a version that is matching the major version (e.g. "0" for "0.3"). Use the meta information of a data call to retrieve all available versions, see "Getting metadata for a data call".

Magic version tags supported:
  • "supported" - returns the currently supported version
  • "upcoming" - returns the version that is either a development version and/or a candidate for the next supported version
  • "deprecated" - this will explicitly return a deprecated version
cache - "ignore" - Bypasses and refreshes the cache when set to "ignore". Note that this should only be used when the results of a data call are stale.
Temporarily disabled!

Rules of Usage

These are the rules for the usage of the data API:

  • No limit on the amount of requests but please register if you plan to regularly do more than 1000 requests/day, see "Regular Usage" for details.
  • The system limits the usage to 8 concurrent (at the same time) requests coming from one IP address.
  • Please help to improve the data quality by reporting incorrect data to stat@ripe.net.

Regular Usage

If you are using the API on a regular basis you can use the "sourceapp" parameter to provide a unique identifier to every data call. This identifier helps us to assist you when you encounter any problems with the system. The identifier can be your project name or your company's.

Please drop us a short mail to stat@ripe.net with the identifier and an email address on which we can reach you. (If you include the purpose of the lookups, gold membership support is awaiting you :-) 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/<datacallname>/data.json?resource=AS3333&sourceapp=<YourId>

For the format please just use alphanumeric values with no whitespace or special characters.

Output Data Structure

The resulting data has a key=>value structure. Each data call has its own output fields, which are detailed in the individual sections. The common fields that are provided by every call are:

key type value
status string Indicates the status of the result of the data call. Possible values are "ok" for a successful query, "error" for unsuccessful query and "maintenance" in case the data call is undergoing maintenance. In case of an error see the messages field for details.
status_code integer Same as the HTTP status code. In case of server errors the HTTP status code will be set appropriately.
data_call_status string Indicates the status of the data call.
Possible values:
  • supported
    This data call is meant to be stable and without bugs. Any bugs reported will be fixed asap.
  • deprecated(usually provided with an expiration date)
    This data call is meant to be deprecated and is about to be removed either by the expiration date or soon.
    PLEASE CHECK ON THIS FLAG REGULARLY IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A RELIABLE SOURCE OF DATA!
  • development
    This data call is currently work in progress and to be considered to change or discontinued without notice. This guarantees that we can incorporate user feedback in the most efficient way - so bug reports are highly welcome!
version string major.minor version of the response layout for this particular data call. New minor versions are backwards compatible, new major versions are not.
cached boolean True/False
message string human readable message if there was an error during processing.
process_time string Time it took to process the request, in millisecons. If for some reason the time could not be determined then its value is "not available".
data

The data itself.

Data Overload Prevention

The data overload prevention is to protect users, especially widgets, from getting more data than they can handle. For this reason some data calls already support a soft-limit check which returns a warning if the output looks to be more than usual.

This prevention mechanism should only kick in if the request stems from a browser (the referrer header set), but in case it happens for a non-browser request, it can easily suppressed by the "soft_limit" parameter set to "ignore". 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/<datacallname>/data.json?resource=AS3333&soft_limit=ignore

Getting metadata for a data call

A meta request returns additional information about a data call. A simple request to 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/<name>/meta

will return the list of currently supported meta calls, like:

  • methodology
    returns the methodology
  • versions
    returns all available versions
  • availability
    returns information on the availability of data. We provide this information to help you to identify which historical queries are possible. Hence this data is only available for data calls supporting time selection parameters.

    The output structure is a list of timelines defined by "starttime" and "endtime" properties.
    If the data call supports different resource types the output structure will change to a list of "available_timeslines" with an "id" property describing the related resource type.

    
                {
                    "availability": [
                        {
                            "available_timelines": [
                                {
                                    "endtime": "2013-12-01T00:00:00",
                                    "starttime": "2008-11-01T00:00:00"
                                }
                            ],
                            "id": "v4"
                        },
                        {
                            "available_timelines": [
                                {
                                    "endtime": "2014-01-07T00:00:00",
                                    "starttime": "2003-10-09T00:00:00"
                                }
                            ],
                            "id": "v6"
                        }
                    ]
                }
    The "description" property is optional and provides information if this timeline describes a data island.

    
                {
                    "availability": {
                        "available_timelines": [
                            {
                                "endtime": "2014-01-08T09:30:00",
                                "starttime": "2012-01-01T00:00:00"
                            },
                            ...
                            {
                                "description": "Mediterranean Cable Cut",
                                "endtime": "2008-02-10T23:59:59",
                                "starttime": "2008-01-23T00:00:00"
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                }

    The availability information can also be retrieved as part of a data call - filtered by the given resource type - by providing the parameter "meta=availability":

    
                https://stat.ripe.net/data/geoloc/data.json?resource=140.78/16&meta=availability

As with a Data API call it's possible to wrap the result into an JSON-P request by appending the "callback" URL parameter, e.g. for methodology 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/<name>/meta/methodology?callback=callOnSuccess

Note on SSL

Although it's still possible to use the RIPEstat Data API on a non-secure connection (ordinary HTTP) we strongly encourage using https. If there's a reason for you why you can't use HTTPS at all, please inform us since we will disable HTTP in the near future.

AS Overview

This data call shows general informations about an ASN like its announcement status and the name of its holder according to the WHOIS service. 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/as-overview/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/as-overview/data.json?resource=AS3333

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource as states the as you want to get the resource info for yes

Output

Data

Key Info
announced "true" if the ASN is originating any prefixes which are visible by at least 3 RIS full-feed peers (see http://ris.ripe.net).
Note that a transit-only ASN would be reported with "false".
We will revise this in a future version and change the field name.
holder Descriptive name for the AS if AS is given, "null" otherwise
resource Outputs the AS that query is based on
type For this data call always "as"
block This contains information about this ASN or the ASN block it belongs to. Keys: desc (a human readable description), name (a human readable name) and the referencing resource/resources
resource holds the resource this query based on
query_starttime/query_endtime The time period the query covers. In version 1.1 the result is based on a snapshot instead of a time period. For compatibility reasons "query_starttime" and "query_endtime" will be kept in version 1.x but will hold the same value.

ASN Neighbours

This data call shows information on the network neighbours for a given ASN. This includes statistical information as well as the list of observed ASN neighbours. 

    https://stat.ripe.net/data/asn-neighbours/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/asn-neighbours/data.json?resource=AS1205&starttime=2011-12-01T12:00:00

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource ASN for this query The data call will return all neighbours found for this ASN YES
starttime ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the query time for the query.
In this version of the data call, the semantics of the query parameters have been changed to the previous 3.0 version in the way that the end time is no longer taken into account. The returned results are for a specific point in time rather than a time period, which makes it more precise.
If not set, the start time will be set to the latest available data point. 		NO

Output

Data

Key Info
neighbour_counts Shows total counts for the neighbours, including the total number of "left", "right" and "unique" neighbours found. Neighbours that have been seen as left neighbours, but only as direct peers of one of our route collectors (RIS collectors), are flagged "uncertain" because our own peering with this ASN could artifically include it as neigbour. ASNs that have been seen as a left neighbour and not as a direct peer with RIS are not flagged as "uncertain".
neighbours Contains all neighbours that were seen at the defined timestamp.
asn Defines the neighbouring ASN.
type Shows information about the neighbour's position ("left" or "right"). The type "uncertain" is explained in the "neighbour_counts" section.
power This represents the number of AS paths ("path count") containing this combination of ASN neighbours with the stated type ("left"/"right"). For compatibility reasons, this attribute has kept its name but will change with the next major release.
v4_peers/v6_peers Shows the total number of (full-table) peers, grouped by IP version, seeing this neighbour/position combination. Accumulated number of routes (prefixes) seen by peers. If all peers see the same route (prefix + AS path) then this number is equal to peers * routes. It is an indicator of how widely used this AS path combination is.
query_startime/query_endtime For reasons explained in the input parameter section, the query_starttime and query_endtime refer to the same point in time that the result is valid for.
resource Defines the resource used for the query.

This data call shows information on the network neighbours for a given ASN. This includes statistical information, the list of observed ASN neighbours and, depending on the level of detail, the ASN paths that this data is based on. 

                https://stat.ripe.net/data/asn-neighbours/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/asn-neighbours/data.json?resource=AS1205&query_time=2011-12-01T12:00:00

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource ASN for this query The data call will return all neighbours found for this ASN. YES
lod 0 or 1 Defines how many details are returned in the result. See the output section for further explanation. NO
query_time ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the query time for the query.
If not set, the start time will be set to the latest available data point. 		NO

Output

Data

Key Info
neighbour_counts Shows total counts for the neighbours, including the total number of "left", "right" and "unique" neighbours found. Neighbours that have been seen as left neighbours, but only as direct peers of one of our route collectors (RIS collectors), are flagged "uncertain" because our own peering with this ASN could artifically include it as neigbour. ASNs that have been seen as a left neighbour and not as a direct peer with RIS are not flagged as "uncertain".
neighbours Contains all neighbours that were seen at the defined point in time.

Details are only returned if the level of detail ("lod") is 1:
path_count States in how many paths this neighbour/position combination has been seen.
paths Contains details about the paths, including the RRC location where it has been seen and by how many (full-table) peers.
peeer_count Summarizes the number of peers seeing this neighbour/position combination.
asn Defines the neighbour ASN.
position Shows information about the neighbour's position ("left" or "right"). The type "uncertain" is explained in the "neighbour_counts" section.
path_count Shows how many times this neighbour with this position ("left"/"right" or "uncertain") was seen in an ASN path.
peer_count Shows the total number of (full-table) peers, grouped by IP version, seeing this neighbour/position combination.
query_time Reflects the time the data is valid for.
resource Defines the resource used for the query.

Atlas Probe Deployment

This data call provides information on the number of RIPE Atlas probes in a region, a country or network (ASN). It supports history, with a general start in 2014.
The information is based on data from the RIPE Atlas probe archive, ftp://ftp.ripe.net/ripe/atlas/probes/archive/, which is processed once a day. 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/atlas-probe-deployment/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/atlas-probe-deployment/data.json?resource=cc_nl

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource region, country, network (ASN) or mixed
 Due to the ambigious nature of abbreviated identifiers for regions and countries (e.g. me for Middle East and Montenegro) region and country resources should be prefixes with "region_" or "cc_".
Looking up a network can be specified on the IP version by using the prefix "asn4_" for IP v4 networks and "asn6_" for IP v6 networks.
For mixed results the resources just need to be comma separated. 		Yes
starttime/endtime ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Can be used to set the time range of the lookup and the output. No - by default starttime is beginning of 2014.

Output

Probe deployment

https://stat.ripe.net/data/atlas-probe-deployment/data.json?resource=nl

Returns the number of deployed probes in the Netherlands.

BGP State

This data call returns the state of BGP routes for a resource at a certain point in time, as observed by all the RIS collectors.
This is derived by applying a computation of state to the RIB dump (granularity=8h) that occurred exactly before that time, using the BGP updates observed between the RIB time and the query time. 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/bgp-state/data.<format>?<parameters>

Country ASNs

This data call provides information on a country's registered and routed ASNs. Registered ASNs are based on registration information made public by the Regional Internet Registries. The routing information is based on the data collected with the RIPE NCC's RIS system, https://ris.ripe.net.
The data call supports history, with data points being aligned to times dumps are created in RIS (00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC).
By default, the data call returns just the number of registered and routed ASNs. This is mainly to prevent returning thousands of ASNs. See parameter settings below to further tailor the output to your needs. 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/country-asns/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/country-asns/data.json?resource=nl

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource country The country has to be provided as an ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 country code. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 for details. Yes
query_time ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the time of the lookup. This value needs to be or will be aligned to the RIS dump times! No - by default it will return the latest available data point (either 00:00, 08:00 or 16:00 UTC)
"lod" integer Defines the level of detail in which the data is being returned.
Levels are:
  • 0 - Least detailed output
  • 1 - Most detailed output
 NO - default: 0

Output

Counts of ASNs registered and routed (default)

Output

Data

Key Info
locations Contains the geographical locations for the resource is used (Note that the interpretation for ASNs is different than for prefixes and IP ranges). Each location item has the following structure:

city holds the city name - it's not always available
country holds the ISO-3166 country code
covered_percentage denotes how much of the related IP space is used at this location.
Note there is a difference between a prefix/hostname look-up and an ASN look-up.
  • For a prefix/hostname look-up, the percentage relates to the resource that is being looked up.
  • For an ASN look-up the percentage shows how much of the announced address space (see "prefixes" field) is geographically known.
latitude/longitude hold the coordinates defined for this location
prefixes
  • for prefixes or IP ranges: the prefixes that are used at this location
  • for ASNs: all announced prefixes that are entirely or partially at this location
  • for hostnames: all resolved IP addresses (as 1-address prefixes) at this location
unknown_percentage holds the percentage of address space no geographic information could be found for
other_prefixes (Only for ASNs, hostnames and IP ranges in version >= 2.2) the list of prefixes which were queried, but which don't have any geolocation information
resource holds the resource the query was based on
query_time holds the time the query was based on (interesting in case no query_time input argument is given)

IANA Registry Info

This data call gives access to various data sources maintained by IANA. These include:

  • IANA 16-bit Autonomous System (AS) Numbers Registry (http://www.iana.org/assignments/as-numbers/as-numbers-1.csv)
  • IANA 32-bit Autonomous System (AS) Numbers Registry (http://www.iana.org/assignments/as-numbers/as-numbers-2.csv)
  • Etc. - the detailed list of data sources included can be seen in the methodology information of the data call. Note: Output format for the methodology information is JSON!

The data call supports a "resource" parameter which filters all results down to entries that are topologically related to the given resource.
The data is refreshed once a day to guarantee up-to-date information. 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/iana-registry-info/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/iana-registry-info/data.json?resource=193/23

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource IP address, prefix or ASN States the resource the data is being filtered on. NO - if this parameter is not given the entire information is returned.
best_match_only true/false If a resource is given and this parameter is set, only the best match (which is the closest topologically) is returned. NO - by default it is set to false.

Output

Data

Key Info
load_time Shows when the data was loaded from IANA.
resource Mirrors the resource (if given) for this lookup.
returned Number of entries in the result.
resources Holds all the results that the lookup matches - if not filtered it will return all results from IANA. The details vary between data sources but all have in common the "description", "source" and "source_url" fields. "Description" is an added field, which tries to create a more human readable summary of the parsed data.

M-lab Bandwidth

This data call returns a set of all the measured network bandwidths for a certain resource.

The data is based on active host measurements collected by the Measurement Lab platform (M-Lab).

The bandwidth of a host is determined as the maximum network throughput value for all the tests/measurements performed by that host during the specified time period.
The value of the measurement throughput is computed as the number of octets transmitted between the host and the chosen M-Lab server, divided by their transfer time.

The measurements are commonly ran using the M-Lab Network Detection Tool (NDT), available as a stand-alone network speed test application, and also included in a popular BitTorrent client.

Prefix Routing Consistency

This data call compares the given routes (prefix originating from an ASN) between Routing Registries and actual routing behaviour as seen by the RIPE NCC route collectors (RIS).

https://stat.ripe.net/data/prefix-routing-consistency/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/prefix-routing-consistency/data.json?resource=193.0.20.0/24

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource prefix The prefix to query yes

Output

Data

Key Info
in_bgp "True" if the route has been seen by RIS, "False" otherwise
in_whois "True" if the route exists in whois, "False" otherwise
origin AS number (integer) of the route
asn_name The name of this AS's holder
prefix Prefix (CIDR string) of the route (more or less specific to the input resource)
irr_sources IRR source this route was found in e.g. "RADB", "RIPE", "LEVEL3"...
query_starttime/query_endtime For registration data: query_starttime defines the query time

For routing data: holds the start and end time the query covers
From version 0.6 on the result is based on a snapshot instead of a time period. For compatibility reasons "query_starttime" and "query_endtime" will be kept in version 0.x but will hold the same value.
resource Defines the resource used for the query

Example

    "data": {
        "query_endtime": "2012-11-14T05:19:00",

RIR

This data call shows which RIR(s) allocated/assigned a resource. Depending on the level of detail ("lod" parameter) this can include additional information like registration status or country of registration. The data is based on RIR stats files, see ftp://ftp.ripe.net/pub/stats/. 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/rir/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/rir/data.json?resource=193.0.0.0/16

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource IP resource / ASN Defines the resource to be queried. The result contains resources that are more or less specific to the queried resource. YES
"starttime"/"endtime" ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the time start and end time for the query. NO - default: latest time data is available for. The RIRs are not synchronised on the release of the RIR stats, so the latest time can vary between RIRs.
"lod" integer Defines the level of detail in which the data is being returned.
Levels are:
  • 0 - Least detailed output
  • 1 - Default output
  • 2 - Most detailed output
 NO - default: 1

Output

Level of detail: 0

With this level, the output contains just the authoritative RIR of the resource being queried. For a non-historical query, this usually returns the currently authoritative RIR. For a historical query, all the RIRs that have ever been authoritative for the resource will be returned.

Example
    "data": {
            "query_starttime": "2015-06-23T00:00:00",

RIS Asns

This data call provides high-level information on ASNs in RIS, including:

  • total number of ASNs
  • listing of all ASNs
The data call supports history, with each data point being aligned to times a dump is created in RIS (00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC).
By default, the data call returns the total number of ASNs; more details can be obtained using parameters.

Note the term "transit" related to this data call means any ASN that is seen in the AS paths, collected by RIS, that is not the origin of a route.

This data call is in development status until the end of October. Due to the development status, the data starts only from 2015-07-01. Furhter data will be available as soon as the status changes to "supported". 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-asns/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-asns/data.json

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
query_time ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the time of the lookup. This value needs to be aligned to the RIS dump times! No - by default, it will return the latest available data point (either 00:00, 08:00 or 16:00 UTC)
list_asns boolean ("true"/"false") If true, the data call will return a list of all ASNs. This might be further separated into "originating" and "transitting". No - default is "false"
asn_types "o","t" or "o,t" "o" stands for originating and will show originating ASNs separately. "t" does the same for transitting ASNs (keep in mind the definition of a transit in this case). No - by default, if ASNs are listed, they are shown indiscriminately, with no separation between originating or transitting.

Output

Total number of ASNs seen in RIS (default)

https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-asns/data.json?query_time=2015-09-23T08:00

The data call simply returns the total number of observed ASNs in RIS at the time given in the "query_time" parameter.

Example
    "data": {
        "counts": {
            "total": 52360
        }, 
        "list_asns": false, 
        "query_time": "2015-09-23T08:00:00"
    }

ASNs are listed with no distinction between originating and transitting

https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-asns/data.json?list_asns=true

The data call returns the list (which is shortened in the docuemtation) of all ASNs seen in RIS at the time given in the "query_time" parameter.

Example
    "data": {
        "counts": {
            "total": 52360
        }, 
        "query_time": "2015-09-23T08:00:00",

    }

ASNs are listed with distinction between originating and transitting

https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-asns/data.json?list_asns=true&asn_types=t,o

The data call returns the two lists (which are shortened in the docuemtation) of all originating and transiting ASNs seen in RIS at the time given in the "query_time" parameter.

Example
    "data": {
        "asn_types": [

RIS First-Last-Seen

This data call provides information on when a prefix or ASN was first and last seen in RIS data.
The data generally goes back to 2000. For the recency of the data you can check the parameter "latest_time", which usually is not more than 8 hours behind real-time.
The "low_visibility" flag, which can be optionally included, shows if the data point was seen by a low or high number of peers. 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-first-last-seen/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-first-last-seen/data.json?resource=193.0.20.0/23

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource Prefix, ASN A prefix or ASN to be looked up.
The output for ASNs distinguishes between how an ASN has been seen in RIS. This can be as either originating or not. Originating has the type set to "o". 		Yes
include more_specific, low_visibility_flag This parameter defines additional data to be included.

"more_specific" includes more specific IP ranges, which only works for prefix lookups. By default "more_specific" is not set as it makes the lookup slower.

"low_visibility_flag" includes the flag to indicate low visibility. By default it is not included. 		No

Output

First and last seen in RIS for a prefix

https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-first-last-seen/data.json?resource=193.0.20.0/23&include=low_visibility_flag

This prefix was first seen at 2008-03-27 and last seen very recently 2016-08-08. In both cases it was seen by enough peers to be considered "globally" routed.

Example
    "data": {
        "latest_time": "2016-08-11T08:00:12",
        "resource": "193.0.20.0/23",

RIS Prefixes

This data call provides information on prefixes related to an ASN. The data call distinguishes prefixes in the originated and transitted ASN.
Note that this distinction is purely based on the perspective of the RIPE NCC's RIS system and does NOT imply the underlying (business) relationships between networks!

The data call supports history, with each data point being aligned to times a dump is created in RIS (00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC).
By default, the data call returns just the count of prefixes related to the looked up ASN. This is mainly to prevent returning thousands of prefixes. See parameter settings below to further tailor the output to your needs. 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-prefixes/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-prefixes/data.json?resource=3333

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource ASN The ASN to be looked up. Yes
query_time ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the time of the lookup. This value needs to be aligned to the RIS dump times! No - by default it will return the latest available data point (either 00:00, 08:00 or 16:00 UTC)
list_prefixes boolean ("true"/"false") If true, the data call will return all prefixes and not only the total counts. This might be further separated into "originating" and "transitting". No - default is "false"
types "o","t" or "o,t" "o" will show originating prefixes and "t" transitting. The combination shows both, which is the default. No - by default originating and transitting are included.
af "v4","v6" or "v4,v6" This parameter lets you filter the address family: "v4" shows only IPv4 and "v6" only IPv6. No - by default, IP version 4 and 6 are included.
noise "keep" or "filter" Noise refers to routed prefixes that are either coming from private IP space, single IP addresses or the entire IP space (/0). "filter" will remove these prefixes from the output, "keep" will not remove any prefixes. No - by default "keep" is enabled.

Output

Counts of prefixes classified by address family and ASN relation (default)

https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-prefixes/data.json?resource=3333

The data call returns the counts of prefixes for the given ASN and for the latest time that data is available for.

Example
    "data": {
        "query_time": "2015-09-24T08:00:00",
        "resource": "3333",
        noise: [
            "keep"
        ],
        "af": [
            "v4",

RIS Peer Count

This data call provides information on the number of peers as seen by the RIS system. The data call supports history and each data point is aligned to the RIS RIB dump times (every 8 hours starting from midnight each day). Additionally the data shows the number of full-table peers with paramters to change the threshold (per address family). 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-peer-count/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/ris-peer-count/data.json

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
starttime/endtime ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the start and end time for the query window No - by default it will return the latest available data point (either 00:00, 08:00 or 16:00 UTC)
v4_full_prefix_threshold/ v6_full_prefix_threshold digit Defines the thresholds (IPv4 and IPv6) used to calculate the number of full-table peers. NO - default are returned in the output.

Output

Data

Key Info
peer_count Groups the address families. Each group item ("v4" or "v6") has the following structure:

total or full_feed "total" shows the total number of peers and "full_feed" shows the number of peers that are considered full-table peers. Each group has further:

count The number of peers
timestamp Date and time (UTC) when this data point is valid, in ISO8601 format
v4_full_prefix_threshold/ v6_full_prefix_threshold Reflects the thresholds that are used for the calculations of the full-table peers. Both (IPv4 and IPv6) are the number of prefixes a peer needs to send before it is considered a full-table peer.
starttime / endtime Reflects the start and end time for the query window of the result.

Routing History

This data call shows the history of announcements for prefixes, including the origin ASN and the first hop.

The data comes from the RIS route collectors.

https://stat.ripe.net/data/routing-history/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/routing-history/data.json?resource=AS3333
e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/routing-history/data.json?resource=193.0.0.0/21

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource prefix or ASN The resource to query. This is a prefix (v4/v6), IP address or AS number. yes
max_rows integer The maximum number of routes to return. This is a soft limit: all recorded routes for each origin ASN are returned, but when the row limit is reached no more origins will be returned. no (default: 3000)
include_first_hop boolean Include the first hop ASN in the route, instead of just the origin ASN. no (default: false)
normalise_visibility boolean Add a visibility field to each timeline indicating the visibility of the route (according to RIS) at that point in time. The visibility is computed as the peers_seeing divided by the number of RIS full table peers at the time. no (default: false)
min_peers integer Minimum number of full-feed RIS peers seeing the route for the segment to be included in the results. Excludes low-visibility/localized announcements. no (default: 3)
starttime ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the starttime for the query no (default: 2004-01-01)
endtime ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the endtime for the query no (default: latest time there is BGP data available)

Output

Data

Key Info
by_origin A list containing routes grouped by origin.
origin The ASN (or AS pair including first hop) of the announcing prefix.
prefixes A list of prefixes and timelines.
prefix The IPv4 or IPv6 prefix in standard notation.
timelines Time periods during which this origin announced this prefix.
starttime The start time of the period.
endtime The end time of the period.
full_peers_seeing The number of RIS full-feed peers that saw this route.
visibility (if normalise_visibility=true) Visibility of the route according to RIS.
query_endtime The time for which the data is valid.
query_starttime The time for which the data is valid.

Routing Status

This data call returns a summary of the current BGP routing state of a given IP prefix or ASN, as observed by the RIS route collectors. 

https://stat.ripe.net/data/routing-status/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/routing-status/data.json?resource=AS3333
e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/routing-status/data.json?resource=193.0.0.0/21

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource resource The resource to query. This is a prefix (v4/v6), IP address or AS number yes
timestamp ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the time for which to perform the query no
min_peers_seeing boolean Minimum number of peers seeing the route for it to be included in the results. Excludes low-visibility/localized announcements. no (default: 3)

Output

Data

Key Info
first_seen/last_seen Information on when and how the resource was first and last seen in BGP. The following structure is present only if the resource was ever seen in BGP.

time The time when the resource was first/last seen.
origin The origin AS in the route when the resource was first/last seen.
prefix The prefix in the route when the resource was first/last seen.
visibility The BGP visibility of the resource, in terms of RIS peers seeing the resource versus total peers, separated over IPv4 and IPv6.

v4/v6 The IP family of table announced by the peers.

ris_peers_seeing The number of full-table (of that IP family) RIS peers currently seeing the resource.
total_ris_peers The total number of full-table (of that IP family) RIS peers, at that point in time.
announced space
(only for resources of type: AS) 		Indicates the amount of address space currently announced by that AS number.

v4
prefixes The number of IPv4 prefixes announced by the ASn.
ips The total amount of IPv4 address space announced by the ASn by combining all the prefixes in terms of unique IP addresses.
v6
prefixes The number of IPv6 prefixes announced by the ASn.
/48s The total amount of IPv6 address space announced by the ASn by combining all the prefixes in terms of unique /48 subnets.
observed_neighbours
(only for resources of type: AS) 		The amount of unique ASes which are observed to be BGP neighbours of the queried AS at this point in time. Note that the AS might have more neighbours than is specified here, but they are not observed by the RIS collectors.
origins
(only for resources of type: prefix) 		The list of origin ASes which currently announce this exact match prefix. Each item has the following structure:

origin The origin AS.
route_objects A list of routing registry sources where there is a route object exactly matching this prefix and origin AS.
less_specifics/more_specifics
(only for resources of type: prefix) 		The list of less specific and more specific prefixes related to the queries prefix currently announced in BGP. Each list is limited to a maximum of 50 items. Each item has the following structure:

prefix The less/more specific prefix.
origin The origin AS which announces the prefix.
resource The resource this query is based on.
query_time The time for which the data is valid.

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/visibility/data.json?resource=140.78.0.0/16

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
resource Prefix or IP range to query for - YES
starttime ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the starttime for the query NO - default: latest time there is BGP data available
endtime ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the endtime for the query NO - default: latest time there is BGP data available
include peers_seeing This parameter defines additional data to be included.

"peers_seeing" includes details on peers that are seeing a resource as only the peers that are not seeing a resource. By default it is not set because the output become significantly bigger.

 No

Output

Data

Key Info
visibilities A list of RIPE NCC Routing Information Service probes with visibility information. Each probe item has the following structure:

ipv4_full_table_peer_count / ipv6_full_table_peer_count Number of full-table peers for IPv4 / IPv6.
ipv4_full_table_peers_not_seeing / ipv6_full_table_peers_not_seeing

optional: ipv4_full_table_peers_seeing / ipv6_full_table_peers_seeing 		Lists of peers that don't see the queried resource with the option to see also peers that are seeing the queried resoure. Each peer has the following details:

asn Autonomous System Number of the peer.
ip IP address of the peer.
prefix_count The number of prefixes of this IP family passed in the peer full table.
probe Details about the probe:

city / country Human readable location of the probe.
longitude / latitude Coordinates of the probe's location.
name ID of the probe.
ixp Name of the internet exchange hosting the probe.
ipv4_peer_count / ipv6_peer_count Number of IPv4 or IPv6 peers with this probe.
resource The resource this query is based on.
query_starttime/query_endtime The time period the query covers. In version 3.1 the result is based on a snapshot instead of a time period. For compatibility reasons "query_starttime" and "query_endtime" will be kept in version 3.x but will hold the same value.

Whois Object Last Updated

This data call returns information of when a certain object was last updated in the whois database.

https://stat.ripe.net/data/whois-object-last-updated/data.<format>?<parameters>

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/whois-object-last-updated/data.json?object=AS3333&type=aut-num&source=RIPE

Parameters

Key Value Info Required
object Object name The exact object to query for YES
type Object type Examples: aut-num, inetnum, person, etc YES
source Database source RIPE or APNIC YES
timestamp ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the time for which to perform the query NO
compare_with_live true or false When True (default), the version at the last changed time will be compared with the current live object and indicate if it's different. This will indicate whether there has been at least one modification between "query_time" and "now". NO

Output

Data

Key Info
last_updated holds the time the object was last updated (before the query_time) in the specified Whois database
object holds the object name the query was based on
query_time holds the time the query was based on
same_as_live indicates whether the object at "query_time" is identical to the current live object. Only applicable for RIPE DB objects. Possible values: "yes", "no" or null. null indicates there has been no comparison with the live object and it is therefore unknown. This can be because the mechanism is switched off ("compare_with_live" query option), or it's an object outside the RIPE database.

Example

    "data": {
        "last_updated": "2012-04-17T10:12:15",
    	"object": "AS3333",
    	"query_time": "2012-04-21T00:00:00",
    	"same_as_live": "yes"
    }
