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¶m2=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:
|
| 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. |
Regular Usage
If you are using the API on a regular basic 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 with the identifier and an email address to reach you.
(If you include your project's purpose 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:
|
| 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. |
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.

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 | Shows how many times this neighbour with this type ("left"/"right") was seen in an ASN path. 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. |
| 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. |

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>
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"
}
