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.

e.g. https://stat.ripe.net/data/bgp-state/data.json?resource=140.78/16&timestamp=2012-12-21T12:00

Parameters

Key	Value	Info	Required
resource	Prefix, IP address, AS or a list of valid comma-separated resources	Defines the resource that the query is performed for. If a list of resources is supplied, the results will be combined for all of them.	YES
timestamp	ISO8601 or Unix timestamp	Defines the time for when to perform the query.	NO - default: latest time there is BGP data available
rrcs	Single-value or comma-separated values of RRC numbers (4 or 0,4,12,15)	The list of Route Collectors (RRCs) to get the results from.	NO - default behaviour: all RRCs
unix_timestamps	TRUE or FALSE	If TRUE, will format the timestamps in the result as Unix timestamp.	NO - default: FALSE

Output

Data

Key	Info
bgp_state	List of BGP routes. target_prefix Prefix to which this BGP route refers to. path The AS path in this BGP route, formatted as a list of ASes (first element is the direct BGP neighbour, last element is the origin AS). community The list of communities in this BGP route. source_id The id of the route collector (rrc) neighbouring peer through which this BGP route was observed. The format is "[rrc number]-[peer IP address]".
nr_routes	The number of BGP routes observed at that time.
query_time	Defines the time of the query.
resource	Defines the resource used in the query.
