This data call returns information commonly coming from a Looking Glass. The data is based on a data feed from the RIPE NCC's network of BGP route collectors (RIS, see https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/stats/ris for more information).
The data processing usually happens with a small delay and can be considered near real-time.
The output is structured by collector node (RRC) accompanied by the location and the BGP peers which provide the routing information.

https://stat.ripe.net/data/looking-glass/data.<format>?<parameters>

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

Parameters

Key	Value	Info	Required
resource	A prefix or an IP address.	Prefixes need to match exactly a prefix found in the routing data. If given as IP address, the data call will try to find the encompassing prefix for the IP address.	YES
look_back_limit	Defines the cut-off threshold in seconds for the recency of the entries.	Any results older than the cut-off threshold are not returned. This is useful when data is delayed and should not show up.	NO - default is 86400 (= 24 hours)

Output

Data

Key	Info
rrcs	There is one entry for each collector node (RRC) that provides data for the given input resource. Each RRC entry holds the location and the ID of the RRC together with the list of BGP peer information. The BGP peer information contains: origin: type of BGP origin last_updated: the timestamp when this route was last changed lastest_time: the timestamp when this route was last confirmed as_path: the path of ASNs seen for this route community: BGP community information for this route asn_orgin: the originating ASN for the matched prefix prefix: the matched prefix based on the query input resource next_hop: the next hop from the perspective of this peer peer: IP address of the peer interface
latest_time	Provides info on how recent the data is.

Key

Info

rrcs

There is one entry for each collector node (RRC) that provides data for the given input resource. Each RRC entry holds the location and the ID of the RRC together with the list of BGP peer information.
The BGP peer information contains:

origin: type of BGP origin
last_updated: the timestamp when this route was last changed
lastest_time: the timestamp when this route was last confirmed
as_path: the path of ASNs seen for this route
community: BGP community information for this route
asn_orgin: the originating ASN for the matched prefix
prefix: the matched prefix based on the query input resource
next_hop: the next hop from the perspective of this peer
peer: IP address of the peer interface

latest_time

Provides info on how recent the data is.
