Look up ASN and prefix routing data via the RIPEstat Data API
domain: ripe.net · 5 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Call endpoints with no authentication required, using the pattern https://stat.ripe.net/data/<endpoint>/data.json?resource=<value>, e.g. as-overview?resource=AS3333 or prefix-overview?resource=193.0.0.0/23.
Add a sourceapp=<your-identifier> query parameter as a courtesy so RIPE NCC can identify your integration, especially if you exceed roughly 1000 requests/day.
Stay under the hard limit of 8 concurrent requests per source IP.
Check the data_call_status field in every response (supported / deprecated / development) since deprecated calls can be retired on an announced date — pin to a specific API version with preferred_version if stability matters.
Bypass response caching with &cache=ignore only when you know results are stale, and add &data_overload_limit=ignore for programmatic (non-browser) requests that would otherwise get truncated.
Known gotchas
Responses can be cached server-side (cached: true/false in the envelope) — don't assume every call reflects live data unless you explicitly ignore the cache.
Some previously-documented endpoint names (e.g. a literal routing-status call) don't appear in the current endpoint index — verify exact endpoint names against the live docs rather than older references.
Plain HTTP (port 80) still works today, but RIPE has signaled it plans to require HTTPS — don't hardcode http:// in long-lived integrations.
Give your agent this knowledge — and 15,500+ more routes
