Here's a simpler alternative with IP Guide that doesn't require a CLI: curl -sL ip.guide/AS19551 | jq .routes

I'd also suggest filing a correction with MaxMind, which is where most modern geolocation data is derived: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-location-correction .

Great idea. This is rolling out right now.

It's not available from the API, but there is a "last updated" date when you view it in a browser. It's at most 8 hours old.

For the backend, it's written in Rust using a few key crates: axum for the api, bgpkit-parser for parsing the MRT data, and reqwest for fetching data at boot. The site is hosted on…

You'll have to follow the redirects since the site doesn't support HTTP, but just shipped pretty-printing.

No rate limits or auth for requests, but as mentioned below the api starts to load shed at 2k concurrent requests.

The country code is the last portion of the networks CSV: $ curl -sL ip.guide/bulk/networks.csv | head -n 2 prefix,asn,organization,country 1.0.0.0/24,13335,"Cloudflare, Inc.",US

IP Guide is also using MaxMind, I'm not familiar with many other data sources for that kind of data. Are you seeing discrepancies? No rate limits or auth for requests, but as menti…

Yeah, if you click on "bulk data" you'll see the two statically hosted CSVs for ASN and IP data. What else would you find useful in those datasets? It's quite easy to expand on the…

Oh cool! Is this a fork of ifconfig.co?

Yes! Quite easily, but it requires thinking through the right API design. I'll see if I can work this in this weekend.

Great feedback, I'll add a little more to the site to describe how it all works. Until then... At a 30,000ft view, the site works by building an in-memory routing table at boot tim…

> Having a simple paragraph about RIPE, BGP and ARIN would be helpful (at least for me). That's a great idea. I'll add a tooltip over some of the less obvious fields describing wha…

I do that every. single. time.

Go for it! There's no formal rate limiting or auth, but it does start to load shed at 2k concurrent requests. It's stateless, so it's very easy to scale horizontally after that. Lo…

Hey all, wanted to share my recent weekend hack project. I wanted to improve upon the existing space for looking up information about IP addresses and ASNs. The backend is written …

Repository contents aren’t “sent” to China, companies like Tencent specify the shape of tokens to GitHub and GitHub does the scanning and then notifies Tencent to revoke the token …

These are known as GitHub apps and were designed to address this problem. https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/getting-started-w...

It can be relatively inexpensive, depending on which RIR you’re using. There are providers like [Neptune Networks]( https://neptunenetworks.org/ ) or [Vultr]( https://www.vultr.com…
