📡 RIPEstat Data Scraper

🚀 Query the RIPEstat public Data API in seconds. Pull 9 data calls including AS overview, whois, prefix overview, geolocation, ASN neighbours, routing history, RIS prefixes, network info, and BGPlay. Batch query a list of resources or auto-discover every ASN in a country. No API key, no signup.

The RIPEstat Scraper wraps the RIPEstat Data API, the canonical public interface to RIPE NCC's routing and registry data. The Actor supports nine widely-used data calls and three input modes: single resource, multi-resource batch, and country-wide auto-discovery. For each resource you submit, the Actor writes one envelope record containing the raw RIPE response, the status, the queried resource string, and the data-call name.

RIPEstat aggregates data from RIPE's registry, RIS route collectors, geolocation providers, and the wider RIR community. It is the standard tool for network engineers, security researchers, and policy analysts who need authoritative information about how an ASN, prefix, or IP behaves on the global Internet.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Network engineers, BGP operators, security researchers, OSINT analysts, abuse desks, journalists, academics	ASN due diligence, routing-history forensics, hijack detection, geo enrichment, country-scale ISP inventories, BGPlay replays, prefix announcement audits

📋 What the RIPEstat Scraper does

Nine data calls, three input modes, in one Actor:

• 📡 9 data calls. as-overview, whois, network-info, prefix-overview, geoloc, asn-neighbours, routing-history, ris-prefixes, bgplay.
• 🎯 Single resource. Hit one ASN (e.g. AS3333) or IP prefix (e.g. 193.0.0.0/21).
• 📦 Batch mode. Pass a list of ASNs or prefixes via the resources array. Each entry becomes one row.
• 🌍 Country discovery. Set countryCode to a two-letter ISO code (NL, DE, US, JP) and the Actor pre-queries the country-resource-list data call, expands every allocated ASN range, and runs your chosen data call across the entire allocation. Honors maxItems.

Each output row carries the original resource and dataCall for traceability, the upstream status, the full RIPE data object, any non-empty messages from the upstream API, and a queriedAt timestamp.

💡 Why it matters: RIPEstat is the authoritative public source for inter-domain routing data. A single API call can confirm whether a prefix is announced, who its origin ASN is, which neighbours it peers with, and how that picture has changed over time. The country-discovery mode is unique to this Actor and lets you sweep an entire national ASN allocation in one run.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: data, dataCall, queriedAt, resource, status. All 5 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
