CLI & text-based server for RIPEstat now available

Fri Nov 9 10:03:11 UTC 2012

Dear colleagues,

due to the popular demand, we are now providing RIPEstat data in the 
text format, in two ways:

you can use existing clients to query the RIPEstat server on port 43:

~# echo as3333 | nc stat.ripe.net 43 | less
~# whois -h stat.ripe.net  AS3333

or

you can get out client from GitHub, use it and/or modify it: 
https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripestat-text

Please let us know if this is how the operators prefer their data,
and what would be new features you want us to work on.

Or, contribute to the code yourself :)

Regards,
Vesna

More info:

RIPEstat is an interface to the information about IP addresses and AS 
numbers collected by RIPE NCC: registry data, RIPE (whois) database, IRR 
data, and both real-time & historical routing information collected by 
RIS (Route Information Service).

The visualized data is available via web queries, and there is a 
Data-API access available too, but now made easily accessible even for 
people who do not know much about scripting, yet prefer command-line 
queries.
