[Intelmq-users] RIPE Expert Geolocation data (currently) not available anymore

[Sebastian Wagner]

Hi,

(involving intelmq-dev now so that we can move that discussion to the
developers' list)

Thanks for the hint. That could be a possible replacement. When
analyzing the stat.ripe.net webinterface I also found this endpoint
giving the same result:

https://stat.ripe.net/data/rir-geo/data.json?resource=131.130.254.77

Has anyone a clue why RIPE provides so many different endpoints for the
same data? (With different status which is not properly propagated to
the status code...)

best wishes,
Sebastian
