Hi,
I just noticed, that RIPE currently does not provide geolocation information anymore as a result of the MaxMind data license change. That data can/could be queried with the IntelMQ RIPE expert. In case you are still relying on this information, please use another source for geolocation data, like the maxmind geolocation expert and local data. Unfortunately, the returned status code of the API call is 200 and the error is only detectable by another field. I am working on changes in the RPIE expert to detect this and raise a warning for it.
best regards, Sebastian
For example https://stat.ripe.net/data/maxmind-geo-lite/data.json?resource=131.130.254.7... says:
messages 0 0 "info" 1 "This data is currently unavailable due to maintenance. Please check official announcements for when it will be available again! https://stat.ripe.net/feedback" data_call_status "maintenance - this data call is in maintenance mode"
Is this alternative RIPE API endpoint a feasible alternative?
https://stat.ripe.net/data/geoloc/data.json?resource=131.130.254.77/24
Cheers,
Chris

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
