Get BGP time series

GET/radar/bgp/timeseries

Retrieves BGP updates over time. When requesting updates for an autonomous system, only BGP updates of type announcement are returned.

Security
API Token

The preferred authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. Create a token.

Example:Authorization: Bearer Sn3lZJTBX6kkg7OdcBUAxOO963GEIyGQqnFTOFYY
API Email + API Key

The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API, used in conjunction with a Global API key.

Example:X-Auth-Email: user@example.com

The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. When possible, use API tokens instead of Global API keys.

Example:X-Auth-Key: 144c9defac04969c7bfad8efaa8ea194

Query ParametersExpand Collapse
aggInterval: optional "15m" or "1h" or "1d" or "1w"

Aggregation interval of the results (e.g., in 15 minutes or 1 hour intervals). Refer to Aggregation intervals. When omitted, the interval is auto-selected from the requested date range; finer intervals are only available for shorter ranges. If the requested interval is too granular for the date range, the request is rejected.

One of the following:
"15m"
"1h"
"1d"
"1w"
asn: optional array of string

Filters results by Autonomous System. Specify one or more Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) as a comma-separated list. Prefix with - to exclude ASNs from results. For example, -174, 3356 excludes results from AS174, but includes results from AS3356.

dateEnd: optional array of string

End of the date range (inclusive). Alternative to dateRange; provide together with dateStart. When requesting comparison series, every series must resolve to the same duration as the main series. Each dateStart/dateEnd is floored to the nearest 15 minutes before evaluation, so windows whose durations match only before alignment may be rejected.

dateRange: optional array of string

Filters results by relative date range ending at the current time, with each value producing a separate series. Use <n>d for days (up to 364d) or <n>w for weeks (up to 52w). Append control to request the equivalent previous period for comparison: the comparison window is shifted back by the current window’s length rounded up to a whole number of weeks, so it keeps the same weekday alignment and does not overlap the current window (e.g. 7dcontrol covers days -14 to -7, 10dcontrol covers days -24 to -14). For example, pass 7d and 7dcontrol to compare this week with the previous week. All series must resolve to the same duration as the main series; relative ranges (including control) satisfy this automatically. Use this parameter or set specific start and end dates (dateStart and dateEnd parameters).

dateStart: optional array of string

Start of the date range. Alternative to dateRange; provide together with dateEnd. When requesting comparison series, every series must resolve to the same duration as the main series. Each dateStart/dateEnd is floored to the nearest 15 minutes before evaluation, so windows whose durations match only before alignment may be rejected.

format: optional "JSON" or "CSV"

Format in which results will be returned.

One of the following:
"JSON"
"CSV"
name: optional array of string

Array of names used to label the series in the response.

prefix: optional array of string

Filters results by BGP network prefix.

updateType: optional array of "ANNOUNCEMENT" or "WITHDRAWAL"

Filters results by BGP update type.

One of the following:
"ANNOUNCEMENT"
"WITHDRAWAL"
