Query ParametersExpand Collapse
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"
limit: optional number

Limits the number of objects returned in the response.

exclusiveMinimum
minimum0
name: optional array of string

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

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

Filters results by BGP update type.

One of the following:
"ANNOUNCEMENT"
"WITHDRAWAL"
