Here's a simpler alternative with IP Guide that doesn't require a CLI: curl -sL ip.guide/AS19551 | jq .routes

I'd also suggest filing a correction with MaxMind, which is where most modern geolocation data is derived: https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-location-correction .

Great idea. This is rolling out right now.

It's not available from the API, but there is a "last updated" date when you view it in a browser. It's at most 8 hours old.

For the backend, it's written in Rust using a few key crates: axum for the api, bgpkit-parser for parsing the MRT data, and reqwest for fetching data at boot. The site is hosted on Neptune Networks, another side project of mine for peo

You'll have to follow the redirects since the site doesn't support HTTP, but just shipped pretty-printing.

No rate limits or auth for requests, but as mentioned below the api starts to load shed at 2k concurrent requests.

IP Guide is also using MaxMind, I'm not familiar with many other data sources for that kind of data. Are you seeing discrepancies? No rate limits or auth for requests, but as mentioned below the api starts to load shed at 2k concurrent

Yeah, if you click on "bulk data" you'll see the two statically hosted CSVs for ASN and IP data. What else would you find useful in those datasets? It's quite easy to expand on them.

Oh cool! Is this a fork of ifconfig.co?

by bswinnerton 3y ago
Yes! Quite easily, but it requires thinking through the right API design. I'll see if I can work this in this weekend.

Great feedback, I'll add a little more to the site to describe how it all works. Until then... At a 30,000ft view, the site works by building an in-memory routing table at boot time that has an entry for every route on the internet and

I do that every. single. time.

Go for it! There's no formal rate limiting or auth, but it does start to load shed at 2k concurrent requests. It's stateless, so it's very easy to scale horizontally after that. LoginLlama looks super helpful, what else would

Repository contents aren’t “sent” to China, companies like Tencent specify the shape of tokens to GitHub and GitHub does the scanning and then notifies Tencent to revoke the token if one is found.

It can be relatively inexpensive, depending on which RIR you’re using. There are providers like [Neptune Networks]( https://neptunenetworks.org/ ) or [Vultr]( https://www.vultr.com/ ) that you can peer with fro

Before every deploy your branch has master merged into it. There’s some clever work by Hubot while you’re in line to deploy to create a version of your branch that has the potential new master / main branch. If conflicts arise you fix

Not on that page, no, but you could easily fetch this information via the GraphQL API.

by bswinnerton 6y ago
Oh sorry, I should have clarified it’s GraphQL “under the hood” (backend). Most of GitHub is a Rails app, and in the case of the commits page, the controller makes a GraphQL query, and then takes the results and injects it into the view, al
