[PDB-tech] ix subnet validation
by Callahan Warlick 14 Sep '15

Hey all, In the oldschool mgmtPublicsIPs table, there was an address field containing the subnet/mask of the IX- e.g. (scriptro_ssl(a)cdb.intern.netdb)> select * from mgmtPublicsIPs where public_id=1; +-----+-----------+--------------+-------------------+ | id | public_id | type | address | +-----+-----------+--------------+-------------------+ | 168 | 1 | IPv6 Unicast | 2001:504:0:2::/64 | | 425 | 1 | IPv4 Unicast | 206.126.236.0/22 | +-----+-----------+--------------+-------------------+ This was kind of a pain-in-the-butt to get people to maintain, but was nice to have to validate peer subnet IP addresses were appropriate for the fabric. It doesn't look like that was ported over to the beta api/ix Am I missing it somewhere else, or was it decided to leave it out? Thanks in advance! -Callahan

[PDB-tech] How to get all networks with presence on an IX
by Kristian Larsson 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

Dear all, how would I go about fetching all networks that has presence on a given IX via the API? Reading the API docs I figured it would be something along the lines of: https://beta.peeringdb.com/api/net?depth=1&ixlan_id=128 Does that make sense? Do I need to specify in which data structure ixlan_id exists? Docs state: Nested sets will not be loaded (any field ending with the _set suffix) unless the 'depth' parameter is passed in the request URL, note that this can be quite slow. It doesn't say what value is expected for depth but I assume it's a positive integer on how deep into the data structure it should go. I experimented with a few different values. The warning about it being slow is right on the money :/ Regardless, once it's loaded it seems the result set contains all entries in pdb, rather than the ones with ixlan_id=128. How do I search for all networks with presence on an IX? Could the members perhaps be included in /api/ix/128 ? I suppose the same question is valid for facilities although I have not yet looked into that. Kind regards, Kristian.

[PDB-tech] Health check for peeringdb api
by Nitin Chadha 19 Aug '15

Hi, We have an internal tool which consumes peering db api. I wanted to know is there any healthcheck defined for api's ? We were thinking of setting up a ping check, to make sure api is up and running. Also, it would be helpful for caching purposes also. ------- Best, Nitin Chadha
