BGP Update Activity
This endpoint returns the number of BGP updates seen over time. Results are aggregated in time intervals, the lenght of which is determined by the input parameters.
GET /data/bgp-update-activity/data.json?resource=140.78/16&starttime=2020-12-12T12:00
Parameters
| Key | Value | Info | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| resource | prefix, IP range or AS | defines the resource the query is carried out on | YES |
| starttime | ISO8601 or Unix timestamp | Defines the starttime for the query | Only when specific endtime is set |
| endtime | ISO8601 or Unix timestamp | Defines the endtime for the query | NO - if not set it falls back to "now" |
| max_samples | Positive integer, or 0 to disable | BGP events are aggregated in to at most this number of sampling periods | NO - defaults to 50 |
| min_sampling_period | Positive number of seconds | The smallest possible time period for each interval. It will be automatically increased to satisfy 'max_samples' | NO - defaults to 1 minute |
| num_hours | number | Number of hours to look back. If no 'starttime' and 'endtime' are provided this parameter will be used to calculate 'starttime' from the deafult 'endtime' (which is 'now'). | NO - defaults to 14 * 24 hours |
| hide_empty_samples | boolean | If true (default) then samples with 0 updates will not be returned - they are simply implied by the returned query_startendtime/query_endtime. | NO - defaults to true (may be changed in a later release) |
