R RIPE Atlas

Query RIPE Atlas data from R!

Install

You'll need some C libraries. I think this works on Debian. :

sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev curl

Then install the R package. :

wget https://github.com/tlevine/rripe-atlas/archive/master.tar.gz
R CMD INSTALL master.tar.gz

Use

Import it. :

library(rripeatlas)

Get a bunch of measurements from https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/measurement/. :

get.measurement()

Get one measurement, like from https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/measurement/1001/. :

get.measurement(1001)

Get a result, like from https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/measurement/1001/result/. :

# Not yet implemented because I'm waiting for the result to download!
# get.result(1001)

The interface is quite basic at the moment; tell me if there's a particular option/feature you need.

Other things

This is the main thing that I figured could be accessed from R. https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/

It might be worth looking at Sagan. https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/sagan/
