Dear colleagues,
Over the past year, we have been migrating RIPEstat infrastructure to a new
environment. As part of this process, we reviewed all components to ensure
long-term maintainability. Three components with very low usage and ongoing
data
issues will be deprecated and removed in a month.
We are announcing the immediate deprecation of the following API endpoints:
* /data/speedchecker-bandwidth-measurements/…
* /data/meternet-bandwidth-measurements/…
* /data/generic-data (undocumented)
These endpoints have not been visible in RIPEstat for a considerable period
and
have experienced ongoing issues with data updates. Removing these endpoints
will
reduce our application and systems maintenance overhead.
These endpoints are deprecated with immediate effect and will be completely
removed on 13 October 2025.
Analysis shows very low external usage of these endpoints (fewer than 10 IP
addresses in August 2025). We therefore do not expect this change to affect
most
users. However, we recognise that API deprecations can be disruptive, and
we
welcome feedback from anyone who relies on these services.
We are particularly interested in hearing from users who require bandwidth
measurement data, as we understand this represents a niche but potentially
valuable use case. We would like to understand your specific usage patterns
and requirements for this type of data.
If the removal of these endpoints will impact your operations, please
contact
us immediately.
Kind regards,
Ties de Kock
RIPE NCC
