Changes to the RIPEstat UI
by Ties de Kock 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, Over the next few months, we will be making changes to RIPEstat, our information service and open data platform. Most noteworthy, we will introduce a new user interface (UI) that combines elements of the two previous versions introduced in 2013 and 2020. Initially, we will focus on reverting to the 2013 UI and adding the unique features that were available only in the 2020 UI. Afterwards, we will continue building on what we have, and on what we learned, and build something better that aligns with what our users need. Finally, we will sunset the 2020 UI as we continue developing the newer user interface. Our decision was made after extensive user research whilst we maintained two interfaces for a few years, and tried to bridge the gap between the ‘old’ and ‘new’. Our aim now is not simply to bring back an older platform, but to focus on the elements that matter to RIPEstat users the most, and build on them to modernise the product altogether. You can read more details about our decision in our RIPE Labs article: https://labs.ripe.net/author/adonis_stergiopoulos/streamlining-ripestat-bui… We welcome your comments on this mailing list, on the RIPE NCC Forum or by emailing us at stat(a)ripe.net. Kind regards, Ties de Kock Specialist software engineer RIPE NCC

Resource Requests API to be decommissioned on 6 January 2025
by Marco Schmidt 01 Oct '24

01 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, We are planning to decommission the Resource Requests API on 6 January 2025. We have examined our members’ use of the Resource Requests API and saw that the number of requests through the API has decreased significantly. The API is currently used by only 17 members and requires considerable resources to maintain. Being mindful of the call from our members to cut costs where possible, we have decided to decommission this service. All members using the API will be notified individually so that they have time to adjust their tools and procedures. If you have significant issues or concerns about this, please respond to this email by the end of the week. Kind regards, Marco Schmidt Manager Registration Services RIPE NCC
