Feature you asked for: "latest results" API
Dear RIPE Atlas community, last week we enabled a new feature that quite a few people had an interest in: an API that lets you get up to 10 most recent results of any measurement: https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/measurement-latest-api/ We wrote an article with more details: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-atlas-latest-result... From the article: "This new feature could come in useful in a number of different situations, such as: - Creating a widget for a website that monitors a specific result in near real time, such as ping results from 100 probes around the world toward your own website - Monitoring your network by setting up an alert based on the average measurement result from the past hour - Staying aware of a major network event, such as an Internet outage in a certain region - DNS monitoring of your own domain, with configurable measurements using 10 RIPE Atlas anchors - Prototyping a script using RIPE Atlas data" Please let us know if you find other creative uses for this new API! If you develop custom code for configuring the results of this API, please share it at the GitHub RIPE Atlas Community repository: https://github.com/RIPE-Atlas-Community/ripe-atlas-community-contrib We would love to hear your success stories! Regards, Vesna
