Search bgp.tools for Autonomous Systems and prefixes by keyword
Search for networks by keyword — the entry point for finding an organization's Autonomous Systems and prefixes by name. Returns a mixed list of matching ASNs and prefixes, each tagged with its type (asn or prefix), the AS number or prefix CIDR, the name/description, and country. By default only announced networks are returned; set `include_not_announced` to also surface allocations that are not currently in the routing table. Use to discover which ASNs and address blocks belong to a company.
access-token string requiredtimeout integer — Max scrapping execution timeout (in seconds) (default: 300; min: 20; max: 1500)q string required — Keyword to search for across AS names and prefix descriptions (minLength: 1)include_not_announced boolean — Also include networks and prefixes that are not currently announced in BGP (default: false)count integer required — Max number of results to return (min: 1)@type string (default: "BgptoolsSearchResult")result_type string required (one of: "asn", "prefix")asn integer nullableprefix string nullablename string nullablecountry string nullable422 — The request body did not validate Check the fields against this schema. A URN with the wrong prefix is the most common cause.408 — The request ran past its time limit Raise `timeout` in the request body, up to the maximum this endpoint documents. Lowering `count` or turning off the `with_*` flags also helps, because less work finishes sooner.412 — The entity was not found, or a precondition failed Retrying will not help: either the entity does not exist, or the input points at a different one.429 — Too many requests: a rate limit or a usage window is exhausted When the response carries an X-Retry-After header, wait that many seconds and retry: the same number is in the body as `detail.retry_after`, and the limit clears once that window passes. The message in the body names the limit that was hit.500 — Something broke on our side Retrying will not help. If it keeps happening, send us the X-Request-ID from the response headers.529 — Rate limit reached, or the endpoint is overloaded Wait at least 30 seconds, then retry.X-Error — Error message text (present only on error)X-Request-ID — Unique request identifierX-Execution-Time — Execution time in secondsX-Result-Count — How many records the body carries. 0 means an empty result, which is a normal answer and not by itself an error. A non-zero count can come back together with X-Error when the failure happened partway through — read this header and X-Error independently.X-Total-Available-Results — How many records exist for this query, when the endpoint can say. On a `dry_run` request this is the answer and the body is empty. It saturates: the endpoint's documented maximum means 'at least that many', any smaller number is exact.X-Warning — Present when the request body carried keys this endpoint does not document. They were ignored, so any filter you meant to apply through them did not apply. Check the spelling against this schema and retry.X-Retry-After — Seconds to wait before retrying. Present only on 429.
