[ncc-services-wg] Using API Keys To Access (Private) LIR Portal Data Locally

Dear colleagues,

There have been many requests from the membership to provide a way to access private LIR data that is not locked into the LIR Portal web interface. This is especially relevant for larger LIRs who have to manage a large amount of IP address space.

In order to offer our members better local access to our tools and data sets, it is now possible to create API access keys in the LIR Portal. The keys can be used to grant applications and scripts access to your (private) LIR data. The information will be fetched securely over HTTPS and can be used in your IP address management tools, for example.

You can read more about it in this article on RIPE Labs:

We hope you appreciate this functionality and look forward to your feedback.

Kind regards,

Alex Band
Product Manager
