Why not use traceroutes from by atlas probes? RIPE Atlas has a 
scriptable API interface (required, you have the necessary RIPE Atlas 
credits! Alternatively, look into if hosting an Atlas Anchor might be of 
relevance for you use case)

You can map the IP addresses to ASN's in the traceroute path. Source 
probes can be selected to be located in a specific source ASN, too.
