# Data Sources
|
|
|
|
PeerCortex aggregates network intelligence from six data sources. Each source provides unique data that is combined to create a comprehensive picture.
|
|
|
|
## Source Overview
|
|
|
|
| Source | Data Provided | API Type | Auth Required | Rate Limits |
|
|
|--------|--------------|----------|---------------|-------------|
|
|
| PeeringDB | Network info, IXs, facilities, contacts | REST API v2 | Optional (API key) | 60 req/min (anonymous), higher with key |
|
|
| RIPE Stat | BGP state, prefixes, visibility, RPKI | REST API | No (source app ID recommended) | Fair use policy |
|
|
| bgp.he.net | Peers, upstreams, downstreams, prefixes | HTML scraping | No | Be respectful |
|
|
| Route Views | Global routing table, path diversity | Via RIPE Stat | No | Via RIPE Stat limits |
|
|
| IRR (RIPE DB) | Route objects, as-sets, WHOIS | REST + WHOIS | No | Fair use policy |
|
|
| RPKI | ROA validation, VRP list | REST API | No | Depends on validator |
|
|
