Dear Tim,

We will fix the broken links in the documentation ASAP. Until then you can remove the "_-source-" part from any broken URLs to make it work, so for the create operation it should be:

https://rest.db.ripe.net/api-doc/path__create.html

We're glad that you chose to use the REST service and really appreciate that you're reporting any issues you encounter. The services and new features we add are there for you so it's crucial that they work and are easy to use. Your feedback is important to the operation of the Database and in the case of the REST service it's even more so since we made it a production service just a week ago.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this.

I hate to be a pest, but it appears as though the documentation at that URL is providing some broken links. Case in point, the link to "create" under "Update Services" points to a 404 at https://rest.db.ripe.net/api-doc/path__create_-source-.html .

I'd love to be able to use the new APIs, but without appropriate documentation it will be difficult to migrate my application.

Thanks,

Dear Tim,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The issue is now fixed and was caused by a misconfigured proxy.

Kind regards,

It would be nice if this could be fixed. Thanks.
