Non-Profit Arts Organization Seeking Credit Donations

Hello All, My name is Ari Broad and I am the IT Director for a non-profit arts organization called The American Dance Competition, Inc. (www.adcibc.com). We have expanded our organization internationally and I need to do performance checks on the website in various countries abroad to ensure the site is working for international users as we recently found out our site is blocked in Mainland China, so I am doing my due diligence with other countries where we are touring. I have created a python script that will do this checking process for us (versus doing it manually through online tools which is time-consuming) that utilizes RIPE-Atlas, but it will not work because I have 0 credits on my account. I see that you have to contribute to the probes in order to get credits, I would love to contribute for science, but I do not have a desktop I could host this on. I reached out to RIPE-Atlas help and they suggested I reach out to this mailing list to ask for credit donations. *Here is a list of the tests I am attempting to run:*In these countries: JP,ES,DE,SE,DK,CH,GB,IT,CA,FR,NL,PL Run measurements on 3 ASNs per country. That's *36 site performance measurements. * I am not sure what the credit currency exchange is like, but if we could get enough credits to run these tests that'd be great. *But truly any amount of credits will help!* *If you have any amount of credits you would like to donate to us for our international site performance checks please send them to the recipient: adcibc.tech@gmail.com <adcibc.tech@gmail.com> * Thank you in advance for any donations we may receive. Best, *Ari Broad, M.S.* *(she/her)* IT Director ADC|IBC www.adcibc.com

Sure, but there are already existing tools (even in Python). https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-tools https://framagit.org/bortzmeyer/blaeu

15M sent. Good luck and keep on dancing! -Michael On Wed, Sep 3, 2025 at 2:09 PM Stephane Bortzmeyer via ripe-atlas < ripe-atlas@ripe.net> wrote:

happy to help - but what's your rough guesstimation of the amount of credits you would need for your measurements? Cheers, -C.
