Getting Started

What is the MANRS Observatory?

The MANRS Observatory tracks routing security hygiene for Autonomous Systems (ASes) across the internet. It ingests BGP archives, RPKI repositories, IRR databases, incident feeds, and other sources, then computes daily MANRS conformance scores for each ASN. Results are accessible via a REST API and an interactive web dashboard.

Data Collected

• BGP / RIS: Route announcements from RIPE RIS peers
• RPKI: Route Origin Authorizations from all five RIRs
• IRR: Route objects from AFRINIC, APNIC, RADB, RIPE, and others
• GRIP: BGP hijacking and route leak incidents
• Bogons: M3/M4 bogon prefix/ASN announcements
• Spoofer: IP spoofing measurement events (CAIDA SPOOFER)
• WHOIS / PeeringDB: Contact validity per ASN across all RIRs
• ROV: Route Origin Validation filter rates by country/ASN
• NRO: Numeric resource allocations and assignments

MANRS Conformance Scoring

Each ASN is scored monthly across the following metrics:

Metric	Description
M1	Route leaks (detection not yet sourced)
M2	Route misoriginations / hijacks (GRIP)
M3 / M4	Bogon prefix / bogon ASN announcements
M5	Anti-spoofing (CAIDA Spoofer)
M7IRR / M7RPKI	Announced routes registered in IRR / valid ROAs
M8	Contact information (Coordination)
M9	RPKI deployment

See Conformance Scores for how these roll up into category scores.

Using the API

The REST API is available at /api/v2/. Interactive documentation is served at /api/v2/docs.

Authentication

All endpoints that require authentication accept an API key via the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>

API keys can be generated from the Observatory web interface.
