27. Widget API
• Embeddable on location in any HTML website
• Purely based on Javascript and HTML(5)
• Data fetched directly from data API via JSON(P)
• Input data configuration defines content
• Customizable layout (visible elements, size)
• Manipulation of the Widget after rendering (reload(), get_data(), etc)
via scripting

28. RIPEstat Data API
• RESTful interface over HTTP
• Can return RIPEstat data in various formats (JSON, YAML)
- Let us know if you’d like other formats
• Used by the Widgets, data is fetched directly by the browser
• Simple example:
‣ http://stat.ripe.net/plugin/whats-my-ip/data.json
{
"cached": false,
"data": {
"ip": "2001:67c:2e8:13:223:6cff:fe8d:388c"
},
"messages": [],
"query_id": 11057,
"status": "ok",
"status_code": 200,
"version": "0.1"
}
