# SYNTHORA RIPEstat Prefix / IP Routing Overview

> SYNTHORA RIPEstat Prefix / IP Routing Overview is a paid API for AI agents from ripestat-prefix-overview.hergertsynthora.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns announcing ASNs, holder info, covering prefixes, and routing status for a given IP address or CIDR prefix via RIPEstat.

## Facts

- Endpoint: POST https://ripestat-prefix-overview.hergertsynthora.com/service
- Price: $0.001/call
- Payment: x402

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability synthora-ripestat-prefix-ip-routing-overview-e4f880c8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the routing overview for 8.8.8.0/24 and tell me which ASN is announcing it, who the holder is, and whether there are any covering prefixes?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured BGP routing intelligence — specifically the originating ASN, holder, RIR, and covering prefix hierarchy for an IP or CIDR — sourced directly from RIPEstat. It is ideal for hijack-detection agents, threat intelligence pipelines, and network ownership verification workflows where authoritative RIR-backed data is required, and you want to avoid screen-scraping or building your own RIPEstat integration.

## Known failure modes

- Unannounced or unrouted prefix returns null for ASN, holder, and status fields
- Invalid or malformed CIDR/IP input may return an error or empty result
- RIPEstat upstream outage causes fetch failure
- Very new or withdrawn prefixes may have stale or missing data
- IPv6 prefixes may have incomplete holder information

## How this service works

Returns the announcing ASNs, holder, less-specific covering prefixes and announced status for an IP or CIDR from RIPEstat. A2A use: routing-intelligence and hijack-detection agents identify which AS originates a prefix and detect unexpected origins. First 3 calls FREE per wallet — send header X-WALLET: 0x<addr>. No charge on upstream failure.

## Output

A JSON object containing the originating ASN number and name, holder, RIR, country, prefix announcement status, block info (type, holder, description, status, country), and a list of related or less-specific covering prefixes for the queried IP or CIDR.
