Here is an asynchronous version of a Python client so you can do other things while waiting for updates. (In that case, we just display a timestamp.) #!/usr/bin/env python3 PERIOD = 5 RFC3339 = '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ' import sys import json import time import asyncio # https://websockets.readthedocs.io/ import websockets class RISliveWebsocket(): def __init__(self, router, asn): self.router = router self.asn = asn async def __aenter__(self): self._conn = await websockets.connect("wss://ris-live.ripe.net/v1/ws/?client=asynchronous-python-script-by-me") opening = json.dumps({"type": "ris_subscribe", "data": {"host": self.router, "path": self.asn}}) await self._conn.send(opening) print("Connected, %s sent" % opening) return self async def __aexit__(self, *args, **kwargs): print("Goodbye") pass async def send(self, message): await self._conn.send(message) async def receive(self): print("Trying to receive") return await self._conn.recv() async def tick(): while True: await asyncio.sleep(PERIOD) print("Waking up, it is %s" % time.strftime(RFC3339, time.gmtime(time.time()))) async def main(router, asn): sock = RISliveWebsocket(router, asn) async with sock as feed: while True: print(await feed.receive()) if __name__ == '__main__': if len(sys.argv) != 3: print("Usage: %s RIS-router ASn" % sys.argv[0], file=sys.stderr) sys.exit(1) try: loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait([main(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2]), tick()])) except KeyboardInterrupt: pass # Does not call __aexit__?

Please also note the lightning talk by Jared Mauch at the recent NANOG 757 meeting: https://pc.nanog.org/static/published/meetings/NANOG75/1955/20190219_Mauch_Lightning_Talk_Ris_v1.pdf

If I am using the BGP alerter, how can turn any router output (information) like RIS feed ? Do RIPE have scripts to turn the output into RIS feed from Cisco IOS XR and JUNIPER JUNOS ?
