Cloudflare Worker to Generate IX-F Data for the IXDB

WORKER: IXF

---

This repository contains code used for automatically generating Euro-IX/IXDB-compliant participant data.

How it Works

Upon execution, the Cloudflare worker pulls data from the 48 IX participant database such as the participant name, ASN, and port speed. Taking the ASN, the worker queries the PeeringDB REST API for additional information about a participant, such as their peering policy, contacts, IRR macro, etc. All the data is combined into an IXDB-compliant schema for easy processing by IXDB and anyone else seeking to consume the data in the IXDB format.

The data is cached by Cloudflare for 12 hours. Upon a cache-miss, the data is re-pulled and re-cached for another 12 hours.
