Importing PeeringDB Info
Yo-Robinson opened this issue · comments
It seems that IXP Manager is not importing the email addresses/contact details from PeeringDB. This was usually imported as I recall that I had a discussion with PeeringDB regarding the email address fields being imported.
Please can we ensure that the contact details for "NOC" pulls to the correct field and perhaps import the details for "Policy" to the "Email" field under Peering Details on IXP Manager. Policy seems to be the relevant peering email on PeeringDB for networks.
Hi @Yo-Robinson
It appears PeeringDB are no longer providing this information in the API request. E.g. see:
https://www.peeringdb.com/api/net.json?asn=8075
This is the case whether authenticated or unauthenticated so far as I can see.
This information used to be provided with authenticated URLs and IXP Manager will use the information if provided.
Please refer to PeeringDB.
Also, to add, I think the provision by PeeringDB of these emails (in your screenshots) to unauthenticated users is new (at least new since I wrote the IXP Manager code some years ago at least!). I don't know if it's a bug or on purpose. Seems like they shouldn't have these emails available to unauthenticated users - maybe something worth mentioning / querying.
