What it is and what it does
peeringdb is a Python client for the PeeringDB API, which maintains a public database of internet peering information including autonomous systems (ASNs), networks, and internet exchange points. It wraps HTTP calls to PeeringDB's REST API through httpx and provides a Pythonic interface for developers to query peering infrastructure data programmatically.
The package is aimed at network operators, system administrators, and developers working with BGP routing and internet peering. It depends on django-peeringdb, confu, munge, pyyaml, and twentyc-rpc to handle configuration, data transformation, and RPC communication. The library is actively maintained, supports Python 3.10 through 3.14, and carries no known security vulnerabilities.
Use it for
- Query ASN details and network information for BGP route analysis and peering decisions.
- Automate discovery of internet exchange points and peering facilities in a given region.
- Build network topology tools that pull live peering data from PeeringDB.
- Integrate peering information into network monitoring or configuration management systems.
- Validate ASN and network ownership during network provisioning workflows.
