IPv6DB

A RESTful Web service for IPv6-related data

IPv6DB is a RESTful microservice using Redis as backend to store lists of IPv6 addresses and attach to each of them any valuable data in a schema-free valid JSON value. Each resource can be permanent or TTLed.

IPv6 adresses canonization

All input IPv6 addresses are formatted on the fly and stored according to RFC 5952.

Fast

IPv6DB is written in Haskell, and built upon Warp, a high-performance HTTP server.

GitHub

IPv6DB is an Open Source project.

A resource example

GET /ipv6db/v1/list/black/addresses/abcd::1234
{
  "list": "black",
  "address": "abcd::1234",
  "ttl": 34582,
