An example is given below:</div><div class=""><a href="https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?country_code=BG&tags=system-v3,datacentre&is_public=true&status_name=Abandoned" class="">https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?country_code=BG&tags=system-v3,datacentre&is_public=true&status_name=Abandoned</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">8 results were returned containing probes that are abandoned, as well disconnected and connected.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">To nail down the problematic field, I tried following queries:</div><div class=""><div class=""><a href="https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?status_name=Connected" class="">https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?status_name=Connected</a></div><div class=""><a href="https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?status_name=Abandoned" class="">https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?status_name=Abandoned</a></div></div><div class=""><a href="https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?status_name=Disconnected" class="">https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?status_name=Disconnected</a></div><div class=""><a href="https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?status_name=Haha" class="">https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v1/probe/?status_name=Haha</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Exactly same number of probes, 16889, are return with each of these quests, which makes me wonder whether the status_name filed is actually taken into consideration?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">One other issue, is to negatively select probes according to some fields, especially tags filed, for example, probes do not contain home tag.</div><div class="">I’d like to know if such selection logic is supported by v1 API? If yes, how to compose the query? If not, would it be considered in v2 API?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">A bunch of thanks in advance.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regards,</div><div class="">Wenqin</div><div class="">Telecom ParisTech</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
