<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">it's generally very convenient, my only issue is that for repeated measurements (not one-off) it's not easy to get the queries that have been executed in a certain
time frame. You have to parse the results from the start of the measurement and get those executed between the desired time frame by checking its result separately, which is slow (at least I haven't found a better way!)</span></div>

So having some sort of metadata dumps makes it faster to go through the queries that have been executed in a certain period. I guess another alternative is to download the traces dumps but here the bottleneck is the download time even for a period of 1 day.</div>

Hello,<br>
<br>
<a href="https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/?id__lte=1000000">https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/?id__lte=1000000</a> is a pretty<br>
good approximation of what you're after. Built-ins change very rarely,<br>
so a one-time query will give you virtually everything about built-ins.<br>
<br>
Note that the above mentioned full dump of measurement metadata via FTP<br>
is not sustainable (in its current form it's growing endlessly) so we'll<br>
highly likely to change this in the near future.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Robert<br>
