[db-wg] Fw: parms for simple answer

 Hi Randy

You can also use the restful API described here:https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/db/support/documentation/ripe-database-documentation/how-to-query-the-ripe-database/14-3-restful-api-queries

for your specific query it returns this:

denis$ curl 'http://rest.db.ripe.net/ripe/inetnum/147.28.0.0/16?unfiltered'
