You're right, with the corrected parameters, it works fine...  I guess
it's bad luck that I made a mistake in each of my two attempts.

This is till in beta, url’s for the documentation will change but it will be available then be linked from https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/ <https://atlas.ripe.net/docs/>
