You can summarize all the IP ranges of a particular ASN using a combination of the paid [IPinfo ASN API](https://ipinfo.io/products/asn-api) service, the [IPinfo CLI](https://github.com/ipinfo/cli) and [JQ](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/).

> This can also be done with our free IP to ASN database. If you are interested, please let me know! I will provide instructions as well.

This summary operation is interesting because it will show you the actual IP range locations of a particular ASN instead of the advertised ones in their WHOIS data. It also provides a bird’s eye view of the IP metadata of a particular ASN.

```auto
curl ipinfo.io/AS152586?token=$token | jq -r .prefixes[].netblock | ipinfo summarize

```

Hi Abdullah,

I would be interested in instructions of how to summarise the IP ranges for an ASN using the free IP to ASN Database.

Many Thanks

Hi,

I really appreciate the request 🙂 Thank you.

> [In my previous post](https://community.ipinfo.io/t/summarizing-all-the-ip-ranges-of-an-asn/5550/), I described how I use our [ASN API service](https://ipinfo.io/products/asn-api) to get the IP ranges of an ASN and then subsequently summarize those ranges to get an overview of the ASN. It is a super easy and powerful operation that is useful for us in discovering interesting servers for our [ProbeNet](https://ipinfo.io/blog/probe-network-how-we-make-sure-our-data-is-accurate/), and it can be used for threat intelligence, OSINT, and network administration tasks. However, one thing to point out is that the [ASN API](https://ipinfo.io/products/asn-api) comes with a lot of features and is a [paid service](https://ipinfo.io/pricing). Fo…

I just finished writing it, so apologies for the typos and mistakes. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
