I would second Rob’s suggestion - by far the best option - you receive the routes the moment anything changes rather than having to download them manually or on a cron script.

I would recommend that unless you have an environment that cannot support that, instead
of the encap file you use the RIP broadcasts with the program ampr-ripd.  It keeps the
routing table uptodate without regular file downloads and it can write an encap.txt file
when you require that for some purpose (and which you can use as a backup when the RIP
broadcasts are down for some reason)

Hello,

If I use the line from the Wiki below in order to retrieve the file via API (and convert it back to the text forma), I get a parsing error - presumably from jq.  If I download only the file taking jq out of the equation, it's not a json file, but rather, a HTML file.  I assume that's why there's a parsing error when jq reads it. Is the info from the Wiki out of date?

Thanks,
