# RIPE Atlas Tools (Magellan)

The official command-line client for RIPE Atlas.

# Why This Exists

RIPE Atlas is a powerful Internet measurements platform that until recently was only accessible via the website and the RESTful API. The reality however is that a great many people using RIPE Atlas are most comfortable on the command-line, so this project is an attempt to fill that gap.
