# Resolved abuse contact (RIPE-563) for an IP / prefix / ASN

`GET /api/v1/network/abuse-contact/{resource}`

The single resolved abuse contact for a resource via the RIPE Database abuse-contact resolver (policy RIPE-563): it walks the abuse-c -> role -> abuse-mailbox chain (and up the allocation hierarchy) and returns one email. By default also returns an independent RIPEstat abuse-contact-finder cross-check with an `agrees` flag. include_irt=true additionally surfaces the IRT / CSIRT object(s) registered for the resource (whois 'c' flag); empty when no incident-response team is registered.
