We have corrected the issues that impacted the first release and are now able to bring you the following services that provide the general public with access to ARIN's registration data: * a RESTful Web Service (RWS) * a NICNAME/WHOIS port 43 service * a user-friendly web site (http://whois.arin.net) When using the Whois-RWS you will notice some differences in behavior for certain queries and corresponding result sets on the NICNAME/WHOIS port 43 service. The detailed documentation on these differences has been updated and is now available at: https://www.arin.net/resources/whoisrws/whois_diff.html ARIN?s Directory Service for registration data has used the NICNAME/WHOIS protocol since its inception. The limitations of the NICNAME/WHOIS protocol are well known and documented in RFC3912. Whois-RWS was created as an alternative to the ARIN Whois and will provide much richer functionality and capability to the community. ARIN continues to welcome community participation on the Whois-RWS mailing list, and we invite you to subscribe and share your experience and feedback about the new service: http://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-whoisrws Regards, Mark Kosters Chief Technical Officer American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) From info at arin.net Mon Jul 19 13:27:32 2010 From: info at arin.net (Member Services) Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:27:32 -0400 Subject: [arin-announce] Whois-RWS Released 17 July 2010 Message-ID: <4C448B04.3010605@arin.net> ARIN is pleased to announce the release of Whois-RWS. ARIN?s Whois RESTful Web Service (Whois-RWS) is the directory service for accessing registration data contained within ARIN?s registration database. Whois-RWS provides several improvements over ARIN?s previous Whois service. Whois-RWS can easily be integrated into command line scripts similar to Whois or RWhois, or it can be accessed with a web browser. For those who rely on existing scripts and clients, ARIN will continue to maintain services for the NICNAME/WHOIS protocol on TCP/43. This is achieved by using a proxy service to translate traditional ARIN Whois queries into Whois-RWS queries. View service differences, a Whois-RWS FAQ, and API documentation at: https://www.arin.net/resources/whoisrws/ Important details on other features in development can be found at: https://www.arin.net/features/ Please send any questions, comments, or issues to: hostmaster at arin.net.
