Bill,

Whois-RWS does not use API KEYs at present, it is a read-only service with public data. Inclusion of the apikey parameter may be causing the problem, though I can't reproduce your issue.

However, I think you want to use the registration restful web service (Reg-RWS). At present it is at www.arin.net and requires https (e.g. https://www.arin.net/rest/poc/POCHANDLE?apikey=API-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX). You can verify your API KEY via ARIN Online. Also note that Reg-RWS only allows access to your resources; that is the resources with which your ARIN Online user account has been linked to via POCs.

I hope this is helpful information and answers your question.
Andy Newton,
ARIN Chief Engineer
