Greetings,<br>
<br>
I apologize if this has been addressed in a previous thread. <br>
<br>
I am working on reconciling some information between a local
database and what has been registered with the ARIN RESTful API. The
problem I'm coming across though is in the case of detailed
reassignments. Where the 'net' has been reassigned to an 'org', I
can do absolutely nothing other than 'delete' the reassignment; even
simple 'get' requests are failing with an HTTP 401.<br>
<br>
This would make sense if the restriction on these objects was
global. However, I am able to access the objects just the same using
the WHOIS search form at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://whois.arin.net">http://whois.arin.net</a>.<br>
<br>
It would make sense if further reassignments or allocations on these
objects was restricted once they were reassigned, but it is my
belief that if it's available via the public search tools, it should
also be available in the API. I really don't want to have to modify
my application to use both APIs in this case.<br>
<br>
If there is no documented business rule for this restriction, could
we please get it lifted?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
