Subject: [arin-announce] Whois-RWS Released 17 July 2010
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.
