Consultation on Reg-RWS Improvements
Posted: Tuesday, 03 December 2024
ACSP/Surveys
ARIN is seeking feedback from the community on a potential improvement to the RESTful API used to manage registration records, known as Reg-RWS. Specifically, we received a community suggestion to create a RESTful API method to determine the most specific NET object for a range.
The stated benefit of this potential improvement is that it would allow a user to bootstrap functionality based on knowing a problematic IP address and learning more about it (delegation, Points of Contact, etc.).
ARIN has two distinct RESTful web services, Reg-RWS and Whois-RWS. Currently, there is a most specific network query available using Whois-RWS.
(https://www.arin.net/resources/registry/whois/rws/api/#ip-addresses-and-networks)
We are seeking community input on whether the existing services meet community needs, or if ARIN should spend resources to duplicate the functionality from Whois-RWS into Reg-RWS.
Please provide comments to arin-consult@arin.net. You can subscribe to this mailing list at https://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-consult.
This consultation will remain open until 5:00 PM ET on 20 December 2024. ARIN seeks clear direction through community input, so your feedback is important.
Thank you for your continued support to improve ARIN’s services.
Regards,
John Curran
President and CEO
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
