Some time back it was brought up to have a whois server or something like that. I bet I can guess the status of that.
Steve, Yeah I am just waiting on access to the API that I requested on Jun 19th last year, so that I can run daily queries to gather all the information I need to fully populate the rwhois server that I built a long time ago. Other then that the rwhois server has been working great.
Tim, if you’re waiting on access to the API why have you not chased me for it? FYI, the API is fully documented on the Portal, and access to the API is available to anyone who has an account on the Portal, so tbh I am not sure what you are waiting for, but making comments such as above on this mailing list is not particularly helpful.
I don't recall the details of Tim's request last year, but as far as I can tell the portal API does not have an endpoint that contains all the data needed for an rwhois server. You would need all of the allocated networks, not just those with an IPIP gateway in the encap file.
Coincidentally, this is the same portal API feature I requested on 21 December 2015.
