RDAPPER(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation RDAPPER(1)

rdapper - a command-line RDAP client.

rdapper is a command-line client for the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP), the successor protocol to Whois (RFC 3912). RDAP is currently being developed by the WEIRDS IETF working group, and has not yet been finalized.

This tool will send an RDAP query to an RDAP server over HTTP or HTTPS, parse the JSON response, and display it in human-readable form.

To install this program type the following commands in the source directory:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make install

    rdapper [OPTIONS] QUERY

--host=HOST (default: rdap.org)
Specify the host to query. If not set, rdapper uses "rdap.org" (see below).
--TYPE=TYPE
Specify the type of object being queried. Possible values are: "domain", "entity" (also "contact"), "nameserver" (also "host"), "autnum" and "ip". rdapper will detect IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and CIDR networks and AS numbers, and will fall back to domain queries for everything else.
--follow
Instructs rdapper to follow links to retrieve full entity information.
--links
Display URIs for referenced objects.
--path=PATH
Specify a JSONPath query. Any elements in the response which match this path will be printed in JSON format.

See below for details of JSONPath.

--tls
Force use of TLS.
--insecure
Disable server certificate checking and hostname verification.
--username=USERNAME
Specify a username to be used with Basic Authentication.
--password=PASSWORD
Specify a password to be used with Basic Authentication.

Note: if the initial request is redirected, authentication credentials will be sent in the subsequent request to the target server, so users should consider whether these credentials might be disclosed inappropriately.

--cert=CERTIFICATE
Specify a client SSL certificate to present to the server.
--key=KEY
Specify a private key matching the certificate given in "--cert".
--keypass=PASSPHRASE
Specify a passphrase to decrypt the private key given by "--key".
--raw
Causes rdapper to emit pretty-printed JSON rather than text output.
--debug
Causes rdapper to display the HTTP request and response rather than the text output.
--lang=LANGUAGE
Specify a language. This is sent to the server using the "Accept-Language" header. If unset, the language will be taken from your $LANG environment variable (or "en" if that is not defined).
--encoding=ENCODING
Specify an encoding. This is sent to the server using the "Accept-Encoding" header. If unset, the encoding will be taken from your $LANG environment variable (or "UTF-8" if that is not defined).

You can use JSONPath to specify a subset of the complete response. JSONPath is an XPath-like syntax for querying JSON structures. The following are examples of JSONPath queries:

        $.handle                # the handle of an object
        $.nameServers[0].name   # the name of a domain's first nameserver
        $.entities[0].emails[0] # the first email address of an object's first entity
        $.nameServers..name     # the names of every nameserver

For a full explanation of the available syntax, see the link below.

Unless instructed otherwise (via the "--host" argument), rdapper will send all queries to rdap.org: this server is an aggregator of RDAP services, and will provide an HTTP redirect to the appropriate service where available.
