A more standardized alternative to Whois

The Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) is an alternative to WHOIS for accessing Internet resource registration data. RDAP is designed to address a number of shortcomings in the existing Whois service. The most important changes are:

  • Redirection capabilities to allow seamless referrals to other registries

Read more about the origin and reasons behind this work and the history of Whois in the APNIC News article, "The Future of Whois", May 2012.
