Summary Data

(this feature is in development)

One of the benefits of RDAP is the formal definition of data from registries. However, since RDAP supports multiple types of registries, some items of information can be represented in multiple ways making programmatic use of that information difficult.

To make this information easier to obtain, NicInfo has a feature called "summary information". This feature places a JSON object in the root of IP network, autnum, nameserver, domain, and entity lookups named nicinfo_summary_data. This JSON object contains up to 10 properties of information commonly sought through RDAP queries.

  "nicinfo_summary_data": {
    "service_operator": "apnic.net",
    "listed_name": "John Gibbins ( JG651-AP )",
    "abuse_email": "abuse@csiro.au",
    "last_changed_date": "Wed, 30 Aug 2017 07:19:11 -0000",
    "listed_country": "AU",
    "CIDRs": [
      "192.149.36.0/24"
    ]
  }

The following properties may be present in the object, depending on the availability of the information from the RDAP query and the type of query conducted.

• service_operator - usually the domain name of the RDAP server from where the information was derived. This is obtained from the self link of the object returned in the RDAP response.
• listed_name - the name of the registrant of the object if one is given, else the name of the administrative contact, else the name of the technical contact.
• listed_country - the country found in the jCard of the registrant of the object if one is given, else the country of the administrative contact, else the country of the technical contact. For IP network and autnum queries, if no country can be found in the contacts and a country is given in the object, then that country is used.
• abuse_email - the email address of the abuse contact if one is given.
• registration_date - the registration date of the object if one is given.
• expiration_date - the expiration date of the object if one is given.
• last_changed_date - the last changed date of the object if one is given.
• CIDRs - for IP network objects, an array where each element is a CIDR block of IP addresses.
• nameservers - for domain objects, an array containing the ldhName (letters-digits-hyphens) of each nameserver given.
• registrar - for domain objects, the name of the domain registrar if one is given.
