Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) Query Format
draft-ietf-regext-rfc7482bis-03
Abstract
This document describes uniform patterns to construct HTTP URLs that
may be used to retrieve registration information from registries
(including both Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and Domain Name
Registries (DNRs)) using "RESTful" web access patterns. These
uniform patterns define the query syntax for the Registration Data
Access Protocol (RDAP). If approved, this document obsoletes RFC
7482.
