RIPE Database registry whois (global via GRS)

Raw RPSL registry objects for an IP, prefix, ASN, organisation-id, or free-text handle/name, straight from the RIPE Database (rest.db.ripe.net) - the authoritative registry, not the RIPEstat aggregate. Defaults to source=global, which fans one query across all five RIRs via the GRS mirrors (plus the live RIPE source and ripe-nonauth) so a resource in any region resolves; narrow to a single source (ripe, ripe-nonauth, arin-grs, apnic-grs, lacnic-grs, afrinic-grs, ripe-grs, radb-grs, jpirr-grs) when you want one registry's view. Object type is inferred from the resource (ASN->aut-num, ORG-id->organisation, IP/prefix->inet[6]num).

resourcestring required

IP / prefix / ASN / ORG-id / handle.

sourcestring

Upstream registry: 'global' (all RIRs, default) | ripe | ripe-nonauth | <rir>-grs.

limitinteger

Max objects returned.

preferstring

Serving preference for the W7 local graph: 'local' (serve local for RIPE-region-scoped queries with live fallback, default) | 'live' (force the live RIPE Database). See _meta.served_from. Only by-key lookups in the v1 graph set (aut-num, organisation) scoped to source=ripe/ripe-nonauth serve local; global/GRS queries and IP/prefix covering-object lookups stay live in v1 (the graph is RIPE-region-only).
