Matt,

I'm glad that 1.4.1 helps.


To answer your larger question, I don't think you are overlooking anything. 
Perhaps the largest issue will come from jCard, which is the JSON equivalent of 
vCard. The IETF specified its use in RDAP to solve some internationalization 
problems, but with that flexibility comes some complications.


I am looking at new features for NicInfo that I hope will help with the problem 
you have described. I'll keep you informed as to that progress.

Hi Andy

version 1.4.1 resolves the issues I was having with --json and --jv. Thanks for 
fixing this so quickly.

The issue for me now is identifying a common set of fields across registry 
records that contain the information I want. The start and end IP addresses 
seem common and easy to extract. However, registration dates and organization 
information appear to me to be a bit more scattered in the records, so I'm not 
sure how to consistently extract the same information across records. Is this  
in fact the situation or am I overlooking something?

Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,


I have pushed 1.4.1 of the NicInfo gem which I believes fixes the --json and 
--jv features.

Please let me know if you have any further issues or questions.

Thanks for your input.

Hi Andy

Thanks for the detailed reply. I look forward to hearing from you when you have 
an update on either topic.

Thanks

Hi Martin,


It would appear that the --json and --jv options have a bug where they output 
in Ruby form and not JSON.

I put a bug in the issue tracker to note this: 
https://github.com/arineng/nicinfo/issues/32

The fix is probably simple, and I'll dig into it as soon as I am able.

With regard to a delimited file with a set of fields, I am currently in the 
process of adding new features that might accomplish what you are after. 
However, it has required refactoring of a great deal of the code and the 
progress is a bit slow. I'll keep you apprised of the progress.

Thanks
Andy Newton,
Chief Engineer, ARIN

Subject: [arin-tech-discuss] How to extract specific information from RDAP

Hi

I would like to extract some specific information about IP address allocations 
(e.g., startAddress, endAddress, handle, organization name, organization 
contact, last update date) in a systematic way. If I use nicinfo manually, I 
usually see the information I want. When I try to retrieve the same information 
ifrom nicinfo's JSON format or via nicinfo's  --jv options, I'm running into a 
variety of problems. I expect I'm doing something wrong. If anyone could offer 
any tips on how to a) determine the most common fields in RDAP records for IP 
address range allocations (including the corresponding organization 
information)  and b) how to most efficiently produce a delimited file of 
selected fields from a set of RDAP queries I would really appreciate it.

Thanks
Martin
