I'm fine with being held accountable to a daily limit ( I don't on board that many new accounts anyway per day ), however the main issue is now I no longer know of a way to get the email addresses ( and I guess be held accountable to a daily limit ) from something that looks ”machine readable” ( aka whois or RDAP )
Is there some kind of magic flag I can pass into the RDAP system to get personal data and be held against a limit? I'm not sure I know of a way also to get the email addresses out of the whois interface either, meaning I am simply left with scraping the website (something I really don't want to do) On Fri, Jan 5, 2024 at 10:38 AM Miguel Herran <[email protected]> wrote: > > Good Afternoon Ben, > > > This change was made as part of 1.109 release.
