apnic_whois_query
Query the APNIC WHOIS database to retrieve complete object information in RPSL format for detailed analysis of network resources in the Asia-Pacific region.
Instructions
Perform raw WHOIS queries against the APNIC database to get complete object information in RPSL format. This tool is specifically for the APNIC RIR (Asia-Pacific region - East Asia, Oceania, South Asia, Southeast Asia). Use ONLY when you need full object details or administrative data from APNIC. DO NOT use for contact information - use apnic_contact_card for abuse, NOC, admin, or tech contacts. DO NOT use for route validation - use apnic_validate_route_object for checking if route objects exist. DO NOT use for AS-SET expansion - use apnic_expand_as_set for getting ASN lists. This returns raw APNIC database records with all attributes for detailed analysis.
