arin_whois_query
Query the ARIN database to retrieve complete object information in RPSL format for domains, IP addresses, or ASNs in North America, providing full administrative data and detailed records for analysis.
Instructions
Perform raw WHOIS queries against the ARIN database to get complete object information in RPSL format. This tool is specifically for the ARIN RIR (North America region - United States, Canada, parts of Caribbean). Use ONLY when you need full object details or administrative data from ARIN. DO NOT use for contact information - use arin_contact_card for abuse, NOC, admin, or tech contacts. DO NOT use for route validation - use arin_validate_route_object for checking if route objects exist. DO NOT use for AS-SET expansion - use arin_expand_as_set for getting ASN lists. This returns raw ARIN database records with all attributes for detailed analysis.
