RESTful API for create, delete and update
by Christopher Fuselier 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Can someone please provide an update regarding RIPE's RESTful APIs for manipulating the RIPE database? The documentation <https://labs.ripe.net/ripe-database/database-api/api-documentation> points to <http://lab.db.ripe.net/whois> http://lab.db.ripe.net/whois as the URL for communicating with the RIPE and TEST databases. In my testing, transactions time out with that web service endpoint. Using a slightly different URL (http://apps.db.ripe.net/whois), queries succeed but updates do not. Could it be that the web service URL has changed? Or is the e-mail template approach still preferred? Thank you in advance... Cheers, Christopher Fuselier

Re: [db-wg] New free text search for RIPE Database

In the new system, you state that you don't index role or person objects but you also don't index the strings tech-c or admin-c inside inetnum objects for example. This makes it then impossible to find what objects a person is listed on. Imagine someone retires and you want to change all his/her objects that list them - it used to be able to be done with the old free text search. The new one doesn't allow it.

Hello. Possible the new form is better then old and you did do it to give the some new features that were absent in the old. But Before I could copy/past the url of search result and in this string was my request and all keys. Now it's not possible. Before I saw all keys in one look on page. Now I must open your several bookmarks (4) and check I put or not the tick in some check-boxes. It's not very well.
