Introducing yWhois: An Enhanced IP, Domain, and ASN Lookup Tool with RDAP Support

In the ever-evolving landscape of domain management and network analysis, efficient and reliable lookup services are essential. Recently, I revisited my yWhois project—a comprehensive tool designed for querying IP addresses, domain names, and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) using RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol). Since its initial launch last year, I’ve implemented several significant improvements to enhance its performance and reliability.

One of the main challenges faced initially was encountering rate-limiting restrictions during periods of high traffic. To address this, I integrated multiple worker servers into the architecture. This approach distributes incoming requests more effectively, reducing the likelihood of hitting API quotas and ensuring smoother user experiences even during peak times.

While it might seem counterintuitive for a registrar’s RDAP server to impose such low API usage limits—especially considering RDAP is intended as a modern, standardized successor to the traditional WHOIS protocol—the constraints remain. Nonetheless, I remain committed to improving the tool’s robustness and hope these updates help mitigate the limitations.

For those interested in leveraging this service, you can explore yWhois at https://ywhois.com/. My goal is to provide a trustworthy, fast, and up-to-date resource for network and domain professionals seeking accurate lookup capabilities.

Stay tuned for further updates as I continue to refine yWhois and explore ways to enhance its scalability and functionality in the future.
