Enhancing IP, Domain, and ASN Lookup with RDAP: An Updated Perspective

In today’s digital landscape, accurate and efficient lookup tools are essential for network management, cybersecurity, and domain Administration. Recently, I revisited my project focused on providing comprehensive IP, domain, and ASN information through RDAP, and I’ve implemented some notable improvements to enhance performance and reliability.

One challenge I encountered was rate-limiting when the platform experienced high traffic. To address this, I introduced multiple worker servers, distributing the load more effectively and ensuring smoother user experience during peak times. It’s a practical reminder of the importance of scalability in public API services.

Interestingly, it’s somewhat perplexing that a registrar’s RDAP server would impose such strict API usage limits—especially given that RDAP is designed to be the modern successor to traditional WHOIS, intended for broad public access. This limitation can be frustrating for users relying on these services for research or operational needs, highlighting an area where the industry could improve.

For those interested in a streamlined, modern approach to domain and IP data retrieval, I invite you to explore the updated platform at https://ywhois.com/. The enhancements aim to make the process more robust, reliable, and better suited to the demands of today’s internet environment.
