ARIN is seeking feedback from the community on a potential improvement to the RESTful API used to manage registration records, known as Reg-RWS. Specifically, we received a community suggestion to create a RESTful API method to determine the most specific NET object for a range.
The stated benefit of this potential improvement is that it would allow a user to bootstrap functionality based on knowing a problematic IP address and learning more about it (delegation, Points of Contact, etc.).
ARIN has two distinct RESTful web services, Reg-RWS and Whois-RWS. Currently, there is a most specific network query available using Whois-RWS.

We are seeking community input on whether the existing services meet community needs, or if ARIN should spend resources to duplicate the functionality from Whois-RWS into Reg-RWS.
Please provide comments to [email protected]. You can subscribe to this mailing list at https://lists.arin.net/mailman/listinfo/arin-consult.
This consultation will remain open until 5:00 PM ET on 20 December 2024. ARIN seeks clear direction through community input, so your feedback is important.
Thank you for your continued support to improve ARIN's services.
Regards,
John Curran
