rdapper is a command-line RDAP client written in Perl.
It retrieves registration data for internet resources and presents the results in a human-readable terminal format, helping administrators, network operators, and researchers inspect information associated with domains, IP addresses, autonomous system numbers, and related RDAP objects.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Accepts queries for forward domains, top-level domains, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, CIDR prefixes, reverse DNS domains, autonomous system numbers, tagged entity handles, and direct RDAP resource URLs.
- Can display the registry record, follow referrals to a registrar record, or show both records together.
- Supports substring domain searches on RDAP servers that provide search functionality.
- Offers raw JSON output, shortened formatted output, ANSI colour control, and debugging mode.
- Uses a local cache for RDAP objects and provides an option to bypass the cache when needed.
- Includes internationalisation and localisation support, sending the user’s preferred language in the Accept-Language header where applicable.
- Can be installed from CPAN and also includes Docker support for containerised use.
