john, today, a research batch script running periodic bulk whois work has a line something like ncftpget ftp://user:pass () ftp arin net/arin_db.txt.gz well, it can actually be simpler. for the web 9.3 impaired of us, could you describe the simple batch script line under the new improved system?
Randy - You're going to have to get on ARIN Online at least once to generate an key (this means after June 26), but then accessing the data should be just as simple for a batch script (i.e. use curl or wget for this purpose). I've extracted the relevant draft info from the June 26 release documents and attached below. This is obviously subject to change until the release actually comes out... /John ---- DOWNLOADING USING AN API KEY ---- The report can be downloaded directly without logging into ARIN Online using a RESTful HTTP request containing your API key. The URL must look like: https://www.arin.net/public/rest/downloads/nvpr?apikey=YOUR-API-KEY There are a variety of ways to automate the retrieval of this report. For example, on a Linux system, where your API key is API-1111-2222-3333-4444, you can use the following 'curl' command to download the report file: curl https://www.arin.net/public/rest/downloads/nvpr?apikey=API-1111-2222-3333-4444 > arin_nvpr.zip You can manage your API keys on the when logged into your ARIN Online account.
