Scripting languages have modules that can parse many registrar whois formats. However, most are incomplete due to the plurality of output formats as stated above. I, and i suspect many others, wouls *love* to see a more concrete key value format drafted and enforced by ICANN.
Yes, that's what I was looking at. And that REST API looks nice... Though from what I read (admittedly not the whole doc yet) I didn't see it defined what type of data is returned, nor what data should be expected, which would leave me in the same place. If I'm only getting a blob back (that would be, I guess, internationalized at this point) I've still got to loop through with a regex expecting some type of key/value thing and concatenate data after a line break to the last value (probably removing spaces since they try to format it pretty).
