/data/whois-object-last-updated/data.json

# Parameters

Key Value Info Required
object Object name The exact object to query for YES
type Object type Examples: aut-num, inetnum, person, etc YES
source Database source RIPE or APNIC YES
timestamp ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the time for which to perform the query NO
compare_with_live true or false When True (default), the version at the last changed time will be compared with the current live object and indicate if it's different. This will indicate whether there has been at least one modification between "query_time" and "now". NO

# Data Output

Key Info
last_updated holds the time the object was last updated (before the query_time) in the specified Whois database
object holds the object name the query was based on
query_time holds the time the query was based on
same_as_live indicates whether the object at "query_time" is identical to the current live object. Only applicable for RIPE DB objects. Possible values: "yes", "no" or null. null indicates there has been no comparison with the live object and it is therefore unknown. This can be because the mechanism is switched off ("compare_with_live" query option), or it's an object outside the RIPE database.
