Parameters

Key Value Info Required

source Database source RIPE or APNIC YES
timestamp ISO8601 or Unix timestamp Defines the time for which to perform the query NO

Output

Data

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.
