Whois Full Dataset

Overview

IP Whois data describes the owners of IP address ranges. Globally, Whois data is managed by different organizations in different regions (Regional Internet Registries, or RIRs). Each RIR has a slightly different data format and structure but the same basic information.

This data set eliminates the toil of having to manage the nuances in the data and standardize across the individual RIRs. IPinfo bulk downloads the IP Whois data daily from RIRs then processes and restructures the data to deliver a consistent, user-friendly IP Whois data set from all of the RIRs.
