        #

        #

        my $svc = Net::RDAP::Service->new('https://www.example.com/rdap');

        #
        # get a domain:
        #

        my $domain = $svc->domain(Net::DNS::Domain->new('example.com'));

        #
        # do a search:
        #

        my $result = $svc->domains('name' => 'ex*mple.com');

        my $help = $svc->help;

DESCRIPTION

While Net::RDAP provides a unified interface to the universe of RIR, domain registry, and domain registrar RDAP services, Net::RDAP::Service provides an interface to a specify RDAP service.

You can do direct lookup of objects using methods of the same name that Net::RDAP provides. In addition, this module allows you to perform searches.

METHODS

Constructor

        my $svc = Net::RDAP::Service->new($url);

Creates a new Net::RDAP::Service object. $url is a string or a URI object representing the base URL of the service.

You can also provide a second argument which should be an existing Net::RDAP instance. This is used when fetching resources from the server.

Lookup Methods

You can do direct lookups of objects using the following methods:

• domain()

• ip()

• autnum()

• entity()

• nameserver()

They all work the same way as the methods of the same name on Net::RDAP.

Search Methods

You can perform searches using the following methods. Note that different services will support different search functions.

        $result = $svc->domains(%QUERY);

        $result = $svc->entities(%QUERY);

        $result = $svc->nameservers(%QUERY);

In all cases, %QUERY is a set of search parameters. Here are some examples:

        $result = $svc->domains('name' => 'ex*mple.com');

        $result = $svc->entities('fn' => 'Ex*ample, Inc');

        $result = $svc->nameservers('ip' => '192.168.0.1');

The following parameters can be specified:

• domains: name (domain name), nsLdhName (nameserver name), nsIp (nameserver IP address)

• nameservers: name (host name), ip (IP address)

• entities: handle, fn (Formatted Name)

Search parameters can contain the wildcard character "*" anywhere in the string.

These methods all return Net::RDAP::SearchResult objects.

Help

Each RDAP server has a "help" endpoint which provides "helpful information" (command syntax, terms of service, privacy policy, rate-limiting policy, supported authentication methods, supported extensions, technical support contact, etc.). This information may be obtained by performing a help query:

        my $help = $svc->help;

The return value is a Net::RDAP::Help object.
