RDAP Entity

The RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) Entity resource in Overmind allows users to access and discover information about registered entities on the internet, such as registrants, administrative contacts, and technical contacts. It serves as a tool for uncovering potential risks and actors involved in internet resource registration. Official documentation and further details can be accessed at the IETF RDAP documentation.

Supported Methods​

  • GET: Get an entity by its handle. This method is discouraged as it's not reliable since entity bootstrapping isn't comprehensive
  • LIST
  • SEARCH: Search for an entity by its URL e.g. https://rdap.apnic.net/entity/AIC3-AP

rdap-asn​

The RDAP Entity can be related to the RDAP ASN (Autonomous System Numbers) type, where each entity might be linked to a specific ASN. This association helps users to identify the governing body or individual responsible for an ASN, thereby providing insight into the ownership and administrative structure that could affect risk analysis in network deployments.
