The ASN WHOIS API provides detailed information about Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs), including the AS number, name, organization details, country, domain, allocation status, and associated IPv4 and IPv6 routes. It also returns upstream and downstream providers, peers, administrative and technical contacts, abuse contacts, and raw WHOIS data, all available in JSON or XML format.
Authorization
