arinrest-client 0.2.1

client to interact with the arinrest API

ARINREST LIB

The purpose of this package is to manage and query resources hosted by ARIN. ARIN has 3 different services that you can query and manage records on.

• whois, only the RDAP interface is supported by this library
• IRR, This still needs to be implemented
• RPKI, The reason I start this library os to manage ROA objects hosted in ARINs repository.

Usage

The entry point into this library is the ArinRest class. The class only takes an API Key from ARIN to instantiate.

from arinrest import ArinRest
from arinrest.rpki import ROA

arinclient = ArinRest('your-api-key-here')

# arinclient.rdap() creates a rdap session with ARIN
whois_client = arinclient.rdap()

# You can manage resources in the IRR and RPKI endpoints so currently the classes
# require an API key to instantiate them.

# create an rpki session with signing capabilities, private key required
rpki_client = arin.rpki("/path/to/private/key")

# add a ROA to the queue to be submitted as well as signing it.
rpki_client.add_roa(roa: ROA)

# submit the ROA to ARIN
rpki_clinet.submit_roas()

TODO

Break out the rpki client and the ROA object into 2 separate classes.

- ROA object will have getters and setters for the attributes with validation of values.

• rpki client will have the connection and url's needed to submit and fetch information about ROAs.
