Registration Data Access Protocol Partial Response

Overview

RFC 8982, “Registration Data Access Protocol Partial Response”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2021 by M. Loffredo, M. Martinelli. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) does not include capabilities to request partial responses. Servers will only return full responses that include all of the information that a client is authorized to receive. A partial response capability that limits the amount of information returned, especially in the case of search queries, could bring benefits to both clients and servers. This document describes an RDAP query extension that allows clients to specify their preference for obtaining a partial response.
