The Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) is the successor to WHOIS. Like WHOIS, RDAP provides access to information about Internet resources (domain names, autonomous system numbers, and IP addresses). Unlike WHOIS, RDAP provides:
RDAP.org aims to support users and developers of RDAP clients by providing a "bootstrap server", i.e. single end point for RDAP queries. RDAP.org aggregates information about all known RDAP servers. RDAP clients can send RDAP queries to RDAP.org, which will then redirect requests to the appropriate RDAP service.
Note: RDAP.org is not affiliated with ICANN or IANA.
If you are developing an RDAP client, configure it to send HTTP requests to https://rdap.org/<type>/<object>, where <type> is the object type (one of domain, ip, autnum, entity etc) and <object> is the object identifier (eg example.com, 192.168.0.1, 64496, etc).
Apart from the DNS, ASN and IP registries which are listed in the IANA registry, RDAP.ORG also provides the following unofficial RDAP server endpoints:

If you use RDAP.org to perform RDAP queries, your queries will be logged, alongside your IP address. These logs are not disclosed to anyone and are deleted within a few days. RDAP.org will not set any cookies in your browser.

RDAP.org is maintained by Gavin Brown.
You can review the code which RDAP.org uses on GitHub.
If your organisation depends on RDAP.org, then please consider supporting it, since it's not free to operate and requires ongoing maintenance and management.
