Specifying a Link Target

The RDAP client supports specifying a target by following RDAP links.

The client provides several arguments for controlling link following behavior:

Argument Description
--link-target Specifies a link target (e.g., "related", "rdap-up"). Use _none to disable link following.
--min-link-depth The minimum number of times to query for a link target.
--max-link-depth The maximum number of times to query for a link target.

Preset Arguments

The client provides preset arguments that set multiple parameters at once for common use cases:

Argument Description
--registry Set link target parameters for a domain registry.
--registrar Set link target parameters for a domain registrar.
--up Set link target parameters for a parent network.
--down Set link target parameters for child networks.
--top Set link target parameters for the least specific network.
--bottom Set link target parameters for the most specific networks.
