[anti-abuse-wg] Abuse Finder Tool

Dear Peter,

The "Abuse Finder" form doesn't need a UserID and Password. If you are  
referring to the Labs site, then I sugest you just register yourself  
and you'll be able to post to the forum.

The "Abuse Finder" form actually uses an extension to the RIPE  
Database Query API, which is implemented in the form of a RESTful Web  
Service.
The API allows you to write script against this search tool and  
responses can be received in either XML or JSON format for easy parsing.

We will be updating the API documentation soon, but in the meantime  
you could try clicking the XML and JSON icons next to the response  
from the "Abuse Finder" form to see the original response from the web  
service.

Regards,

Paul Palse
