The "traditional" whois interface is still supported:

That should be easy to script one way or another, probably with the
help of a decent "whois" client or a library function.

There's also a flag which tells the server to keep the TCP stream open
and wait for a new lookup key (iirc it is -k, just refer to the doc or
feed -h to the server :-) ).

Hth, regards,
Wilfried.
