Where does the raw data come from?

Hi trick77,
I was doing some research about IP allocation, and I was digging through RIR assignments but I couldn't find where the raw data can be pulled. I love what you've done with this, I had a curl script at one point curling all the files on ipverse.net previously. Github makes a lot of sense for this.

Would you be able to share where the raw RIR allocations may be found?

Hi there,
the data is available directly from the RIRs. Here's a gist with the locations:

I'm also interested into this as i'm studying the subject and i find your work one of the most complete: i was wondering where the ASN's handle and description data in the asn-info repo came from, as i'm unable to find that in the delegated- files there.
Moreover, the RIR delegated data from ARIN doesn't seem to list for example AS797, but i would have expected to see it there since whois -h whois.arin.net 'a - 797' list it, so i'm not sure what i'm assuming wrong, but i thought you could shed some light on that too? (i tried to look it up on the free database from arin at http://ftp.arin.net/pub/rr/ but to no avail). (797 is there because 795|3) Thanks in advance if you find the time to get back to me.
