Expanding polkadot-introspector Whois Functionality

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using the polkadot-introspector tool, and it’s been a fantastic resource for querying and geopopulating active validators. The whois functionality, in particular, has been very helpful for pulling the active validator set and associated wallet addresses.

I’m wondering if anyone knows more about this tool and whether it makes sense to expand the whois functionality to include validators and nodes that are not currently nominated. I feel this could provide even greater insight into the broader network and its participants.

Would love to hear your thoughts! Has anyone else explored this idea or considered implementing something similar?

Thanks!
Rob

I see you have already opened issue Feature Request: Expand whois to Include Non-Nominated Validators/Nodes · Issue #836 · paritytech/polkadot-introspector · GitHub. Let’s discuss it there.
