Bulk Domain WHOIS data

Does anyone know how one can go about obtaining Whois data in bulk? I know there exist paid services (see links below), which offer exactly what I'm looking for, but I find it frustrating that there doesn't appear to be a legitimate way to go about grabbing this data. The reason I find it frustrating, is because the data itself is open and free.

I've thought about automating and parsing the results from running a command line whois but this goes against the disclaimers listed at the bottom of the command result output. I've also reached out to IANA and the best they could do is provide me with zone files. I've additionally reached out to PIR who manages the .org domain who also pointed me towards their DNS zone files. I'd appreciate any feedback or guidance into areas I can further research.
