Whois API
Enterprise grade, high volume capable
Our Whois API allows users to query domain or IP address ownership information, including the owner's details, domain status, and key dates like creation and expiration.
Our platform automatically sources data from either WHOIS or RDAP depending on what each registry provides. We ensure a consistently parsed output across all TLDs, eliminating the need to check whether a registrar uses WHOIS or RDAP, and delivering an enterprise grade, high-volume solution that just works.
