Domain WHOIS & DNS Lookup — RDAP, DNS Records, SPF/DMARC, Bulk

Bulk domain intelligence in one run. Paste domains, URLs or email addresses and get for each domain: WHOIS via RDAP (registrar, registration and expiry dates, status, nameservers, DNSSEC, availability), DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA), the email provider behind the MX records, SPF and DMARC policies, and optionally a website check (HTTP status, final URL, title, server). JSON, CSV, Excel or API.

Everything comes from authoritative, public sources: the registries' own RDAP services (the structured successor of WHOIS, discovered through IANA's bootstrap) and DNS over HTTPS. No scraping of WHOIS websites, no proxies, no login.

Why this Actor

• Authoritative sources only: registries' RDAP (structured WHOIS) and DNS over HTTPS
• Registrar, dates, status, nameservers, DNSSEC and an availability signal
• Email provider recognised from MX records; SPF and DMARC extracted
• Optional website check: status, final URL, title, server
• Five domains in parallel; checked every day by an automated run

    "…"
  ],
  "emailProvider": "Google Workspace",
  "spf": "v=spf1 a mx include:_spf.google.com include:mailgun.org include:amazonses.com -all",

What you get

Field	Description
domain, tld	Normalised domain
registered	true, false (registry reports no such domain — likely available) or null (unknown: the TLD has no RDAP service and the name does not resolve)
registrar, registrarIanaId, registrarAbuseEmail	Registrar
registrant, registrantOrg, registrantCountry	Registrant, when the registry does not redact it
createdAt, updatedAt, expiresAt, status, nameservers, dnssec	Registration facts
dns	Records by type; MX with priority and exchange
emailProvider	Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, Proton, Cloudflare Email Routing, Fastmail, Mimecast, Proofpoint, GoDaddy… or "Self-hosted / other"
spf, dmarc, resolves	Mail authentication policies; whether an A record exists
websiteStatus, websiteUrl, websiteTitle, websiteServer	With Check website
whoisSource, whoisError, dnsError	Provenance and problems

Input

• Domains — names, URLs or emails; www. and paths are stripped, invalid lines are skipped and counted.
• DNS record types, Include WHOIS (RDAP), Check website.

Limits and notes

• RDAP covers all generic TLDs (.com, .net, .org, .app, .io…) and many country codes; for TLDs without RDAP (e.g. .de, .ru) WHOIS fields are empty and whoisError says so — DNS and the website check still work.
• Registrant details are redacted by most registries since GDPR; registrar and dates are always present.
• Five domains are looked up in parallel; 1,000 domains take a few minutes.
• Public data only; the Actor stores nothing beyond the dataset of your run.

Input example

{
  "domains": [
    "apify.com",
    "https://github.com",
    "chorelet.app"
  ],
  "recordTypes": [
    "A",
    "MX",
    "NS",
    "TXT"
  ],
  "includeWhois": true,
  "checkWebsite": false
}

How much does it cost?

Pay per domain — no subscription, no minimum, no charge for platform usage.

Volume	Price
1,000 domains	$2.00
10,000 domains	$20.00
100,000 domains	$200.00

The Apify free plan includes $5 of usage every month — about 2,500 domains with this Actor, no card needed. Nothing else is charged: platform usage is included in the price, and Apify Bronze, Silver and Gold subscribers get 10%, 20% and 30% off these prices.

Use it from code, n8n, Make, Zapier or an AI agent

Run the Actor and download the dataset in one call (JSON by default; add &format=csv or xlsx):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/chorelet~domain-whois-dns-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domains": ["apify.com", "https://github.com", "chorelet.app"], "recordTypes": ["A", "MX", "NS", "TXT"], "includeWhois": true, "checkWebsite": false}'

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("chorelet/domain-whois-dns-scraper").call(run_input={"domains": ["apify.com", "https://github.com", "chorelet.app"], "recordTypes": ["A", "MX", "NS", "TXT"], "includeWhois": true, "checkWebsite": false})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

• n8n, Make, Zapier — use the Apify node/module: run the Actor, then "get dataset items".
• Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks — add an integration on the run's Integrations tab.
• AI agents — the Actor is available as a tool through the Apify MCP server; the dataset schema describes every field for the model.
• Schedules — run it hourly, daily or weekly from the Schedules tab.

FAQ

Which TLDs have WHOIS data?

All generic TLDs (.com, .net, .org, .app, .io…) and many country codes with RDAP. For TLDs without RDAP (.de, .ru…) the WHOIS fields are empty and whoisError says so; DNS and the website check still work.

Does it show the domain owner?

Only when the registry publishes it; most redact registrant details since GDPR. Registrar and dates are always present.

Can I check if a domain is available?

registered: false means the registry reports no such domain — a strong signal it is available. Confirm with a registrar before buying.

Can I pass URLs or emails?

Yes — https://www.example.com/page and name@example.com both become example.com.

What does a run cost?

$2 per 1,000 domains. The free plan's $5 a month covers about 2,500 domains.
