# Domain Intelligence Lookup (`cool_ya/domain-intelligence`) Actor Consolidated domain report: DNS records (A/AAAA/MX/NS/TXT/CNAME/SOA), WHOIS (registrar, age, expiry), SSL certificate details, plus derived signals like SPF/DMARC presence and mail provider. For domain investors, security research and lead enrichment. - **URL**: https://apify.com/cool\_ya/domain-intelligence.md - **Developed by:** [Y A](https://apify.com/cool_ya) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Business - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Domain Intelligence Lookup **One domain in → a full intelligence report out: DNS, WHOIS, SSL, and mail/security signals.** Feed this Actor a list of domains and get a consolidated report for each — everything you'd otherwise gather from five different tools. Built for **domain investors, security researchers, sales/lead enrichment, and infrastructure audits**. ### What it returns - 🌐 **DNS records** — A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA. - 📇 **WHOIS** — registrar, creation / expiry / updated dates, **domain age**, name servers. - 🔒 **SSL certificate** — issuer, subject, expiry date, days until expiry, Subject Alt Names. - 🧠 **Derived signals**: - `hasSpf` / `hasDmarc` — email authentication posture. - `mailProvider` — Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, Proton, or Other. - `sslExpiringSoon` — flags certs expiring within 30 days. - `resolves` — whether the domain currently resolves. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `domains` | array | Domains to look up (URLs are accepted and reduced to the domain). | | `domain` | string | Convenience field for a single domain. | | `includeWhois` | boolean | Include WHOIS lookup (default `true`). | | `includeSsl` | boolean | Include SSL certificate inspection (default `true`). | #### Example input ```json { "domains": ["example.com", "google.com"], "includeWhois": true, "includeSsl": true } ```` ### Output (excerpt) ```json { "domain": "example.com", "resolves": true, "dns": { "A": ["93.184.216.34"], "MX": ["0 ."], "NS": ["a.iana-servers.net", "b.iana-servers.net"], "TXT": ["v=spf1 -all"] }, "whois": { "registrar": "RESERVED-Internet Assigned Numbers Authority", "createdDate": "1995-08-14", "expiryDate": "2026-08-13", "ageDays": 11000 }, "ssl": { "valid": true, "issuer": "DigiCert Inc", "daysUntilExpiry": 210 }, "signals": { "hasSpf": true, "hasDmarc": false, "mailProvider": null, "sslExpiringSoon": false } } ``` ### Pricing Billed **per domain** reported. ### Notes - Uses public DNS, WHOIS, and TLS — no scraping of protected content. - WHOIS field availability varies by TLD and registrar; missing fields are returned as `null`. # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): List of domains to look up (e.g. example.com). URLs are accepted too and will be reduced to the domain. ## `domain` (type: `string`): Convenience field for a single domain. Use 'domains' for multiple. ## `includeWhois` (type: `boolean`): Fetch registrar, creation/expiry dates and domain age via WHOIS. ## `includeSsl` (type: `boolean`): Inspect the TLS certificate (issuer, expiry, SANs). ## Actor input object example ```json { "domains": [ "example.com", "google.com" ], "includeWhois": true, "includeSsl": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "domains": [ "apify.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("cool_ya/domain-intelligence").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
