Check Domain Age, Expiry & SPF/DMARC in Bulk (RDAP Lookup)

What it does: checks a list of domains for age, expiry date, registrar, DNS and email security in one run, by Print & Plan UK. You give it: domain names or full URLs (thousands at once). You get: one row per domain with official RDAP registration and expiry dates, registrar and status, DNS records, the DNS and email provider, and an A–F email-security grade from SPF, DMARC, DKIM, MTA-STS and BIMI. No personal contact data is collected. Cost per run: $0.0015 per domain checked, so 1,000 domains cost $1.50; invalid domains and failed lookups are free. Example inputs: apify.com, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news, nominet.uk.

Use it for lead qualification, domain portfolio monitoring, expiry tracking, cold-email deliverability checks, vendor due diligence and security audits.

Why this Actor?

• Official RDAP, not scraped WHOIS: structured JSON straight from the registries (Verisign, Nominet, PIR and others) through the IANA bootstrap. No proxies, no CAPTCHAs, no parsing guesswork.
• Privacy by design: registrant, admin and tech contact data is never collected. You get the domain facts and no personal data.
• Email-security grade: SPF qualifier and DNS-lookup count (flags the RFC 7208 limit of 10), DMARC policy, DKIM selector probe, MTA-STS, BIMI and null-MX detection.
• Provider detection: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, Proofpoint and others for email. Cloudflare, Route 53, GoDaddy and others for DNS.
• Cheap: $1.50 per 1,000 domains. Invalid domains and failed lookups are free.

Input example

{
  "domains": ["apify.com", "https://www.bbc.co.uk/news", "github.com", "some-unregistered-domain-xyz-2026.com"],
  "includeDns": true,
  "includeEmailSecurity": true,
  "maxConcurrency": 10
}

URLs, www. prefixes and paths are normalised automatically. Duplicates are removed.

Output example (apify.com, trimmed)

{
  "domain": "apify.com",
  "rdapStatus": "found",
  "registrar": "Amazon Registrar, Inc.",
  "createdDate": "2009-06-02T17:14:10Z",
  "expiryDate": "2035-06-02T17:14:10Z",
  "domainAgeDays": 6335,
  "daysUntilExpiry": 3160,
  "dnssec": true,
  "likelyAvailable": false,
  "dnsProvider": "Amazon Route 53",
  "emailProvider": "Google Workspace",
  "dns": {"mx": ["1 aspmx.l.google.com", "5 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com"], "caa": ["0 issue \"amazonaws.com\""]},
  "emailSecurity": {
    "spf": {"present": true, "allQualifier": "-all", "directDnsLookups": 6},
    "dmarc": {"present": true, "policy": "reject", "pct": "100", "hasAggregateReporting": true},
    "dkimSelectorsFound": ["google"],
    "mtaSts": true,

FAQ

Which TLDs are supported? Every TLD with an RDAP server in the IANA bootstrap. That covers all gTLDs (.com, .net, .org, .io, .app and more) and most ccTLDs, including .uk. If a TLD has no RDAP service, the item says so and is not charged.

Why no owner name or email? By design. Since GDPR, most of that data is redacted anyway, and leaving it out keeps your dataset free of personal data.

Is "likelyAvailable" a guarantee? No. It means the registry's RDAP returned not found. Always confirm with a registrar before you buy.

Can DKIM be detected for every domain? DKIM can only be confirmed for known selectors. Add your own under dkimSelectors.
