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 Info & WHOIS Scraper - DNS, SSL, Tech Stack Detection Extract comprehensive domain intelligence: WHOIS registration data, DNS records, SSL certificate details, technology stack, and HTTP metadata — all from free public APIs with no API key required. ### Use Cases - **Competitor Analysis**: Discover what technologies your competitors use (WordPress, Shopify, Next.js, Vercel, Cloudflare, etc.) - **Lead Qualification**: Check if a company's domain is active, when it was registered, and what stack they run - **Domain Research**: Bulk WHOIS lookups for domain age, registrar, expiration dates - **Sales Intelligence**: Identify prospects using specific technologies to target relevant offers - **Due Diligence**: Verify domain ownership details, registration history, and server infrastructure - **SEO Research**: Check nameservers, hosting providers, and CDN usage across competitor domains ### What It Extracts | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `registrar` | Domain registrar name | | `creationDate` | When the domain was registered | | `expirationDate` | When the domain expires | | `updatedDate` | Last update date | | `registrantOrg` | Registrant organization | | `registrantCountry` | Registrant country | | `domainStatus` | RDAP status codes | | `nameservers` | DNS nameservers | | `ipAddress` | Primary A record IP | | `aRecords` | All A records | | `aaaaRecords` | IPv6 AAAA records | | `mxRecords` | Mail exchange records | | `txtRecords` | TXT records (SPF, DMARC, etc.) | | `nsRecords` | Name server records | | `httpStatus` | HTTP response code | | `redirectUrl` | Final redirect URL | | `responseTime` | Response time in ms | | `serverSoftware` | Server header (nginx, Apache, etc.) | | `poweredBy` | X-Powered-By header | | `title` | Page title | | `description` | Meta description | | `sslIssuer` | SSL certificate issuer | | `sslExpiry` | SSL certificate expiry | | `techStack` | Detected technologies | ### Technology Detection Detects 30+ technologies including: - **CMS**: WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow - **E-commerce**: Shopify - **Frameworks**: Next.js, Nuxt.js, Gatsby, React, Vue.js, Angular - **Hosting**: Vercel, Netlify, AWS, Heroku, Cloudflare - **Analytics**: Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Mixpanel - **CSS**: Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS - **Chat/Support**: Intercom, Zendesk, Drift, Crisp - **Payments**: Stripe - **CRM**: HubSpot, Segment ### Input ```json { "domains": ["google.com", "github.com", "shopify.com"], "maxDomains": 100 } ```` ### Output Example ```json { "domain": "google.com", "registrar": "MarkMonitor Inc.", "creationDate": "1997-09-15T04:00:00Z", "expirationDate": "2028-09-14T04:00:00Z", "ipAddress": "142.250.185.78", "mxRecords": ["10 smtp.google.com."], "nameservers": ["ns1.google.com", "ns2.google.com"], "httpStatus": 200, "serverSoftware": "gws", "title": "Google", "techStack": ["Google Analytics", "Google Tag Manager"], "sslIssuer": "Google Trust Services", "scrapedAt": "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Data Sources - **WHOIS**: RDAP protocol (rdap.org) — free, no API key - **DNS**: Google Public DNS API (dns.google) — free, no API key - **HTTP/SSL**: Direct HTTP request to domain — free - **Tech Detection**: HTML pattern matching — free ### Performance - \~2-5 seconds per domain - 256MB memory is sufficient for 100+ domains - Parallel WHOIS + DNS + HTTP lookups per domain # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): List of domain names to look up (e.g. google.com, fatihai.app) ## `maxDomains` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of domains to process (default: 100) ## Actor input object example ```json { "domains": [ "google.com", "github.com" ], "maxDomains": 100 } ``` # 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": [ "google.com", "github.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("fatihai-tools/domain-info-scraper").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 📖?
