Domain & DNS Intelligence — WHOIS, DNS Records & SSL in One Call

Everything you need to know about a domain, in a single lookup: all DNS records, registration data (registrar, creation & expiry dates, status, DNSSEC), and the live SSL certificate (issuer, validity, days remaining, SANs). Also flags unregistered / available domains.

Stop stitching together four single-purpose tools — this returns the whole picture per domain, as clean JSON.

Charged per domain. No startup fee. Failures cost $0.

Quick start

{
  "domains": ["cloudflare.com", "example.com"]
}

→ one record per domain:

{
  "domain": "cloudflare.com",
  "registered": true,
  "registrar": "Cloudflare, Inc.",
  "createdDate": "2009-02-17T22:07:54Z",
  "expiryDate": "2027-02-17T22:07:54Z",
  "daysUntilExpiry": 587,
  "status": ["client transfer prohibited", "server delete prohibited"],
  "dnssec": true,
  "nameservers": ["ns3.cloudflare.com", "ns4.cloudflare.com"],
  "ipAddresses": ["104.16.132.229", "104.16.133.229"],
  "dns": { "A": ["…"], "AAAA": ["…"], "MX": ["…"], "TXT": ["…"], "NS": ["…"], "SOA": {}, "CAA": ["…"] },
  "ssl": {
    "issuer": "Google Trust Services", "subject": "cloudflare.com",
    "validFrom": "2026-05-01T…", "validTo": "2026-07-30T…",
    "daysRemaining": 61, "valid": true, "san": ["cloudflare.com", "*.cloudflare.com"]
  }
}

What it returns

Section	Fields
DNS	A, AAAA, MX (priority-sorted), TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA, CAA — resolved via 1.1.1.1 / 8.8.8.8
Registration (RDAP/WHOIS)	registrar, created / expiry / updated dates, daysUntilExpiry, status codes, DNSSEC, registered: false for available domains
SSL certificate	issuer, subject, valid-from / valid-to, daysRemaining, Subject Alternative Names, valid flag

Use cases

• Expiry & cert monitoring: run your domain portfolio on a Schedule; alert when daysUntilExpiry or ssl.daysRemaining drops below a threshold.
• Security & recon: DNS + SSL + registration snapshot for any domain, in bulk.
• Domain research / availability: batch-check whether names are registered.
• DNS debugging & migrations: verify records and nameserver propagation.

Pricing

A small fixed price per domain analyzed, plus (minimal) Apify platform usage — no browser is involved, so runs are quick and cheap. Failed lookups aren't billed.

FAQ

Where does the WHOIS data come from? RDAP — the IANA-standard JSON successor to WHOIS — via the public RDAP bootstrap. It returns structured registration facts and, by design, omits redacted registrant contact details, so no personal data is surfaced.

Is this responsible to run? Yes — DNS, RDAP and TLS are public infrastructure lookups (the same ones your browser and dig/whois perform). No content and no personal data.
