# Domain Inspector — WHOIS/RDAP, DNS & SSL (`hipersoft/domain-inspector`) Actor Inspect any list of domains: registrar, registration/expiry dates and status via RDAP; DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME); and SSL certificate issuer and expiry. Bulk-ready, no login, no API key. Great for domain portfolios, security audits and lead research. - **URL**: https://apify.com/hipersoft/domain-inspector.md - **Developed by:** [hiper soft](https://apify.com/hipersoft) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per event This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 Inspector — WHOIS/RDAP, DNS & SSL Everything about a domain in one row. Give the Actor a list of domains and it returns each one's **registrar, registration & expiry dates, status and nameservers (via RDAP), full DNS records, and SSL certificate details** — over public sources, no login and no API key. Perfect for **domain portfolio monitoring, expiry/SSL alerting, security audits, due-diligence and lead enrichment**. ### What you get per domain | Field | Notes | |---|---| | `registrar` | Registrar name (RDAP). | | `createdDate`, `updatedDate`, `expiryDate` | Registration lifecycle dates. | | `statuses` | EPP status codes (e.g. `clientTransferProhibited`). | | `nameservers` | Authoritative nameservers from the registry. | | `dns` | `{ a, aaaa, mx, ns, txt, cname }` resolved live. | | `ssl` | `{ issuer, subject, validFrom, validTo, daysToExpiry, authorized }`. | | `registrableDomain` | The eTLD+1 used for the registry lookup. | ### Input ```json { "domains": ["google.com", "example.co.uk", "apify.com"], "includeRdap": true, "includeDns": true, "includeSsl": true } ```` - **domains** — domains (or URLs — the host is used), one per line. - **includeRdap / includeDns / includeSsl** — toggle each data source (all on by default). - **maxConcurrency** — domains inspected in parallel. - **proxyConfiguration** — optional; only if RDAP rate-limits your IP. ### Output (one row per domain) ```json { "input": "google.com", "domain": "google.com", "registrar": "MarkMonitor Inc.", "createdDate": "1997-09-15T04:00:00Z", "expiryDate": "2028-09-14T04:00:00Z", "statuses": ["clientTransferProhibited"], "nameservers": ["ns1.google.com", "ns2.google.com"], "dns": { "a": ["142.250.72.14"], "mx": ["smtp.google.com"], "ns": ["ns1.google.com"], "txt": ["v=spf1 ..."] }, "ssl": { "issuer": "Google Trust Services", "validTo": "2026-09-01T00:00:00.000Z", "daysToExpiry": 52, "authorized": true }, "error": null } ``` ### Notes Registration data comes from RDAP (the modern WHOIS); a few TLDs expose limited fields. Each domain is hard-capped in time so one slow lookup can't stall a bulk run. Only publicly available registration/DNS/certificate data is collected. # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): Domains to inspect (e.g. "google.com", "example.co.uk"). URLs are accepted too — the host is used. One per line. ## `includeRdap` (type: `boolean`): Look up registrar, creation/expiry dates, status and nameservers via RDAP. ## `includeDns` (type: `boolean`): Resolve A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT and CNAME records. ## `includeSsl` (type: `boolean`): Fetch the TLS certificate issuer, validity and days-to-expiry (https). ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): How many domains to inspect in parallel. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. Only needed if RDAP rate-limits your IP. ## Actor input object example ```json { "domains": [ "google.com", "apify.com" ], "includeRdap": true, "includeDns": true, "includeSsl": true, "maxConcurrency": 10, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # 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", "apify.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("hipersoft/domain-inspector").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 📖?
