## Pricing

$5.00 / 1,000 domain rdap & expiry inspecteds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Domain Age, Expiry, Registrar & RDAP Intelligence Monitor

Bulk inspect and monitor up to **500 domains per run** for **Domain Age (`domainAgeYears`)**, **Registration Expiration Countdown (`daysUntilExpiry`)**, **Registrar Name & IANA ID**, **Transfer-Lock Protection (`clientTransferProhibited`)**, **DNSSEC status**, and **Nameserver Drift** using official IANA/Registry **RDAP (RFC 7480)** + DNS fallback.

> **Companion B2B Lead, Email & Domain Intelligence Suite:**
>
> - Discover verified corporate emails from a person's name + domain: **[Corporate Email Finder & Verifier (`invaluable_rondeau/corporate-email-finder-verifier`)](https://apify.com/invaluable_rondeau/corporate-email-finder-verifier)**
> - Audit corporate domain SPF / DMARC / DKIM / MX provider posture: **[B2B Domain Email Security Auditor (`invaluable_rondeau/b2b-domain-email-security-auditor`)](https://apify.com/invaluable_rondeau/b2b-domain-email-security-auditor)**
> - Monitor SSL/TLS certificate expiration & SAN subdomains: **[SSL/TLS Certificate Expiry & SANs Drift Monitor (`invaluable_rondeau/ssl-tls-certificate-drift-monitor`)](https://apify.com/invaluable_rondeau/ssl-tls-certificate-drift-monitor)**
> - Monitor DNS `A` / `MX` / `TXT` / `CAA` record changes: **[DNS Record Change Monitor (`invaluable_rondeau/dns-record-change-monitor`)](https://apify.com/invaluable_rondeau/dns-record-change-monitor)**

### High-Value Use Cases

1. **B2B Lead Scoring & Newly Registered Domain Filtering**: Separate established corporate domains (`domainAgeYears >= 3`) from newly registered throwaway or phishing domains (`domainAgeDays < 90`).
2. **Portfolio Expiration & Hijack Prevention**: Monitor 100–500 client or brand domains on a weekly schedule (`stateId`) to alert before registration expiry (`expiring_soon`), unauthorized registrar transfers, or `transferLocked: false` regressions.

### Input Example

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "apify.com",
    "microsoft.com",
    "github.com"
  ],
  "expiryWarningDays": 60,
  "stateId": "brand-domains",
  "timeoutMs": 6000
}
```

### Output Example

```json
{
  "domain": "apify.com",
  "isValidDomain": true,
  "isRegistered": true,
  "status": "active",
  "domainAgeDays": 4018,
  "domainAgeYears": 11,
  "daysUntilExpiry": 365,
  "registrationDate": "2015-10-20T00:00:00Z",
  "expirationDate": "2027-10-20T00:00:00Z",
  "registrarName": "Amazon Registrar, Inc.",
  "registrarIanaId": "468",
  "transferLocked": true,
  "dnssecSigned": false,
  "nameservers": ["ns-100.awsdns-12.com"],
  "changeType": "baseline",
  "changes": [],
  "isBillable": true,
  "checkedAt": "2026-10-20T04:30:00.000Z"
}
```

### Pricing (Pay-Per-Event)

- **Event**: `domain-inspected` (`$0.005` per domain inspected — `$5.00` per 1,000 domains).

### AI Agent (MCP) & Automation Integration (Claude, Cursor, n8n, Clay, Make)

This Actor is **Agentic-Payment & MCP Ready** (`LIMITED_PERMISSIONS`, `256 MB` fast cold-start, synchronous JSON output).

#### 1. Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf MCP Configuration

Add to `claude_desktop_config.json` or `.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify-b2b-quant": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@apify/actors-mcp-server",
        "--actors",
        "invaluable_rondeau/domain-rdap-expiry-registrar-monitor"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### 2. Synchronous HTTP Webhook (n8n, Make, Clay, Zapier, cURL)

Call the synchronous dataset endpoint to get clean JSON items in a single HTTP request:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/invaluable_rondeau~domain-rdap-expiry-registrar-monitor/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=$APIFY_TOKEN&memory=256&clean=true" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
```

#### 3. Search Keywords & Supported Workflows

Compatible with **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**, **Clay.com HTTP API enrichment**, **n8n HTTP Request node**, **Make.com**, **Zapier**, **LangChain**, and **OpenAI Agent SDK**. Built as a high-margin, pay-per-event alternative to rigid monthly SaaS subscriptions (WhoisXML API, DomainTools, ICANN WHOIS & IANA RDAP bulk domain expiration, domain age, registrar transfer lock, and DNSSEC monitor).

```bash
echo '{

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,invaluable_rondeau/domain-rdap-expiry-registrar-monitor"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
