🔍 Domain Expiry, Registrar & RDAP WHOIS Lookup

Fast, automated domain WHOIS and RDAP verification for domain investors, cybersecurity audits, brand protection, and registrar tracking without rate-limit bans or captchas.

🥊 Why This Actor Beats the Competition

Feature	Legacy WHOIS CLI / Telnet	WhoisXMLAPI	This Actor
Protocol	⚠️ Port 43 TCP (IP banned rapidly)	REST API	✅ Official RDAP over HTTPS
Cost	Free (but easily rate limited)	💸 $30 / 1,000 lookups	💰 $1.00 per 1,000 domains (PPR)
Captcha Blocks	❌ Frequent ICANN blocks	None	✅ Zero captchas, authoritative ICANN servers
Data Cleanliness	⚠️ Messy unstructured raw text	JSON	✅ Structured ISO 8601 dates & registrar info
