## What's an Apify Actor?

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 Intelligence Scanner — WHOIS, DNS, SSL, Subdomains & Tech Stack

Run a **full due-diligence scan on any domain in a single call**. Instead of stitching together five different tools, get WHOIS registration, DNS records, the live SSL certificate, subdomain discovery, and a technology fingerprint — all in one structured report per domain.

Built for **OSINT analysts, security/recon teams, M&A and investment due diligence, domain investors, and B2B lead researchers** who need to understand a domain fast.

> **Legal note:** This Actor performs **read-only lookups of public infrastructure records** (WHOIS, DNS, Certificate Transparency logs, the live TLS handshake, and HTTP responses). It does not log in, bypass authentication, or harvest personal data. Registries normally redact personal registrant details. Use in compliance with PIPA (KR), GDPR (EU), CCPA (US), and any applicable law in your jurisdiction.

### What you get per domain

| Module | Data | Source |
|---|---|---|
| **WHOIS** | Registrar, creation/expiry dates, registrant country, name servers | `whois` |
| **DNS** | A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME records | Public DNS |
| **SSL** | Certificate issuer, validity dates, subject alternative names (SANs) | Live TLS handshake |
| **Subdomains** | Subdomains observed in Certificate Transparency logs | crt.sh |
| **Tech stack** | Server, CDN, frameworks, analytics | HTTP headers + HTML |

Each module is **independent** — if WHOIS is rate-limited, you still get DNS, SSL, subdomains, and tech.

### Why this Actor

- **One call, five signals** — stop juggling separate WHOIS / DNS / SSL / subdomain tools
- **Batch mode** — scan up to 20 domains per run
- **Toggle modules** — turn off what you don't need to run faster and pay less
- **Public-data only** — no logins, no scraping behind authentication, no personal-data harvesting
- **Pay per result** — $0.02 per domain successfully analyzed. No subscription.

### Use cases

- **M&A / investment due diligence** — domain age, registrar, infrastructure footprint at a glance
- **Security reconnaissance (authorized)** — map subdomains and tech stack of an in-scope target
- **Brand & domain monitoring** — track SSL expiry and DNS changes
- **Lead research** — qualify a prospect's domain (tech stack, hosting, maturity)
- **Domain investing** — bulk-check registration and expiry data

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `domains` | array of string | — | Up to 20 bare domains (e.g. `stripe.com`) |
| `domain` | string | — | Single-domain alternative |
| `includeWhois` | boolean | — | WHOIS registration (default `true`) |
| `includeDns` | boolean | — | DNS records (default `true`) |
| `includeSsl` | boolean | — | SSL certificate (default `true`) |
| `includeSubdomains` | boolean | — | Subdomain discovery via crt.sh (default `true`) |
| `includeTechStack` | boolean | — | Technology fingerprint (default `true`) |
| `timeout` | integer | — | Per-step timeout, seconds (default `20`) |

```json
{
  "domains": ["stripe.com", "vercel.com"],
  "includeWhois": true,
  "includeDns": true,
  "includeSsl": true,
  "includeSubdomains": true,
  "includeTechStack": true,
  "timeout": 20
}
````

### Output

One dataset item per domain, including `domain`, `registrar`, `registrantCountry`, `createdDate`, `expiryDate`, `nameServers`, `mxRecords`, `dns`, `sslIssuer`, `sslValidTo`, `ssl`, `subdomains`, `subdomainCount`, `technologies`, `errors` (per-module), and `scannedAt`.

### Pricing

**Pay Per Event** — `$0.02` per domain successfully analyzed (a domain returning no data from any module is **not** charged).

### Disclaimer

This Actor is provided for informational purposes only and is not legal, security, or investment advice. Data comes from public records and may contain registry-side inaccuracies or false positives.

# Actor input Schema

## `domains` (type: `array`):

List of domains to scan (max 20). Enter bare domains like 'stripe.com' — no http:// prefix needed.

## `domain` (type: `string`):

Alternative single-domain input. Use 'domains' for batch scanning.

## `includeWhois` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch domain registration data (registrar, creation/expiry dates, registrant country). Personal registrant data is usually redacted by registries.

## `includeDns` (type: `boolean`):

Resolve A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT and CNAME records.

## `includeSsl` (type: `boolean`):

Inspect the live TLS certificate (issuer, validity dates, subject alternative names).

## `includeSubdomains` (type: `boolean`):

Enumerate subdomains from public Certificate Transparency logs (crt.sh).

## `includeTechStack` (type: `boolean`):

Detect server, CDN, frameworks and analytics from HTTP response headers and HTML.

## `timeout` (type: `integer`):

Maximum time to wait for each network step. Default: 20.
