Domain Intelligence — WHOIS, DNS, SSL, IP Geo & Email Security Score

One domain in. A complete intelligence report out.

Most domain tools return raw records and leave the interpretation to you. This Actor returns a fully enriched, multi-layer intelligence report in a single run — covering everything from WHOIS registration history to SSL certificate validity, IP geolocation, ASN ownership, DNS resolver flags, mail provider detection, and a scored email security audit broken down by SPF, DMARC, MX, and platform verification tokens.

No stitching together five different APIs. No parsing raw WHOIS text. One input, one clean structured JSON output.

What you get

WHOIS & Registration Intelligence

Full registration history and status for any domain:

• Registrar name and IANA ID
• Registered date, expiry date, and last updated date (ISO 8601)
• Domain age in days and years
• Days remaining until expiry
• Expired status flag
• DNSSEC enabled status
• Full list of authoritative nameservers
• EPP status codes (e.g. client transfer prohibited, server delete prohibited)
• Registrar abuse contact email and phone

DNS Records

Complete DNS record set with provider detection:

• A records (IPv4)
• AAAA records (IPv6)
• MX records with priority, exchange hostname, and TTL
• NS nameserver records
• CNAME records
• Detected DNS provider (e.g. Google Cloud DNS, Cloudflare, Yahoo DNS, Custom / Self-hosted)
• Detected mail provider (e.g. Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Yahoo Mail, Custom / Self-hosted)
• Record TTL values

DNS Resolver Flags

Low-level DNS response metadata from the resolver:

• Status — DNS response status code (0 = no error, 3 = NXDOMAIN)
• TC — truncated flag
• RD — recursion desired flag
• RA — recursion available flag
• AD — authenticated data / DNSSEC validation flag
• CD — checking disabled flag
• Question — the DNS question section sent to the resolver
• Authority — authority section records returned (SOA/NS) when applicable
• Comment — resolver comment indicating which upstream server answered

IP Intelligence & Geolocation

Full IP-level intelligence on where the domain resolves:

• Primary IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
• All resolved IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (full list)
• Total record counts
• City, country, continent, postal code, and state/subdivision
• Latitude and longitude coordinates
• Registered country
• ASN number and organisation name

SSL Certificate

Complete TLS/SSL certificate inspection:

• Issuing authority (country, organisation, common name)
• Certificate serial number and SHA1 fingerprint
• Signature algorithm
• Subject Alternative Names (SANs)
• Valid from and valid until dates
• Total validity days and days remaining
• cert_valid and cert_exp boolean flags
• HSTS header enabled status

Email Security Score

A numeric score from 0 to 100 with a label (Poor / Fair / Good / Excellent) broken down across four categories:

SPF Analysis

• Record present flag
• Raw SPF record value
• Policy type: pass, softfail, fail, redirect, or neutral
• hasMx, hasRedirect, redirectTarget
• All included domains
• Sender check result

DMARC Analysis

• Record present flag
• Raw DMARC record value
• Policy: none, quarantine, or reject
• Subdomain policy
• Enforcement percentage
• Aggregate report email (rua) and forensic report email (ruf)
• DKIM and SPF alignment modes
• Overall enforcement level: strict or relaxed

MX Analysis

• Count of MX records found
• Score contribution

Platform Verification Tokens

• All domain ownership verification tokens found in TXT records
• Platforms detected include: Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Zoom, GlobalSign, DocuSign, Apple, Cisco, OneTrust, and more
• All unclassified TXT records returned separately
• Total TXT record count

Use cases

Developers & engineers Enrich domain data in your apps, pipelines, CRMs, and internal tools without stitching together multiple APIs. Get everything in one structured JSON response.

Security & compliance teams Audit any domain's full security posture — SSL validity, DNSSEC status, SPF/DMARC enforcement level, and resolver flags — before trusting inbound email or onboarding a new vendor.

Marketing & growth teams Before reaching out to a prospect domain, verify their email infrastructure is healthy. A domain with no DMARC and a softfail SPF is a deliverability risk. Know before you send.

Agency owners Run full domain health checks for clients as part of onboarding, technical audits, or ongoing monitoring. Export results as JSON or CSV directly from the dataset.

Domain investors Instantly assess registration age, expiry timeline, WHOIS status, SSL health, and IP footprint for any domain you're evaluating.

---

Integrate via API

Trigger a run and get results back synchronously:

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/obicodes~domain-intel/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"domain": "example.com"}'

Results are stored in Apify's dataset and downloadable as JSON or CSV from the dataset tab.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing:

• $0.01 per domain result
• $0.05 Actor start fee (charged once per run)

A single domain lookup costs $0.06 total — that's a complete 6-layer intelligence report for less than a cent.
