🌐 RDAP Domain Lookup Scraper (WHOIS Replacement)
🚀 Bulk domain registration data in seconds. Hit the modern RDAP protocol for any list of domains and pull back registrar, registration date, expiration, nameservers, registrant, DNSSEC, abuse contact, and status flags. No WHOIS rate-limit dance, no per-TLD parser.
The RDAP Domain Lookup Scraper uses the IANA RDAP bootstrap to route each domain to the correct authoritative registry server (Verisign for .com/.net, PIR for .org, Identity Digital for .cloud, and so on) and parses the structured JSON response into a clean flat record. Every lookup returns registrar, registration date, expiration date, last-changed date, nameservers, registrant entities, registrar IANA ID, abuse contact, DNSSEC delegation, status flags, and the underlying RDAP server URL.
RDAP is the official IETF successor to WHOIS and is mandated by ICANN for every gTLD. Coverage spans the global gTLD namespace plus the ccTLDs and new gTLDs that publish RDAP servers (most do). For TLDs that have not yet published RDAP (a small set including .io and .dev), the Actor records a clean error row rather than guessing.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Domain investors, brand-protection teams, threat-intel analysts, M&A diligence, registrar resellers, security researchers | Bulk WHOIS replacement, expiration monitoring, registrar attribution, abuse-contact harvesting, DNSSEC audits, domain portfolio tracking |
📋 What the RDAP Lookup Scraper does
Four lookup workflows in one Actor:
- 🌐 Bulk WHOIS replacement. Resolve any list of domains across any TLD that publishes RDAP.
- 🕒 Expiration monitoring. Pull registration and expiration dates to alert ahead of renewal.
- 🏢 Registrar attribution. See which registrar (and IANA ID) controls each domain.
- 🛡️ Abuse contact harvesting. Get the registrar's published abuse email and phone for every domain.
Each lookup returns the domain's RDAP ldhName, the registry server hit, registration/expiration/last-changed dates, nameservers, registrar, registrar IANA ID, abuse role contact, status flags, raw entity blocks, DNSSEC delegation, and the RDAP server URL used for the resolution.
💡 Why it matters: WHOIS is being deprecated. RDAP is the modern, structured replacement, but every TLD has its own server and quirks. This Actor handles the bootstrap, the redirects, and the JSON parsing so you never write registry-specific code again.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: abuse, domain, entities, events, expirationDate, lastChangedDate, ldhName, nameservers, rdapServer, registrar, registrarIanaId, registrationDate, registry, scrapedAt, secureDNS, status, unicodeName. All 17 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
