# Check domain expiry dates in bulk

**Use case:** 

Paste a list of domains and get each one's registrar, creation, update and expiry dates, days until expiry, status codes and nameservers from RDAP, plus DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CAA), SPF, DMARC and email provider. Schedule it weekly to get warned before your or your clients' domains expire. No API key needed.

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "apify.com",

    "figma.com",
    "stripe.com"
  ],
  "includeWhois": true,
  "includeDns": true,

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/rakish_bobby_gwr/domain-whois-dns.md

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`).
