## Pricing

from $0.50 / 1,000 domain lookups

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## RDAP Domain Intelligence — $0.50 per 1,000 domains

Replace brittle WHOIS text parsing with structured Registration Data Access Protocol lookups. The Actor reads IANA's official bootstrap registry, routes each domain to its authoritative RDAP service, and returns one consistent record per domain.

### Output

- Registrar name and IANA ID
- Registration, expiration, and last-change dates
- Nameservers, domain status flags, and DNSSEC delegation state
- Published registrar abuse email when available
- Registry URL, success/error state, and optional raw RDAP JSON

### Example input

```json
{
  "domains": ["google.com", "github.com", "apify.com"],
  "includePublicEntities": false,
  "includeRawRdap": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 5
}
```

### Pricing

The launch price is **$0.0005 per submitted domain** ($0.50 per 1,000), plus a **$0.00005 start event**. Apify platform usage is paid separately by the user. Error rows are explicit so batch pipelines preserve input alignment.

### Responsible use and limits

RDAP is the IETF-standard successor to WHOIS, but registry coverage and rate limits vary by TLD. Many registries redact registrant details. Keep `includePublicEntities` disabled unless those public fields are necessary, and handle any personal data in accordance with registry terms and privacy law. This Actor does not bypass redaction, authentication, or registry rate limits.

# Actor input Schema

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

Add one registered domain or public website URL per line. URLs are reduced to their hostname.

## `includePublicEntities` (type: `boolean`):

Include the role and public organization/name fields returned by the registry. Disabled by default to minimize personal data.

## `includeRawRdap` (type: `boolean`):

Attach the complete registry JSON response. This creates much larger dataset records.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Limit simultaneous authoritative registry requests to reduce rate-limit errors.

## `timeoutSeconds` (type: `integer`):

Stop waiting for an IANA or registry request after this many seconds.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "domains": [
    "google.com",
    "github.com",
    "apify.com"
  ],
  "includePublicEntities": false,
  "includeRawRdap": false,
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "timeoutSeconds": 20
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapesignal_labs/rdap-domain-intelligence").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("scrapesignal_labs/rdap-domain-intelligence").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call scrapesignal_labs/rdap-domain-intelligence --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapesignal_labs/rdap-domain-intelligence"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
