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 WHOIS & SSL Inspector Look up the full registration profile and live SSL certificate of any domain — no API key. Pass a list of domains and get one clean row each with registration date, domain age, expiry, registrar, name servers, DNSSEC, and the live TLS certificate (issuer, validity window, and days until expiry). ### What you get - **Registrar** and its IANA ID - **Created / updated / expiry dates** (from RDAP, the modern successor to WHOIS) - **Domain age** in days and **days until expiry** - **Status codes** (e.g. `client transfer prohibited`) and **DNSSEC** flag - **Name servers** - **SSL certificate** — subject, issuer organization & CN, valid-from / valid-to, **days until certificate expiry**, SAN list, whether the chain validated, and the negotiated TLS protocol ### Use cases - **Lead enrichment** — append domain age and registrar to a prospect list; newly registered domains often mean brand-new companies - **Churn & renewal signals** — flag domains or SSL certificates expiring soon - **Security & compliance audits** — confirm certificate issuers, expiry, and TLS versions across a portfolio - **Brand & domain monitoring** — watch registrar, status, and name-server changes - **Sales prospecting** — segment a domain list by registrar, hosting name servers, or domain age ### How to use 1. Paste one or more **domains** (e.g. `apify.com`) — URLs and `www.` are handled for you 2. Leave **Check SSL Certificate** on to read the live TLS cert (turn off for RDAP-only, faster runs) 3. Optionally set **Max Items** to cap how many domains are inspected (`0` = all) 4. Run the actor — results land in the **Dataset** tab 5. Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets directly from the Apify console #### Example input ```json { "domains": ["apify.com", "google.com", "github.com"], "checkSsl": true, "maxItems": 0 } ```` ### Output format One dataset record per domain: ```json { "domain": "apify.com", "registrar": "Amazon Registrar, Inc.", "registrarIanaId": "468", "createdDate": "2009-06-02T17:14:10.000Z", "updatedDate": "2026-05-16T16:53:04.000Z", "expiryDate": "2035-06-02T17:14:10.000Z", "domainAgeDays": 6208, "expiresInDays": 3288, "statuses": ["client transfer prohibited"], "nameServers": ["NS-1225.AWSDNS-25.ORG", "NS-449.AWSDNS-56.COM"], "dnssec": false, "ssl": { "subjectCN": "apify.com", "issuerOrg": "Amazon", "issuerCN": "Amazon RSA 2048 M02", "validFrom": "2026-04-01T00:00:00.000Z", "validTo": "2027-05-01T23:59:59.000Z", "daysUntilExpiry": 334, "san": ["apify.com", "*.apify.com"], "authorized": true, "authError": null, "protocol": "TLSv1.3" }, "rdapError": null, "sslError": null } ``` ### Notes - Registration data comes from **RDAP**, the IETF-standard replacement for WHOIS. Coverage is excellent for gTLDs (`.com`, `.net`, `.org`, `.io`, …); some country-code TLDs don't publish RDAP, in which case `rdapError` is set and SSL data is still returned. - SSL details reflect the certificate the host presents on port 443. `authorized` is `false` (with `authError`) for self-signed or otherwise invalid chains — the certificate is still reported. # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): Domains to inspect, e.g. 'apify.com'. URLs and a leading 'www.' are accepted and stripped. One row per domain is pushed to the dataset. ## `checkSsl` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, open a TLS connection to port 443 and read the live SSL certificate (issuer, validity, days until expiry). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of domains to inspect. 0 = inspect all domains in the list. ## Actor input object example ```json { "domains": [ "apify.com", "google.com" ], "checkSsl": true, "maxItems": 0 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): Each record: { domain, registrar, registrarIanaId, createdDate, updatedDate, expiryDate, domainAgeDays, expiresInDays, statuses, nameServers, dnssec, ssl: { subjectCN, issuerOrg, issuerCN, validFrom, validTo, daysUntilExpiry, san, authorized, authError, protocol }, rdapError, sslError } # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "domains": [ "apify.com", "google.com" ], "maxItems": 0 }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("seemuapps/domain-whois-ssl-inspector").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
