It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. 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 examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. 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`). # README ## Domain, DNS & WHOIS Intelligence Everything public about a domain, in one row: **who registered it and when, what DNS says, whether the SSL certificate is healthy, and what the website answers.** Registration data comes from **RDAP** — the registries' own JSON service that replaced WHOIS text. No scraping, no blocking, no rate-limit games. ### What you get per domain - **Registration** — registrar, creation date, expiry date, last change, domain age, days until expiry, status codes - **DNS** — A / AAAA / MX / NS / TXT, plus SPF and DMARC records - **Providers** — DNS host (Cloudflare, Route 53, GoDaddy…) and mail host (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Naver Works…) - **SSL** — issuer, valid from/to, days until expiry, covered hostnames - **Website** — HTTP status, final URL after redirects, server header, HSTS, page title ### What people use it for - **Lead qualification** — a domain registered last week with no MX is not a real company. - **Security and compliance checks** — missing SPF or DMARC, expiring certificates, weak headers across a portfolio. - **Domain portfolio monitoring** — `expiringWithinDays` returns only what is about to lapse. - **Competitor research** — which mail and DNS providers a market uses. ### Input | Field | What it does | |---|---| | `domains` | Domains, URLs or even email addresses — all reduced to the domain | | `datasetId` + `datasetDomainField` | Or read them from another Actor's output | | `includeRegistration`, `includeCertificate`, `includeWebsite` | Turn off what you don't need | | `onlyRegisteredDomains` | Drop unregistered names | | `expiringWithinDays` | Only domains expiring soon | ### Output ```json { "domain": "stripe.com", "isRegistered": true, "rdapAvailable": true, "registrar": "SafeNames Ltd.", "createdAt": "1995-09-12T04:00:00Z", "updatedAt": "2025-10-01T01:39:51Z", "expiresAt": "2027-09-11T04:00:00Z", "domainAgeDays": 11331, "domainAgeYears": 31, "expiresInDays": 355, "statuses": [ "client delete prohibited", "client transfer prohibited", "client update prohibited" ], "nameserversRdap": [ "ns-1087.awsdns-07.org", "ns-1882.awsdns-43.co.uk", "ns-423.awsdns-52.com", "ns-705.awsdns-24.net" ], "resolves": true, "ipv4": [ "198.202.176.231", "198.137.150.231" ], "ipv6": [], "mx": [ "aspmx.l.google.com", "alt2.aspmx.l.google.com", "alt1.aspmx.l.google.com", "aspmx2.googlemail.com", "aspmx3.googlemail.com" ], "nameservers": [ "ns-705.awsdns-24.net", "ns-1087.awsdns-07.org", "ns-1882.awsdns-43.co.uk", "ns-423.awsdns-52.com" ], "spf": null, "dmarc": "v=DMARC1; p=reject; pct=100; fo=1; rua=mailto:dmarc-reports@stripe.com; ruf=mailto:dmarc-forensics@stripe.com;", "dnsProvider": "AWS Route 53", "mailProvider": "Google Workspace", "httpsWorks": true, "certIssuer": "DigiCert Inc", "certSubject": "stripe.com", "certValidFrom": "2026-07-28T00:00:00.000Z", "certValidTo": "2026-11-12T23:59:59.000Z", "certExpiresInDays": 53, "certAltNames": [ "stripe.com", "www.stripe.com" ], "httpStatus": 200, "finalUrl": "https://stripe.com/", "redirectsToOtherDomain": null, "serverHeader": "nginx", "poweredBy": null, "hasHsts": true, "title": "Stripe | Financial Infrastructure to Grow Your Revenue", "checkedAt": "2026-09-20T12:37:34.057Z" } ``` ### Speed and cost 5 domains took **7 seconds**. Registration, DNS, SSL and the website are fetched in parallel for each domain, and 10 domains are processed at a time. ### Related Actors - [Email Verifier & List Cleaner](https://apify.com/tindacloud/email-verifier) — clean the addresses on those domains - [Website Contact & Email Scraper](https://apify.com/tindacloud/website-contact-scraper) — emails, phones and tech stack from the sites - [LinkedIn Company Scraper](https://apify.com/tindacloud/linkedin-company-scraper) — the company behind the domain # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): Domains or URLs — “stripe.com”, “https://www.apify.com/store”, even an email address. Everything is reduced to the domain. ## `datasetId` (type: `string`): Take domains from an existing dataset — for example the output of the Website Contact & Email Scraper. ## `datasetDomainField` (type: `string`): Which field of that dataset holds the domain. ## `includeRegistration` (type: `boolean`): Registrar, creation and expiry dates, domain age and status codes. ## `includeCertificate` (type: `boolean`): Issuer, validity dates, days until expiry and covered hostnames. ## `includeWebsite` (type: `boolean`): HTTP status, final URL after redirects, server header and page title. ## `onlyRegisteredDomains` (type: `boolean`): Drop domains that are not registered — handy when checking a list of candidate names. ## `expiringWithinDays` (type: `integer`): Keep only domains whose registration expires within this many days. Leave empty to keep all. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Total limit. ## Actor input object example ```json { "domains": [ "stripe.com", "apify.com", "naver.com" ], "datasetDomainField": "domain", "includeRegistration": true, "includeCertificate": true, "includeWebsite": true, "onlyRegisteredDomains": false, "maxResults": 10000 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All results in a table view. # 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": [ "stripe.com", "apify.com", "naver.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("tindacloud/domain-dns-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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/5XE5ml2lDelFh4W5i/builds/qhbL95mpINVNlq1uk/openapi.json
