## 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

## Domain Intelligence — WHOIS, DNS, Tech Stack & Lead Enrichment API

**Enrich any domain in one call.** Get WHOIS registration data, DNS records, MX records, IP address, HTTP headers, page metadata, and a full **technology stack detection** (React, Shopify, WordPress, Next.js, and more). Built for **lead enrichment**, prospect research, and B2B data pipelines. No API key required.

> **$0.005 per domain.** No subscription.

### Why use this domain lookup?

When you have a website but need to know *who's behind it and what they're built on*, this actor turns a bare domain into a rich profile. Perfect as the **enrichment step** in a lead-generation pipeline: feed it the domains from a Google Maps or LinkedIn scrape, and get back the signals that let you score and segment accounts.

### What it returns

- 🌐 **DNS** — A record / IP address, nameservers
- 📧 **MX records** — mail servers (know if they use Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, etc.)
- 🏷️ **HTTP data** — status code, server header, `x-powered-by`, content type
- 📄 **Page metadata** — title, meta description
- 🛠️ **Tech stack detection** — React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Svelte, Bootstrap, Tailwind, jQuery, Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace
- 🔎 **WHOIS** — registrar, creation/expiry dates, country, status

### Input

```json
{
  "domain": "stripe.com",
  "includeWhois": true,
  "includeTech": true
}
```

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `domain` | string | Domain to research (e.g. `example.com`) |
| `includeWhois` | boolean | Fetch WHOIS registration data. Default `true` |
| `includeTech` | boolean | Detect the technology stack from HTML. Default `true` |

### Output

```json
{
  "domain": "stripe.com",
  "ip": "34.192.0.1",
  "mxRecords": ["aspmx.l.google.com"],
  "nameservers": ["ns1.example.com"],
  "httpStatus": 200,
  "server": "nginx",
  "poweredBy": "",
  "title": "Stripe | Payment Processing Platform",
  "description": "Online payment processing for internet businesses.",
  "techStack": ["React", "Next.js"]
}
```

### Use cases

- **Lead enrichment** — turn a domain column into industry/tech signals for scoring
- **ICP filtering** — target companies on Shopify, WordPress, or a specific stack
- **Competitor research** — see what technologies a site runs
- **Sales prospecting** — know a prospect's mail provider and infrastructure before outreach
- **Domain due diligence** — check age, registrar, and DNS health

### Pipeline fit

1. **Discover** domains with the Google Maps Lead Scraper or a SERP scrape
2. **Enrich** each domain with this actor (tech stack + mail provider + metadata)
3. **Score** accounts by ICP fit
4. **Push** into HubSpot, Salesforce, or Clay via webhook

### Pricing

- **$0.005 per domain**
- No subscription, no minimum

### FAQ

**Does it need an API key?** No.

**What tech can it detect?** 12+ frameworks and platforms including React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Svelte, Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Bootstrap, Tailwind, and jQuery.

**Can I batch many domains?** Run it once per domain via the API, or schedule/loop through a list.

**Export formats?** JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS.

# 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("velveted_staysail/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);
});

# 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 the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("velveted_staysail/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 velveted_staysail/domain-intelligence --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,velveted_staysail/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).
