The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 Intelligence — Bulk DNS, WHOIS & SSL Lookup Turn a list of domains into clean, structured intelligence in one run. For every domain you get **one JSON row** with live **DNS records**, **WHOIS registration**, and **SSL certificate** details. No login, no cookies, no proxy setup — paste domains, get data. Great for **lead enrichment**, **security & infrastructure recon**, **SSL certificate expiry monitoring**, and **domain portfolio audits**. ### What you get per domain | Group | Fields | |---|---| | **DNS** | A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME records | | **WHOIS** | registrar, creation / expiry / updated dates, domain status, name servers | | **SSL** | certificate subject, issuer, `valid_from` / `valid_to`, SAN list, serial | Each group can be toggled off to save cost. Lookups use public resolvers (Cloudflare / Google) for consistent, deterministic results. ### Use cases - **Lead enrichment** — turn a list of company domains into registrar, hosting, and certificate signals for scoring and routing. - **SSL / certificate expiry monitoring** — track `valid_to` across a whole domain portfolio and catch expiring certs before they break production. - **Security & recon** — name-server footprint, WHOIS history, and cert issuer for a list of domains, in one structured dataset. - **Domain portfolio & M&A audits** — registrar, expiry, and DNS posture across hundreds of domains at once. ### Input ```json { "domains": ["example.com", "https://www.github.com"], "includeDns": true, "includeWhois": true, "includeSsl": true } ```` Full URLs are accepted and normalized to the registrable host. Leave `domains` empty to run the built-in sample. ### Output (one item per domain) ```json { "domain": "github.com", "dns": { "A": ["140.82.112.3"], "NS": ["dns1.p08.nsone.net", "..."], "MX": ["..."], "TXT": ["..."], "AAAA": [], "CNAME": [] }, "whois": { "registrar": "MarkMonitor Inc.", "created": "2007-10-09T...", "expires": "2026-10-09T...", "status": ["clientTransferProhibited"], "name_servers": ["dns1.p08.nsone.net"] }, "ssl": { "subject": "github.com", "issuer": "Sectigo Limited", "valid_from": "...", "valid_to": "...", "san": "DNS:github.com, DNS:www.github.com", "serial": "..." }, "queried_at": "2026-05-31T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML, or pull via the Apify API. ### Pricing Pay per result: **$0.01 per domain enriched**. No monthly rental, no platform usage fees — you pay only for the domains you process. ### How it works (and why it's low-maintenance) Lookups are protocol-based — DNS resolution, a TLS handshake for the certificate, and WHOIS over port 43 — not HTML scraping. There are no page layouts to break when websites change, so results stay stable over time. Unresolvable record types return an empty array rather than failing the row. ### FAQ **Do I need proxies or API keys?** No. Paste domains and run. **What's the difference vs a single-domain WHOIS site?** This is built for **bulk** — hundreds or thousands of domains in one run, with DNS + WHOIS + SSL combined into one structured row per domain, exportable and API-accessible. **Can I monitor SSL expiry on a schedule?** Yes — schedule the Actor and watch the `ssl.valid_to` field across your domain list. **Does it handle full URLs?** Yes, `https://www.example.com/path` is normalized to `example.com`. *** Apache-2.0 · by [weiseer](https://github.com/weiseer) # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): List of domains to enrich, e.g. example.com. Full URLs (https://www.example.com/x) are accepted and normalized to the registrable host. ## `includeDns` (type: `boolean`): Resolve A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME records. ## `includeWhois` (type: `boolean`): Registrar, creation/expiry/updated dates, status, name servers. ## `includeSsl` (type: `boolean`): Subject, issuer, validity window, SAN list, serial (live TLS handshake on port 443). ## `resolvers` (type: `array`): Public DNS resolver IPs to query. Defaults to Cloudflare + Google for deterministic results. ## Actor input object example ```json { "domains": [ "example.com", "github.com" ], "includeDns": true, "includeWhois": true, "includeSsl": true, "resolvers": [ "1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8" ] } ``` # 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": [ "example.com", "github.com" ], "resolvers": [ "1.1.1.1", "8.8.8.8" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("weiseer/domain-intel-scraper").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 📖?
