Domain intelligence in one call. WHOIS, DNS, SSL certificates, and tech stack detection — normalized into clean JSON so your agent doesn't have to parse registrar HTML.
Your agent needs to know who owns a domain, what DNS it uses, whether the SSL cert is valid, and what tech stack it runs. Normally that's four different tools and four parsing jobs. WHOIS does it all in one call and returns structured JSON.
Registrant info, registrar, creation/expiry dates, name servers. Uses RDAP first (modern, structured), falls back to WHOIS CLI for edge cases.
A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT records via dig. Know where the domain points before your agent sends a request there.
Issuer, expiry, subject alternative names. Paid tier adds full cert chain details. Never get caught by an expired cert again.
Server headers, framework detection, CDN identification. Paid tier adds deeper header analysis. Know what you're talking to before you talk to it.
All data comes from public sources. We aggregate, normalize, and cache it — so your agent gets consistent JSON instead of scraping registrar websites.
Registration Data Access Protocol. The modern replacement for WHOIS. Structured JSON from IANA-registered RDAP servers. Covers 90%+ of TLDs.
Legacy WHOIS protocol via whois command. Used when RDAP doesn't have coverage for a TLD. Raw output parsed into structured fields.
Standard DNS resolution via dig. A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT records. Resolves from our VPS in Nuremberg for consistent results.
SSL certificate inspection via openssl s_client. Issuer, expiry, SANs, protocol version. Paid tier adds full chain verification.
