The Whois API retrieves domain registration information for any given domain using the WHOIS protocol.
HTTP GET
Returns domain registration details (e.g. registrar, contact information, expiration date, name servers) for a given domain name.
domain
(required) - valid domain to check (e.g. example.com
). For top-level domains other than .com, a premium subscription is required.
X-Api-Key
(required) - API Key associated with your account.
