The Domain Whois Data API allows you to access detailed information about any domain name quickly and in a structured manner. This API is designed for users who need to obtain complete WHOIS data for real-time domain management, analysis, or verification.
With this API, you can obtain up-to-date WHOIS records in a clear and standardized JSON format, eliminating the complexity of performing manual queries or interpreting hard-to-read text outputs. The data provided includes information about the registrar, domain creation and expiration dates, name servers (DNS), domain status, DNSSEC policy, registration identifiers, and registrar abuse contact details.
In short, the Domain Whois Data API is an essential resource for any project that needs to validate, analyze, or monitor internet domains. With it, you'll save time, obtain accurate data, and improve the security and efficiency of your applications.
Retrieve complete WHOIS data for any domain, including registrar, creation and expiry dates, DNS servers, domain status, and abuse contact details.

The Whois Lookup endpoint returns comprehensive WHOIS data for a specified domain, including registrar details, domain creation and expiry dates, DNS servers, domain status, and registrar abuse contact information.
Key fields in the response include "registrar," "creationDate," "expiryDate," "dnsServers," "domainStatus," and "abuseContact," providing essential information for domain management and analysis.
The response data is structured in a JSON format, with each key-value pair representing specific WHOIS information. This structured format allows for easy parsing and integration into applications.
The Whois Lookup endpoint provides information such as registrar details, domain registration dates, DNS server information, domain status, and contact details for reporting abuse.
Users can customize their requests by specifying the domain name in the endpoint URL. Additional parameters may be included to filter or refine the data returned, depending on the API's capabilities.
The data is sourced from WHOIS databases maintained by domain registrars and registries, ensuring that the information is accurate and up-to-date for effective domain management.
Typical use cases include domain verification, monitoring domain status, conducting security audits, and analyzing domain ownership for research or competitive analysis.
If the response contains partial or empty results, users should check the domain name for accuracy or consider that the domain may not be registered. Implementing error handling in applications can help manage such scenarios effectively.

To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
