WHOIS Information

Frequently Asked Questions

What is WHOIS?

WHOIS is a protocol for querying databases that store registered domain name information. It reveals the domain registrant, registration and expiration dates, nameservers, and registrar details.

Why is WHOIS information sometimes hidden?

Many domain registrars offer WHOIS privacy protection that masks personal information. GDPR and other privacy regulations have also led to redacted WHOIS data for domains registered by individuals.

What's the difference between WHOIS and RDAP?

RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) is the modern replacement for WHOIS. It provides structured JSON responses, better internationalization support, and more consistent data formats across registrars.

Is there an API for WHOIS lookups?

Yes! Use GET /v1/whois?domain=example.com to query WHOIS data via API. Our API parses RDAP data and provides normalized, structured responses. View API documentation.
