What is WHOIS Data?

WHOIS data is a public record of who owns a domain name and how to get in contact with them. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) requires accredited registrars to publish the registrant’s contact information, domain name creation and expiration dates, and other information in the WHOIS listing.

Our WHOIS Data API provides programmatic access to this information, allowing you to:

• Identify Domain Owners: Find out who is behind a website.
• Investigate Malicious Domains: Track down the source of phishing and other malicious activities.
• Protect Your Brand: Monitor for brand infringement and cybersquatting.
• Automate Domain Research: Integrate domain ownership data into your applications.
