Domain Inspector — WHOIS/RDAP, DNS & SSL

Everything about a domain in one row. Give the Actor a list of domains and it returns each one's registrar, registration & expiry dates, status and nameservers (via RDAP), full DNS records, and SSL certificate details — over public sources, no login and no API key.

Perfect for domain portfolio monitoring, expiry/SSL alerting, security audits, due-diligence and lead enrichment.

What you get per domain

Field	Notes
registrar	Registrar name (RDAP).
createdDate, updatedDate, expiryDate	Registration lifecycle dates.
statuses	EPP status codes (e.g. clientTransferProhibited).
nameservers	Authoritative nameservers from the registry.
dns	{ a, aaaa, mx, ns, txt, cname } resolved live.
ssl	{ issuer, subject, validFrom, validTo, daysToExpiry, authorized }.
registrableDomain	The eTLD+1 used for the registry lookup.

Input

{
  "domains": ["google.com", "example.co.uk", "apify.com"],
  "includeRdap": true,
  "includeDns": true,
  "includeSsl": true
}

• domains — domains (or URLs — the host is used), one per line.
• includeRdap / includeDns / includeSsl — toggle each data source (all on by default).
• maxConcurrency — domains inspected in parallel.
• proxyConfiguration — optional; only if RDAP rate-limits your IP.

FAQ

Do I need an account or API key? No. The Actor queries public sources — RDAP (modern WHOIS), live DNS, and TLS certificates — with no login or API key.

How many domains can I inspect per run? There's no fixed cap. maxConcurrency controls how many domains are looked up in parallel, and each domain is time-capped so one slow lookup can't stall a bulk run.

Is domain inspection legal? Yes. The Actor collects only publicly available registration, DNS, and certificate data. RDAP and DNS are designed to be publicly queryable.

What's the output format? A JSON dataset with one row per domain (registrar, lifecycle dates, statuses, nameservers, DNS records, SSL details). Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Apify Console or API.

Can I filter or limit results? Yes. Toggle includeRdap, includeDns, and includeSsl to choose which data sources to query, and use maxConcurrency to tune throughput.

Notes

Registration data comes from RDAP (the modern WHOIS); a few TLDs expose limited fields. Each domain is hard-capped in time so one slow lookup can't stall a bulk run. Only publicly available registration/DNS/certificate data is collected.
