Bulk Whois API Documentation

Bulk WHOIS API

The Bulk WHOIS API gives you two ways to process domains at scale. For real-time pipeline integration, submit up to 100 domains in a single POST request and receive a full structured WHOIS record for each registrar and registrant contacts, dates, name servers, and status codes in the same normalized format as the single-domain live WHOIS API. Domain names are submitted as a JSON array in the request body.
For larger batch jobs, use the file upload mode and upload a plain text file with one domain per line and process up to 3 million domains in a single job. Results are delivered as a compressed CSV to your registered email address when processing completes.
