Preguntas frecuentes
Any publicly registered domain with a WHOIS server is supported. This includes all common TLDs (.com, .net, .org, .io, etc.) and most country-code TLDs (ccTLDs).
WHOIS data availability depends on the registry and registrar policies. Many registrars redact personal contact information under GDPR or similar privacy regulations. Fields will be omitted from the response when not available.
A 404 not_found response means the domain is either unregistered or the registry returned no data for it.
WHOIS data is fetched live from the authoritative WHOIS servers on each request. There is no caching layer, so the data reflects the current state of the registry.
It means the domain does not have WHOIS data available or is not registered. The batch request itself still succeeds.
Up to 50 domains per request. Sending more than 50 domains returns a 422 validation_failed error.
Yes. Results are returned in the same order as the domains sent in the request body.
