The Global Domain Identity Verification API returns comprehensive domain information, including domain age, creation date, expiration date, last updated date, and complete WHOIS records. This data helps users assess the legitimacy and history of a domain.
Key fields in the response include "domain_age," "creation_date," "expiration_date," "last_updated," and "whois_records." Each field provides essential insights into the domain's history and status.
The response data is structured in a JSON format, with each key representing a specific attribute of the domain. This organization allows for easy parsing and integration into applications.
The endpoint provides information such as domain age, creation and expiration dates, last updated date, and full WHOIS records. This data is crucial for evaluating domain legitimacy and ownership history.
The primary parameter for the endpoint is the domain name (URL) you wish to query. Ensure the domain is correctly formatted (e.g., example.com) to receive accurate results.
Data accuracy is maintained through regular updates from reliable WHOIS databases and registrars. The API employs quality checks to ensure the information reflects the most current domain status.
Typical use cases include cybersecurity assessments, digital marketing strategies, brand monitoring, domain acquisition analysis, and competitive research. This data helps users make informed decisions regarding domains.
Users can analyze the returned data to identify domain legitimacy, track ownership changes, assess domain age for SEO purposes, and inform decisions on domain purchases or brand strategies.
The API provides detailed WHOIS information, including registrant contact details, registrar information, and domain status. This data helps users verify ownership and understand the domain's registration context.
The API currently supports querying one domain per request. For multiple domains, you will need to make separate requests for each domain name to retrieve their respective details.
The "last_updated" field indicates the most recent date when the domain's registration details were modified. This information is crucial for assessing the currency of the domain's ownership and status.
If the API returns incomplete data, it may be due to privacy settings or restrictions from the domain registrar. You can try querying a different domain or check the WHOIS database directly for more information.
The API can query most publicly registered domains. However, certain domains may have privacy protection enabled, which can limit the availability of specific WHOIS details.
Domain age can be used to assess the credibility of a website; older domains are often seen as more trustworthy. This information can inform SEO strategies and help identify potential risks in domain acquisitions.
The "domain_status" field indicates the current state of the domain, such as whether it is active, expired, or on hold. Understanding this status is essential for evaluating the domain's usability and ownership rights.
For domains with privacy protection, the API may return limited WHOIS information, omitting personal details of the registrant. Users should be aware that privacy settings can affect the completeness of the data retrieved.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
