The Capture WHOIS Records API provides comprehensive and up-to-date information on internet domains through quick and accurate queries. When a domain is entered, the API returns essential data such as registration status (whether it is available or taken), creation date, last update, and other attributes related to the domain's lifetime.
Among the main uses of this API is the verification of domain availability for web projects or digital businesses, as it allows you to immediately determine whether a domain name is free to be registered or already belongs to an organization. In addition, it provides a historical and current overview of the domain through key dates such as the initial registration and the most recent updates, which helps to evaluate the age, reliability, and activity level of a website.
Another important benefit is its application in the field of cybersecurity. By querying domains, security teams can identify potential risks, suspicious domains, or update patterns that could be related to fraud or phishing attempts. Similarly, market analysis companies can use WHOIS data to study domain acquisition trends and the digital presence of competitors.
The API has been designed with a focus on simplicity and scalability, offering structured responses in JSON format that facilitate integration into internal systems, monitoring applications, or domain management platforms. Thanks to its lightweight and fast architecture, it is possible to execute massive queries without compromising performance.
In conclusion, the Capture WHOIS Records API is a reliable and versatile solution that optimizes domain management and analysis. Whether for registering new brands, protecting digital assets, or researching the evolution of web pages, this API is an essential tool for any organization seeking security, transparency, and control in its digital environment.
Provides WHOIS domain data, including availability, registration and renewal dates, useful for validation, security, analysis, and monitoring.

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.

But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
