## About

## What it does

Domain WHOIS Lookup lets you retrieve a domain’s WHOIS record by sending a `domain` query parameter. It returns the domain name plus the registration details exposed by the lookup service.

Use it when you need to check who owns a domain, which registrar manages it, and whether it has expiration or creation dates on record. The response can include `org`, `country`, `registrar`, `expiry_date`, `creation_date`, `emails`, `status`, and `name_servers`, along with the requested `domain`.

That makes it useful for domain due diligence, support workflows, and basic security checks. For example, you can validate a partner’s domain registration details before onboarding, or look up a site’s registrar and expiry date when tracking renewal risk.

The response is straightforward and machine-friendly, so you can store the record, compare it against internal records, or surface the key fields in your own admin tools.
