Unique WHOIS Historical Records

Gain access to a vast database of billions of historical WHOIS records, offering a unique repository of domain data. Our API meticulously captures and stores only meaningful changes in WHOIS information. A new record is added to the database whenever there is an update in key fields such as domain registration details, contact information, registrar details, name servers, or domain status. This ensures that each WHOIS record in our system accurately reflects significant updates, providing you with precise and relevant historical insights. Whether you are tracing a domain's evolution or verifying its ownership history, our API is an indispensable tool for comprehensive domain analysis.

Comprehensive TLD & SLD Coverage

Under inactive TLDs. Additionally, the API supports the retrieval of historical WHOIS data for dropped domains up to the date they were active, ensuring you have access to a complete historical record. Whether you are researching the history of current domains or investigating domains that are no longer in use, our API delivers the critical data you need for comprehensive domain research.

How to Guides

WHOIS Lookup by Domain Name

To retrieve historical WHOIS information for a domain name, simply include the domainName parameter in your API request. For sub-domains, such as 'api.apifreaks.com', the API will return historical WHOIS data for the root domain, 'apifreaks.com', as sub-domains do not have their own WHOIS records and rely on the root domain's data.

When querying a second-level domain (SLD), like 'uet.edu.pk', our API provides historical WHOIS information specific to that SLD. SLDs, often composed of three letters like 'edu', are managed by separate registries with distinct WHOIS servers. Consequently, for domains like 'uet.edu.pk', the historical WHOIS response will focus on 'uet.edu.pk' rather than its parent domain 'edu.pk'.

WHOIS Lookup by URL

You can also obtain historical WHOIS information by providing a URL to the API. Our system will automatically extract the domain name from the URL and use it to retrieve all relevant WHOIS history data from our database. This feature simplifies the process, allowing you to access domain details without the need to manually extract the domain name.

curl --location 'https://api.apifreaks.com/v1.0/domain/whois/history?domainName=https%3A%2F%2Fapifreaks.com%2F&apiKey=API-KEY'

Pricing

To use the WHOIS history API, API credits are required. Charges apply only for successful queries, indicated by a 2xx status code. If a request results in a 4xx or 5xx status code, no credits will be deducted, and any credits previously charged will be refunded.

For each successful request, 35 credits will be charged for WHOIS history. Utilize the Credits Usage API to efficiently monitor your recent consumption of both one-off and subscription credits. This API provides a streamlined way to track and manage your credit usage, ensuring you stay informed about your remaining balance and can optimize your resource allocation effectively.
