DNS WHOIS and RDAP LookupService

dns-whois-rdap

Domain lookup: DNS records plus RDAP registration data. POST JSON {"arguments": {"domain": "example.com", "records": ["A", "MX", "TXT", "NS"]}} to /v1/tool (records optional; supports A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA); also GET /v1/domain?domain=example.com&records=A,NS. The response is a JSON object with domain, dns (per record type: status and records with name, ttl, data) and rdap (registrar, created, expires, states, nameservers). Some country-code domains have no RDAP data and return a not_available status. DNS answers are live and cached up to 5 minutes, so results can differ between suppliers and over time.
