About Who.is

Who.is is a lookup website for domain names and IP addresses. Users can search registration information for a domain, including registrant, registrar, and registration dates, using the WHOIS and RDAP protocols. The site also shows DNS records, nameserver details, IP address ownership and network data, and whether a website is reachable at the time of the check.

The homepage describes paid services for researchers, investigators, and site owners. These include a historical domain report, website monitoring for uptime, DNS changes, and TLS certificate expiry, and API access that returns parsed WHOIS and RDAP data as JSON. Pricing is not stated in the source, and the homepage does not list the plan terms for each service.

Who.is FAQ

What is the difference between WHOIS and RDAP?
WHOIS is a widely used internet protocol for querying databases of registered users of domain names, IP addresses, and autonomous systems. RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) is described as the modern successor to WHOIS, offering a standardized, secure, and more structured way to access registration data.
What does the Pro website monitoring service check?
According to the homepage, it checks uptime, DNS changes, and TLS certificate expiry for up to 10 domains from one setup. It sends notifications when a site goes down, its DNS changes, or its certificate nears expiry.
Is there an API for this data?
The homepage describes Pro API Access, which returns parsed WHOIS, normalized RDAP, and DNS and TLS certificate history for any domain as JSON over HTTPS. It states that you can start on the free tier with no card required.
