Features:

The whois service digs into the whois registry referral chains until the correct whois registrars for the most complete whois data are found.
Our smart mechanism neutralizes the query limits imposed by whois registrars.
Robust online whois parser system parses an array of freeform whois data into well-structured fields (XML and JSON), the formats that can be read by your application.
- The parse system is designed to be very fault tolerant. It would parse out the name, organization and other such details from a freeform human-filled contact address. Try the whois lookup API demo above.
- Smart Parsing support for all whois registrars, constantly tested and improved
- Header and footer texts are stripped for a clean display of the whois data
Parser API has been developed to work over basic HTTP. This helps avoid firewall-related problems of accessing whois servers on port 43.
Returns an indication about the availability of a domain
The whois tool returns registry dates (created date, updated date, and expiry date) in the original format as well as generalized format.
