Frequently Asked Questions
How old is the WHOIS record returned?
The age of the data falls within a 0 to 24-hour range. Normally, the data is current, with an age of 0 hours, as we receive very few duplicate domain queries in a day. We store the WHOIS record in cache for a maximum of 24 hours. When you submit a query, we initially verify if the cached WHOIS record is older than 24 hours. If it is, we retrieve the most recent information in real time.
Why do I get inconsistent WHOIS record response?
Sometimes registrant information shows up under WhoisRecord and sometimes it shows up under WhoisRecord→registryData.
For each domain name there are at most 2 WHOIS records, one from registry (eg. Verisign) and one for registrar (eg. GoDaddy). We return the registry WHOIS record under WhoisRecord→registryData and registar WHOIS record under WhoisRecord. For most TLDs other than com/net, only registry WHOIS record exists.
How many domains can I request at a time?
You can request a maximum of 20 domains at once.
