Domain Verify Tools API

The Domain Verify Tools API is a comprehensive tool for verifying the availability of domains, MX records, A records, and WHOIS data, providing all the information in one place.

About the API:  

Domain Verify Tools API is a powerful and versatile API designed to provide detailed and essential domain data, facilitating the efficient management and analysis of a domain's infrastructure. From verifying domain availability to analyzing DNS and WHOIS records, this API allows users, businesses and network administrators to access critical information to make informed decisions about domain management and web security.

One of the main uses of Domain Verify Tools is to verify domain availability.
With a simple use of the API, you can determine if a domain is available for purchase or if it is already registered by another person or entity. This is crucial for businesses looking to create an online presence and need to ensure that their desired domain is available. The API provides real-time results, ensuring that the information is accurate and up to date.

Another important feature offered by Domain Verify Tools is the ability to analyze MX (Mail Exchange) records. MX records are essential for the email management of a domain. These records indicate which servers are in charge of receiving and handling emails for that domain. With DomainTools, it is possible to query the MX records for any domain to see which servers are configured and their priority. This information is valuable for verifying that the email configuration is appropriate or for diagnosing problems related to receiving emails.

A (Address) records are also managed and provided by Domain Verify Tools. This type of record is key to linking a domain to a specific IP address. In essence, A records allow users typing a domain name into their browser to be redirected to the correct web server. By querying the A records for a domain, you can obtain information about the IP address to which that domain points. This is useful not only for configuring domains correctly, but also for performing security audits, tracking suspicious activity or investigating potential cyber threats.

In short, Domain Verify Tools is a comprehensive tool for domain management and web security. With the ability to verify domain availability, analyze MX and A records, query WHOIS data, and assess domain security and reputation, this API is essential for anyone working in domain management, cyber security or web data analysis. By centralizing all this information in a single API, DomainTools facilitates quick and well-informed decision making, improving efficiency and security in domain management.

 

What this API receives and what your API provides (input/output)?

The API receives email addresses or domains as input and provides validation, availability, DNS records (MX, A) and WHOIS data as output.

 

What are the most common uses cases of this API?

  1.  Domain Availability Check: Companies that are launching new projects or brands can use DomainTools to check if the desired domain names are available before proceeding with registration. This avoids conflicts or surprises when finding that a domain has already been registered.

    Email setup and maintenance: System administrators can use the API to query and verify a domain's MX records, ensuring that emails are sent to the correct server. This is useful for initial configuration or troubleshooting issues related to receiving emails.

    DNS configuration audit: Companies migrating their infrastructure to a new hosting provider can audit their DNS records, including A records, to ensure that domains are correctly linked to IP addresses on the new server.

    Domain ownership investigation: Legal or compliance professionals can use WHOIS functionality to investigate domain ownership and history, which is useful in legal disputes, fraud investigations or domain purchases.

    Domain reputation analysis: Cybersecurity companies can use DomainTools to investigate the reputation of a domain before allowing it to connect to their internal networks or critical systems, avoiding potential phishing threats

     

Are there any limitations to your plans?

Besides the number of API calls per month, there is a limitation of 5 requests per second.

This trial can be used only once, so we recommend applying it to the API that interests you the most. While most of our APIs offer a free trial, some may not. The trial concludes after 7 days or once you've made 50 requests, whichever occurs first. If you reach the 50 request limit during the trial, you will need to "Start Your Paid Plan" to continue making requests. You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab. Alternatively, if you don't cancel your subscription before the 7th day, your free trial will end, and your plan will automatically be billed, granting you access to all the API calls specified in your plan. Please keep this in mind to avoid unwanted charges.

After 7 days, you will be charged the full amount for the plan you were subscribed to during the trial. Therefore, it’s important to cancel before the trial period ends. Refund requests for forgetting to cancel on time are not accepted.

When you subscribe to an API free trial, you can make up to 50 API calls. If you wish to make additional API calls beyond this limit, the API will prompt you to perform an "Start Your Paid Plan." You can find the "Start Your Paid Plan" button in your profile under Subscription -> Choose the API you are subscribed to -> Pricing tab.
