The Domain Name Lookup API is a valuable tool for obtaining essential domain name information quickly and efficiently. It provides access to a wealth of data related to domain registration, ownership and administrative details. This API serves as a gateway to the extensive WHOIS database, offering information that is crucial for various applications, from verifying the legitimacy of a domain to managing domain portfolios and ensuring online security.
In essence, the Domain Name Lookup API simplifies the process of retrieving accurate and up-to-date WHOIS data, which is essential for numerous online activities. Here is an in-depth exploration of what the API offers:
Domain Information - With the Domain Name Lookup API, users can easily retrieve crucial information about a domain name. This includes details about the registrant, administrative contacts, technical contacts and billing contacts. This comprehensive data is invaluable for verifying the legitimacy of a domain or conducting an investigation into its owner.
Registration details: The API provides access to essential registration details such as domain creation date and expiration date. This information is vital for managing domains, tracking domain lifecycles and ensuring timely renewals.
Name server information: Find out which name servers are associated with a particular domain. This information is crucial for diagnosing DNS-related problems and understanding how a domain's web traffic is routed.
Domain availability: Users can perform real-time checks to determine if a specific domain name is available for registration.
In short, the Domain Name Lookup API is an indispensable resource for anyone working with domain-related data. Whether you are a domain registrar, a cybersecurity expert, a brand protection specialist or a developer working on domain-related applications, this API equips you with a complete set of tools to streamline your operations and enhance your domain-related projects. Its robust features and flexibility allow you to leverage the wealth of information stored in the WHOIS database efficiently and effectively, ultimately contributing to better domain management and decision-making.
It will receive parameters and provide you with a JSON.
Domain ownership verification: Confirm the legitimacy of a domain by checking its registrant information.
Domain registration date: Determine when a domain was registered to assess its credibility or history.
Domain expiration date: Monitor domain expiration dates to avoid lapses in ownership.
Domain Availability Check: Quickly check if a desired domain name is available for registration.

Zyla provides a wide range of integration methods for almost all programming languages. You can use these codes to integrate with your project as you need.
A Domain Name Lookup API is a web service that provides programmable access to domain name information. It allows users to retrieve details about domain names, including ownership, registration, and technical information.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
Prices are listed in USD (United States Dollar), EUR (Euro), CAD (Canadian Dollar), AUD (Australian Dollar), and GBP (British Pound). We accept all major debit and credit cards. Our payment system uses the latest security technology and is powered by Stripe, one of the world’s most reliable payment companies. If you have any trouble paying by card, just contact us at [email protected]
Additionally, if you already have an active subscription in any of these currencies (USD, EUR, CAD, AUD, GBP), that currency will remain for subsequent subscriptions. You can change the currency at any time as long as you don't have any active subscriptions.
The local currency shown on the pricing page is based on the country of your IP address and is provided for reference only. The actual prices are in USD (United States Dollar). When you make a payment, the charge will appear on your card statement in USD, even if you see the equivalent amount in your local currency on our website. This means you cannot pay directly with your local currency.
Occasionally, a bank may decline the charge due to its fraud protection settings. We suggest reaching out to your bank initially to check if they are blocking our charges. Also, you can access the Billing Portal and change the card associated to make the payment. If these does not work and you need further assistance, please contact our team at [email protected]
Prices are determined by a recurring monthly or yearly subscription, depending on the chosen plan.
API calls are deducted from your plan based on successful requests. Each plan comes with a specific number of calls that you can make per month. Only successful calls, indicated by a Status 200 response, will be counted against your total. This ensures that failed or incomplete requests do not impact your monthly quota.
Zyla API Hub works on a recurring monthly subscription system. Your billing cycle will start the day you purchase one of the paid plans, and it will renew the same day of the next month. So be aware to cancel your subscription beforehand if you want to avoid future charges.
To upgrade your current subscription plan, simply go to the pricing page of the API and select the plan you want to upgrade to. The upgrade will be instant, allowing you to immediately enjoy the features of the new plan. Please note that any remaining calls from your previous plan will not be carried over to the new plan, so be aware of this when upgrading. You will be charged the full amount of the new plan.
To check how many API calls you have left for the current month, look at the ‘X-Zyla-API-Calls-Monthly-Remaining’ header. For example, if your plan allows 1000 requests per month and you've used 100, this header will show 900.
To see the maximum number of API requests your plan allows, check the ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Limit’ header. For instance, if your plan includes 1000 requests per month, this header will display 1000.
The ‘X-Zyla-RateLimit-Reset’ header shows the number of seconds until your rate limit resets. This tells you when your request count will start fresh. For example, if it displays 3600, it means 3600 seconds are left until the limit resets.
Yes, you can cancel your plan anytime by going to your account and selecting the cancellation option on the Billing page. Please note that upgrades, downgrades, and cancellations take effect immediately. Additionally, upon cancellation, you will no longer have access to the service, even if you have remaining calls left in your quota.
You can contact us through our chat channel to receive immediate assistance. We are always online from 8 am to 5 pm (EST). If you reach us after that time, we will get back to you as soon as possible. Additionally, you can contact us via email at [email protected]
To let you experience our APIs without any commitment, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make API calls at no cost during this period. Please note that you can only use this trial once, so make sure to use it with the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs provide a free trial, but some may not support it.
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 trial, you can make only 25% of the calls allowed by that plan. For example, if the API plan offers 1000 calls, you can make only 250 during the trial. To access the full number of calls offered by the plan, you will need to subscribe to the full plan.
