How this service works
Domain registration check: registrar (name and IANA ID only), creation, expiry and last-changed dates, status flags, DNSSEC delegation and nameservers from the registry's RDAP, graded pass/warn/fail for newly registered, expiring or held domains
Output
Returns a JSON object with the registrar name and IANA ID, domain creation date, expiry date, last-changed date, status flags from the registry, DNSSEC delegation status, and a list of nameservers. Also includes a pass/warn/fail grade indicating whether the domain is newly registered, expiring soon, or held, to help assess domain trustworthiness.
Example use cases
Phishing domain triage
“I just got an email from payments-support-afribank.net — can you look up that domain and tell me if it was only recently registered, what its status flags are, and whether it gets a pass or fail on the age check?”
Vendor due diligence check
“Before I wire money to this supplier, can you check their domain afrotradeco.com — I want to know when it was created, who the registrar is, and if there's anything suspicious like a very new registration or hold status?”
Domain expiry monitoring
“Check mybusiness-kenya.co.ke for me — when does it expire, is it in good standing, and does it have DNSSEC set up? I want to know if it's at risk of lapsing soon.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://afriref.dev/v1/domain/age?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative registry-level domain age and status data with a built-in trust grade (pass/warn/fail), particularly for fraud detection, phishing triage, vendor vetting, or any workflow where knowing whether a domain is newly registered or at risk of expiry matters. It is especially useful for African-region domain names (.co.za, .co.ke, etc.) given Afriref's focus. Prefer it over generic WHOIS tools when you need a structured JSON response with a graded verdict rather than raw WHOIS text.
Side effects
- Domain not found in RDAP — registry returns no data for unregistered or unsupported TLDs
- Invalid domain format — returns an error if the domain string is malformed or exceeds 253 characters
- TLD not supported by RDAP — some registries don't expose RDAP endpoints
- Timeout or registry unavailability — upstream RDAP registry may be slow or down
- Missing required 'domain' query parameter — returns a validation error
