> Eckari Domain Expiry Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from api.eckari.com, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability eckari-domain-expiry-lookup-3ed23f2a
```

Example prompt: When does openai.com expire? Pull the live expiry date straight from the authoritative registry and tell me how many days are left and what the current registry status codes are.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you only need expiry and renewal-related data for a domain — it is a focused, lower-cost alternative to a full domain registration lookup. Ideal for renewal monitoring pipelines, portfolio expiry dashboards, or any agent task where the specific question is 'when does this domain expire?' rather than full WHOIS-style registration detail.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found in RDAP (unregistered or unsupported TLD) — returns 404 or empty result
- Invalid domain format (includes URL path, port, protocol, or single-label name) — rejected by input validation
- Registry RDAP server unavailable or slow — may time out or return stale data
- Internationalised domain name conversion (IDNA/punycode) failure for malformed unicode input

## How this service works

Registry expiry date for a domain read live from the authoritative registry RDAP server, with whole days remaining, the registry status codes, the registrar name and the registry's own last-update timestamp. A focused, cheaper subset of domain.registration for renewal monitoring and portfolio checks. Use when: When does this domain expire?

## Output

Returns the domain's expiry date as read live from the authoritative RDAP registry, whole days remaining until expiry, registry status codes (e.g. clientTransferProhibited), the registrar name, and the registry's own last-update timestamp.
