# NetIntel WHOIS/RDAP Domain Lookup

> NetIntel WHOIS/RDAP Domain Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from netintel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Looks up a domain name via RDAP and returns registration details, expiry, registrar, status flags, and a scored health grade.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 netintel-whois-rdap-domain-lookup-3b9df087
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the WHOIS/RDAP registration details for stripe.com — I want to see the registrar, expiry date, name servers, status flags, and whether it has any abuse indicators or health issues?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, scored domain registration intelligence beyond raw WHOIS text — particularly when you want health grading, expiry warnings, abuse flag detection, and registrar details in a single parsed response. Prefer over raw WHOIS tools when you need machine-readable output with risk scoring.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found or not registered — RDAP returns no data
- Invalid domain name format — query rejected
- TLD not supported by any known RDAP bootstrap server
- Network timeout reaching the upstream RDAP server
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402

## How this service works

WHOIS domain lookup via RDAP — registrar, creation/expiry/updated dates, nameservers, and status flags from the authoritative registry, plus an actionability score so agents can assess domain trustworthiness, ownership, or availability risk.

## Output

A JSON object containing the domain's TLD, registrar name and IANA ID, creation/update/expiry timestamps, days until expiry, list of RDAP status flags, a boolean indicating abuse-related status flags, a list of scored findings (with deductions), an overall numeric score (0-100), a letter grade (e.g. 'A', 'B'), and the RDAP lookup URL.
