# OrionCMD Checks – Domain Expiry

> OrionCMD Checks – Domain Expiry is a paid API for AI agents from orioncmd-checks-mcp.dario-9fa.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-29).

Returns the domain registration expiry date, days remaining, registrar, and any expiry-related findings for a given hostname or URL.

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 orioncmd-checks-domain-expiry-62c75df0
```

Example prompt: Can you check when the domain acme.com is set to expire and tell me how many days are left before it lapses?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to know a domain's registration expiry date, days remaining, and registrar — particularly for proactive renewal monitoring, portfolio audits, or pre-launch checklists. It is purpose-built for expiry data and cheaper per-call than bundled site-health checks. Use the sibling bundle endpoint if you also need TLS and DNS health in one call.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found in registry: returns found=false
- Invalid or malformed domain input: 400-level error
- Domain TLD not supported by lookup source: empty or partial result
- Registry WHOIS rate limiting or unavailability: timeout or error response
- Payment not processed (x402): 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Pay-per-call website checks for agents: TLS certificate (from CT logs), DNS/email-auth, domain expiry, and a site-health bundle. Also available as an MCP server at /mcp.

## Output

A JSON object containing: whether the domain was found (found: bool), the domain name, expiry timestamp (ISO 8601), days remaining until expiry (days_left), the registrar name, and an array of any notable findings or warnings.
