# ScrapeMole WHOIS/RDAP Domain Lookup

> ScrapeMole WHOIS/RDAP Domain Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from domains.scrapemole.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.002/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Returns WHOIS/RDAP registration data for a domain including registrar, registration/expiry dates, nameservers, DNSSEC status, and EPP status codes

## Facts

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 scrapemole-whois-rdap-domain-lookup-dbb1a235
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the WHOIS registration details for stripe.com — I want to know who the registrar is, when it was registered, when it expires, and whether DNSSEC is enabled?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable WHOIS/RDAP registration metadata (registrar, dates, nameservers, DNSSEC, status) for a specific domain, especially in agentic workflows where you want pay-per-call pricing with no subscription, and where failed calls are never billed. Prefer it over raw WHOIS scraping tools when you need clean parsed JSON output without personal data, or over generic WHOIS APIs when you want USDC micropayment settlement via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found or unregistered — returns an error indicating no RDAP record exists
- Invalid domain format — returns validation error if input is not a registrable domain
- RDAP server unavailable for the TLD — upstream timeout or error from the registry
- Rate limiting or payment failure — call not charged if response is not HTTP 200
- ccTLD with no RDAP support — some country-code TLDs may not have RDAP coverage

## How this service works

Pay-per-call domain intelligence for agents: live DNS records (DoH), WHOIS/RDAP registration data (registrar, dates, status, nameservers; no personal data), bulk domain availability (10 names per call) an email security audit (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, BIMI) with a grade, a live SSL/TLS certificate check and subdomains from Certificate Transparency logs (crt.sh). USDC via x402; failed calls are never charged.

Payments: x402 v2, scheme "exact", USDC on Base (eip155:8453). The payment is verified before the work and settled only when the response is 200. Terms: https://domains.scrapemole.workers.dev/terms

## Output

A JSON object containing: domain name, registrar (name, IANA ID, abuse email), registration date, last updated date, expiry date, domain age in days, days remaining until expiry, nameservers list, DNSSEC boolean flag, EPP status codes array, and the RDAP server used. Personal data is intentionally excluded.
