Domain Analytics Whois API delivers Whois records from DataForSEO’s proprietary database together with related registration and expiry dates, registrar and registrant data, and related domain metrics. Because the data comes from our own database, the API natively supports Live mode and returns results within the same request, typically within 2 seconds. Billing combines a fixed task fee with a per-domain item fee. One task returns 100 domains by default and can return up to 1,000 domains, so larger sets require multiple requests.

FAQ
Questions about Domain Analytics Whois API
How is the Whois API price calculated?
Each Live request costs $0.12, plus $0.0012 for each returned domain. The response returns 100 domains by default; you can raise the limit to 1,000 domains per task.
How much does a full 1,000-domain task cost?
A 1,000-domain task costs $0.12 + (1,000 × $0.0012) = $1.32.
How much does it cost to process 1 million domains?
At the 1,000-domain task limit, 1M domains require 1,000 tasks: 1,000 × $0.12 + 1,000,000 × $0.0012 = $1,320.
How many domain records can one response return?
Up to 1,000 domain records per response. Larger result sets require pagination and multiple tasks; each request also carries the $0.12 task fee.
