Cost math

Priced at $0.0030 per domain lookup completed. 10 domain lookup completeds ≈ $0.03, 100 ≈ $0.30, 1,000 ≈ $3.00. The first runs land inside Apify's $5/mo free-tier credit — pay only for what you extract, no monthly subscription.

Integrations

Run this actor directly on Apify (no code)

Click Open on Apify above to run domain-whois-dns in your browser - no code, no install. In the Apify console you get:

Get your Apify API token

To run this actor from your own code you need an Apify API token. Get one in about a minute:

  1. Sign up for a free Apify account (Google, GitHub, or email).
  2. Go to Settings → Integrations → API tokens.
  3. Click Create a new API token. Copy it and keep it secret.

Free tier: Apify credits your account with $5 of platform usage every month, no credit card required. Enough to test any actor meaningfully - at $0.001 per result on typical scrapers, that is roughly 5,000 results for free every month.

Call from code

Run this actor from any language via the Apify REST API. Replace YOUR_TOKEN with your API token and adapt the input JSON to your needs.

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
// npm install apify-client
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('santamaria-automations/domain-whois-dns').call({});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
# pip install apify-client
