The registrar, the created, expires and last-changed dates, the status and the raw registration record all sit on one row. Click any domain in the preview above to read its full WHOIS data, and every field is public data you are free to query. ## Two protocols, one WHOIS database Registration data comes over two protocols, and this WHOIS database download carries both, normalized into a single schema. In practice you get one RDAP database download and one legacy WHOIS data feed in the same file, so your data pipeline never has to chase two separate services. ### RDAP data RDAP is the modern, structured replacement for WHOIS. It returns clean JSON with typed events, statuses and registrar entities, and it is what most registries now serve. Where a domain answers over this protocol, the database keeps that structured registration data. ### Legacy WHOIS data Legacy WHOIS is the older free-text protocol. Many ccTLDs still answer only over WHOIS, so the database captures that raw WHOIS record too. The whoisMethod field tells you which protocol supplied the data for any given domain. ## Nine columns of registration data The parsed WHOIS fields, plus the whole raw RDAP or WHOIS record. domain The registrable domain, your join key. cloudflare.com whoisMethod Which protocol answered, RDAP or WHOIS. RDAP registrar The registrar of record for the domain. Cloudflare, Inc. created The domain creation date. 2009-02-17 expires The domain expiration date. 2033-02-17 lastChanged The last change to the registration record. 2024-01-09 responseStatus The status the registry returned. Domain is active whoisAt The date this WHOIS data was last checked. 2026-06-24 rawSnippet The full raw registration data, kept for your own parsing. {"events": [...]} ## How the WHOIS database is built, every day We run the queries and absorb the rate limits, so the data lands in your download already parsed. 1 ### Crawl Take every active domain on the web. 2 ### Query Ask RDAP first, fall back to legacy WHOIS. 3 ### Parse Extract registrar, dates and status. 4 ### Redact Drop personal data per ICANN rules. 5 ### Export Ship one JSONL file, raw records kept. ## Who works from the WHOIS database One daily-refreshed file, many teams. Here is how different buyers put the registration data to work at web scale. Every buyer starts from the same data and slices it a different way, with no per-query services in the loop. Brand protection ### Catch typosquats early Diff yesterday's records against today's to get an instant feed of new registrations that fuzzy-match your brand. Registrar intel ### Measure registrar market share Group the data by registrar and plot share over time across any TLD to see who is winning and losing domains. Domain investing ### Predict drops and windows Filter the records by expiry date and brand match to find tomorrow's drops before the backorder crowd does. Threat intel and SOC ### Cluster malicious registrations Pivot on registrar, creation date and status to group bulk-registered abuse domains that share a registration fingerprint. Legal and compliance ### Prove registration dates Pull the raw registration record for any domain to evidence its creation date and registrar for a dispute or takedown, straight from the WHOIS data. Data and platform teams ### Skip the rate limits Get registration data for 403.4M domains in one download instead of crawling registry RDAP and WHOIS services one query at a time. ## Query the registries yourself, or download the database ### Querying RDAP and WHOIS yourself - Registry RDAP and WHOIS services throttle you to about one query per second. - Full-web coverage means hundreds of millions of lookups, repeated daily. - The two protocols return different shapes you have to normalize yourself. - GDPR redaction rules differ by registrar and are easy to get wrong. ### The WHOIS database download from webatla - Registration data for 403.4M domains in one file, no rate limits. - RDAP and WHOIS normalized into a single schema, with the raw records kept. - Re-queried continuously and re-exported daily. - GDPR redactions already applied under ICANN's Temporary Specification. ## Query the WHOIS database in place The WHOIS database download loads into Postgres, ClickHouse, BigQuery or DuckDB with no preprocessing. Parsed fields are plain columns and the raw registration data is a text field, so any query on the data runs offline against your own local copy. Postgres, ClickHouse, BigQuery, DuckDB ``` domains expiring in the next 30 days SELECT domain, registrar FROM 'rdap-whois.jsonl.zst' WHERE expires < '2026-08-01' ORDER BY expires ``` ## One-line recipes on the data Because every field is a plain column, the WHOIS data answers most questions in one line, with no lookup services to call and no rate limits on the data. ### Every domain at a registrar ``` WHERE registrar = 'GoDaddy.com, LLC' ``` The full book of business for any registrar, in one list. ### Newly registered names ``` WHERE created > '2026-07-01' ``` A daily feed of fresh registration data. ### Records that came over RDAP ``` WHERE whoisMethod = 'RDAP' ``` Filter the data by which protocol answered. ### Expiring with a status hold ``` WHERE expires < '2026-08-01' AND rawSnippet LIKE '%clientHold%' ``` At-risk domains, straight from the records. ## Registration data you can trust ### Both protocols, one schema RDAP and legacy WHOIS are normalized together, so you query one schema instead of parsing two different formats. ### GDPR-compliant redactions Personal data is redacted where ICANN's Temporary Specification requires, so the WHOIS database download ships only the public registration data that registry services are allowed to publish. ### Rebuilt daily Records are re-queried continuously and the whole database is re-exported each day, so the data never goes stale. ## Spanning 1,429 TLDs and 238 countries webatla tracks domains across every TLD and country. The largest by domain count, each linking to its full profile. ### Top TLDs [**com** 195.3M domains](https://webatla.com/tld/com) [**de** 16.4M domains](https://webatla.com/tld/de) [**net** 14.4M domains](https://webatla.com/tld/net) [**xyz** 13.9M domains](https://webatla.com/tld/xyz) [**org** 13.8M domains](https://webatla.com/tld/org) [**top** 9.8M domains](https://webatla.com/tld/top) [Browse all TLDs →](https://webatla.com/tld) ### Top countries [**United States** 183.0M domains](https://webatla.com/country/us) [**Germany** 34.0M domains](https://webatla.com/country/de) [**Canada** 8.9M domains](https://webatla.com/country/ca) [**France** 8.3M domains](https://webatla.com/country/fr) [**Hong Kong** 6.9M domains](https://webatla.com/country/hk) [**Netherlands** 6.9M domains](https://webatla.com/country/nl) [Browse all countries →](https://webatla.com/country) ## Subscription, freshness, licensing & refunds How do I download the WHOIS database? Buy one month of access and pull the full WHOIS database as a single zstandard-compressed JSONL file (79.5 GB). This WHOIS database download re-exports daily, so you can grab the latest data anytime inside your access window. Do I get RDAP data as well as WHOIS? Yes. Both protocols ship in one schema. RDAP is the modern structured registration service and legacy WHOIS is the older text format, and the whoisMethod field tells you which one answered for any domain. Is the raw WHOIS record included? Yes. Every row carries the parsed fields, the registrar and the created, expires and last-changed dates, plus the raw registration data so you can parse any detail yourself. How do you handle GDPR? Personal-data fields are redacted where required under ICANN's Temporary Specification. What ships is the public registration data, the registrar, the dates, the statuses and the redacted raw record. How fresh is the data? Records are re-queried continuously and the full database is re-exported every day. Inside your access window you can re-download the latest data whenever you want. What format does the file come in? JSON Lines, zstandard-compressed (79.5 GB). The WHOIS database loads into any warehouse, and the raw record ships as a text field you can query directly. How does access work? You get one month of access, or a year at €2990. Inside that window you can re-download the latest daily export whenever you want. How do I get the data after I pay? The moment your payment clears, the dataset appears in your account downloads. You can re-download the latest daily export as often as you like for your whole one-month access window. Can I use the data commercially? Yes. Commercial use inside your organisation is covered by the webatla data licence (see the Terms). For redistribution, reselling or multi-year licensing, contact us first. Do you offer refunds? Datasets are digital products, so all sales are final, which is exactly why every dataset has a free 10K-row preview to check the schema before you buy.
