Domain Whois Overview

‌
This endpoint will provide you with Whois data enriched with backlink stats, and ranking and traffic info from organic and paid search results. Using this endpoint you will be able to get all these data for the domains matching the parameters you specify in the request.

Instead of ‘login’ and ‘password’ use your credentials from https://app.dataforseo.com/api-access

POST

Your account will be charged for each request.
The cost can be calculated on the Pricing page.

All POST data should be sent in the JSON format (UTF-8 encoding). The task setting is done using the POST method. When setting a task, you should send all task parameters in the task array of the generic POST array. You can send up to 2000 API calls per minute.

You can specify the number of results you want to retrieve, set filters and indicate sorting parameters.

Below you will find a detailed description of the fields you can use for setting a task.

Description of the fields for setting a task:

Field name	Type	Description
`limit`	integer	the maximum number of returned domains optional field default value: `100` maximum value: `1000`
`offset`	integer	offset in the results array of returned items optional field default value: `0` if you specify the `10` value, the first ten `items` in the results array will be omitted and the data will be provided for the successive items; Note: we recommend using this parameter only when retrieving up to 10,000 results for retrieving over 10,000 results, use the `offset_token` instead
`offset_token`	string	token for subsequent requests optional field provided in the identical filed of the response to each request; use this parameter to avoid timeouts while trying to obtain over 100,000 results in a single request; by specifying the unique `offset_token` value from the response array, you will get the subsequent results of the initial task; `offset_token` values are unique for each subsequent task Note: if the `offset_token` is specified in the request, all other parameters should be identical to the previous request learn more about this parameter on our Help Center
`filters`	array	array of results filtering parameters optional field you can add several filters at once (8 filters maximum) you should set a logical operator `and`, `or` between the conditions the following operators are supported: `regex`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, `=`, `<>`, `in`, `not_in`, `like`, `not_like` you can use the `%` operator with `like` and `not_like` to match any string of zero or more characters
`order_by`	array	results sorting rules optional field you can use the same values as in the `filters` array to sort the results possible sorting types: `asc` - results will be sorted in the ascending order `desc` - results will be sorted in the descending order the comma is used as a separator example: `["metrics.organic.pos_1,desc"]` default rule: `["metrics.organic.count,desc"]` note that you can set no more than three sorting rules in a single request you should use a comma to separate several sorting rules example: `["expiration_datetime,asc","metrics.organic.etv,desc","metrics.organic.pos_1,desc"]`
`tag`	string	user-defined task identifier optional field the character limit is 255 you can use this parameter to identify the task and match it with the result you will find the specified `tag` value in the `data` object of the response

‌
