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-dashboard

<?php
// You can download this file from here https://cdn.dataforseo.com/v3/examples/php/php_RestClient.zip
require('RestClient.php');
$api_url = 'https://api.dataforseo.com/';
// Instead of 'login' and 'password' use your credentials from https://app.dataforseo.com/api-dashboard
$client = new RestClient($api_url, null, 'login', 'password');

$post_array = array();
// simple way to set a task
$post_array[] = array(
	"limit" => 10,
	"filters" => [
		["domain", "like", "%seo%"],
		"and",
		["metrics.organic.pos_1", ">", 200]
	],
	"order_by" => ["metrics.organic.pos_1,desc"]

);
try {
	// POST /v3/domain_analytics/whois/overview/live
	$result = $client->post('/v3/domain_analytics/whois/overview/live', $post_array);
	print_r($result);
	// do something with post result
} catch (RestClientException $e) {
	echo "n";
	print "HTTP code: {$e->getHttpCode()}n";
	print "Error code: {$e->getCode()}n";
	print "Message: {$e->getMessage()}n";
	print  $e->getTraceAsString();
	echo "n";
}
$client = null;
?>

The above command returns JSON structured like this:

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
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
examples:
["expiration_datetime", "<", "2021-02-15 01:00:00 +00:00"]

[["expiration_datetime", "<", "2021-02-15 01:00:00 +00:00"], "and", ["domain", "like", "%seo%"]]

for more information about filters, please refer to Filters Page or this help center guide

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:
