WhoisXML API Blog

We’re excited to announce that WhoisXML API now offers a tech announcement service page to help customers keep track of events, such as the release of new or revised data feed files. The service aims to provide users access to relevant product updates covering events related to Newly Registered Domains, the Typosquatting Feed, the Early DGA Detection Feed, the Early Warning Phishing Feed, and the Quarterly WHOIS Database.

The tech announcement service is available on two channels. The RSS feed can be accessed at https://www.whoisxmlapi.com/tech_announce/announce.rss, while the JSON list is available at https://www.whoisxmlapi.com/tech_announce/announce.json.

WhoisXML API now offers scripts for IP Geolocation Database users to easily create and use interval trees for efficient IPv4 and IPv6 geolocation data searches, including a function to check if an IP address falls within any GeoIP range.

We’re thrilled to announce that WHOIS queries can now be processed through POST requests in addition to the current HTTP GET request method. This new capability offers a more secure way to access domain registration information.

Using POST requests significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access to API keys, as they encrypt the HTTP message body, including the API key. To illustrate, here is an example of a POST request.

WhoisXML API recently produced a script that allows users to monitor the API status page, a JSON page showing each API’s real-time status and response time.

The script can be tailored to an organization’s specific requirements so it receives the information most relevant to an application. This valuable resource helps ensure applications and services that rely on the monitored APIs run smoothly.

This project aimed to upload data from DNS_Premium_365 dataset to a local ClickHouse database for efficient, optimized and rapid querying capabilities.

WhoisXML API recently produced a script that allows developers to maintain a constant burst rate. With it, developers can specify the exact number of API requests they want to send per second.

The script can be adjusted for different WhoisXML API products. It is a valuable resource for preventing system overloading and enabling developers to better manage application performance.

WhoisXML API has recently created two scripts to provide IP Netblocks Database users with a fast and easy way to retrieve the netblocks data of any IP address. The first script allows developers to create a binary tree database and save it as a pickle file, while the second script enables them to search the binary tree for a specific IP address.
