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.

Scripts for Building and Querying Interval Trees with IP Geolocation Database

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.

WHOIS API Now Supports POST Requests

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.

A Script for Monitoring the API Status Page

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.
