WhoisXML API Launches Newly Registered Domains Feed (Community Edition) on Snowflake Marketplace

WhoisXML API recently launched Newly Registered Domains Feed (Community Edition) on Snowflake Marketplace.

Newly Registered Domains (NRD) 2.0 vs. 1.0: What Has Changed?

WhoisXML API has significantly improved its Newly Registered Domains (NRD) service, leading to the introduction of NRD 2.0 and phasing out of NRD 1.0 with end of service (EOS) and end of life (EOL) scheduled respectively on 1 March 2024 and 31 December 2024.

Among other enhancements, new domain activities that are monitored now not only span “added” and “dropped” domains but also “updated” and “discovered” domains. Below is an overview of NRD 2.0’s technical benefits.

December 2023: Domain Activity Highlights

WhoisXML API researchers analyzed more than 9.6 million domains registered between 1 and 31 December 2023 to identify domain registration trends, including the most used top-level domain (TLD) extensions and registrars.

Our researchers also studied the TLD usage and threat type of about 1.5 million domains tagged as indicators of compromise (IoCs) in December. The findings are summarized below, along with links to the threat reports developed using DNS, IP, and domain intelligence sources.

November 2023: Domain Activity Highlights

WhoisXML API researchers analyzed more than 8.7 million domains registered between 1 and 30 November 2023 to identify trends, such as the most used top-level domain (TLD) extensions and registrars.

We also studied the TLD usage and threat types of 1.1 million domains tagged as indicators of compromise (IoCs) in November. The findings and links to the threat reports we developed using DNS, IP, and domain intelligence sources are summarized below as well.

Newly Registered Domains V2 (NRD2) Top ccTLD Coverage Increased by 154% in 2023

WhoisXML API continues to improve its products and services as part of its commitment to a safer and more transparent Internet through the delivery of high-quality and reliable domain, IP, and DNS intelligence sources.

Among our most recent developments is the massive increase in the country-code top-level domain (ccTLD) coverage of the Newly Registered Domains V2 (NRD2) Data Feed. Specifically, we recorded a 153.95% increase in the number of domain activity for the top 10 ccTLDs in 2023 compared to 2022.

WhoisXML API Integration Is Now Available on Pangea

WhoisXML API Integration Is Now Available on Pangea

WhoisXML API is thrilled to announce a new integration with Pangea, the first Security Platform-as-a-Service (SPaaS) providing API-based security services to developers. This collaboration will allow Pangea developers to access comprehensive, up-to-date, and accurate domain ownership information.

The integration of WhoisXML API’s domain data into the Pangea Domain Intel API enables developers to programmatically monitor and block newly registered domains (NRDs), identify potentially suspicious domain names based on their WHOIS record details, and protect domain portfolios against domain hijacking and domain spoofing.
