Whois Lookup API
You can fetch WHOIS record of any domain name through:
http://api.whoxy.com/?key=xxxxx&whois=example.com
Whois API digs into WHOIS registry referral chains until the correct WHOIS servers are found, for the most complete WHOIS data.
Our WHOIS parser converts WHOIS data into well-structured fields (XML & JSON), which can easily be read by your application.
Whois API supports a total of 2026 Domain Extensions (gTLDs, ccTLDs & new gTLDs), ensuring all domains are supported.
Sample Output: JSON Schema • XML Schema • JSON Live Results • XML Live Results
Retrieving Data in XML Format
Simple add "&format=xml" to any of your API calls and get results in XML Format.
http://api.whoxy.com/?key=xxxxx&whois=example.com&format=xml
Kindly use XML format only if your application strictly requires XML data. Compared to lightweight JSON format, XML carries a lot of extra baggage. This results in slower data transmission, and affects the overall performance of your application interacting with our API. We highly recommend you use JSON format whenever possible.
Account Balance Check
Check your account's API query balance:
http://api.whoxy.com/?key=xxxxx&account=balance
Sample Output: JSON Schema • XML Schema • JSON Live Results • XML Live Results
API Status Codes
Every API call will return a Status of either: 0 (ERROR) or 1 (SUCCESS)
In case of Status 0, the reason behind the failure of the API call will also be returned.
Sample Output: Invalid API Key (JSON) • Invalid API Key (XML)
