RDAP Domain

RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) Domain is an internet protocol used to query domain registration data. It enables clients to access information about domain names, such as registrant details, status, and lifecycle events. By integrating the RDAP, users can get real-time insights into domain data and evaluate potential risks associated with domain changes or new deployments. More details and technical specifications can be found in the official RDAP documentation.

Supported Methods​

  • GET
  • LIST
  • SEARCH: Search for a domain record by the domain name e.g. "www.google.com"

dns​

The RDAP Domain is closely linked to DNS (Domain Name System) since it can provide detailed registration data for the domain names resolved by DNS. While DNS translates domain names to IP addresses, RDAP offers metadata about the domain itself, enhancing the understanding of the domain's context and associated risks.

rdap-nameserver​

An RDAP Domain is associated with one or more RDAP Nameservers. The nameserver records are crucial for domain operation as they indicate where domain names should be resolved. Analysing these records helps identify the legitimacy and integrity of the domain's authoritative DNS setup.

rdap-entity​

RDAP Entities represent various stakeholders linked to a domain, such as registrants, administrators, or technical contacts. Understanding these associations is vital for risk assessment because it provides insights into who has control and responsibility over a domain name.

rdap-ip-network​

The RDAP Domain can be related to the RDAP IP Network by elucidating the connection between domain names and their corresponding IP addresses. This linkage is important for security assessments, as it helps trace and authenticate the network resources a domain is associated with, identifying possible security vulnerabilities.
