Registration
The registrar, the dates it was registered, last changed and expires, and its status codes, such as a transfer lock.
Nymwell foundation
Look up any domain’s public records.
See which registrar a domain is with, when it was registered and expires, whether it is locked, and how its DNS, email and HTTPS are set up. Free, no sign-up.
Public registry (RDAP) and DNS records, read live. Owner names and contact details are not shown.
Setup
Its nameservers and DNS host, whether the website answers over HTTPS, and whether email is set up with SPF and DMARC.
Next step
No record: the price and a link to buy it. Registered: when it can be transferred, or why it cannot.
Before you trust a website, check these signals
Registered days ago
Very new domains are common in phishing and fake shops. New businesses register new domains too, so weigh it with the rest.
No HTTPS
A site that asks for payment or a password should answer over HTTPS. HTTPS alone does not make a site trustworthy.
No DMARC
Without DMARC, email that claims to come from the domain is easier to forge.
Parked or for sale
Nameservers of a domain marketplace mean the name is for sale, not a running business site.
These are signals, not a verdict. Check Google Safe Browsing ↗ · How to find out who owns a domain
API, MCP AND CLI
The same lookup for scripts and agents.
No key needed. Agents call domain_info over MCP; scripts call the REST endpoint or the nymwell command.
GET /api/v1/domains/info?domain=example.com
MCP domain_info({"domain":"example.com"})
npx nymwell info example.comCan I see who owns a domain?
Usually not by name. Registrars hide owners’ names, email addresses and phone numbers by default under privacy rules such as the GDPR, and .tw hides them too. The public record shows the registrar; to reach the owner, use that registrar’s contact form.
How do I check when a domain expires?
Enter the domain above. The expiry date comes from the registry’s RDAP record, read when you look it up. After that date most domains pass through a grace and redemption period before anyone else can register them.
Is this a WHOIS lookup?
Yes, in its current form. Since January 2025 ICANN has made RDAP, the structured successor to WHOIS, the official source of registration data for .com and other generic endings. Nymwell reads RDAP and adds the domain’s DNS.
Can this tell me whether a website is a scam?
No lookup can prove a website is safe or a scam. A very recent registration, no HTTPS and no email protection are signals worth weighing, especially when a site asks for payment or a password. For a second opinion, check Google Safe Browsing.
Does Nymwell keep what I look up?
Lookups are not saved to an account and are not sent to analytics. Like any web request, a lookup can appear briefly in server logs. To answer, Nymwell reads the domain’s public registry record and DNS, and checks whether its website answers over HTTPS.
