# ViewDNS.info, free: Domain WHOIS API

> Our Whois API allows users to query domain or IP address ownership information, including the owner's details, domain status, and key dates like creation and expiration. [...] We ensure a consistently parsed output across all TLDs, eliminating the need to check whether a registrar uses WHOIS or RDAP [...]

ViewDNS.info's domain WHOIS API on its Sandbox plan. It costs $0.00 per 1,000 domains. ViewDNS.info's docs list 8 of the 9 fields on our checklist: Registrant, Registrar, Created on, Updated on, Expires on, Name servers, Statuses, Abuse contact.
We haven't run ViewDNS.info through [our domain WHOIS API benchmark](https://datacircle.dev/best-domain-whois-api.txt) yet.
This plan is free. We rank 316 plans for domain WHOIS APIs by price. Half the plans cost $1.495 per 1,000 domains or less. [See the best free domain WHOIS API plan.](https://datacircle.dev/best-domain-whois-api.txt)
[Searchwire's $10 pack](https://datacircle.dev/domain-whois-apis/searchwire/10-pack/llms.txt) is the cheapest paid plan per 1,000 domains. Searchwire's domain WHOIS API costs nothing beyond the plan price.
