How to obtain data from the Domain Registration Stream

  • First of all, you need an API key with a valid Real-time Domain Registration Streaming subscription.
  • Connect to the wss://nrd-stream.whoisxmlapi.com/ultimate endpoint and send your API key as a first message:
    • $ websocat --no-line -B 1100000 wss://nrd-stream.whoisxmlapi.com/ultimate
[INFO  websocat::stdio_threaded_peer] get_stdio_peer (threaded)
[INFO  websocat::ws_client_peer] get_ws_client_peer
[INFO  websocat::ws_client_peer] Connected to ws
ENTER_YOUR_API_KEY
  • In the example above, we used the websocat open source console utility. The “-B” parameter specifies the size of the buffer (a little over 1 MB is recommended).
  • We strongly recommend that you use WebSocket clients that comply with RFC 6455 and support ping-pong communication by default.
