WHOIS History Lookup is an information retrieval system that allows you to look back into more than ten years’ worth of historical domain information on any domain of interest. Each lookup lets you track the latest 3 ownership changes a domain went through.
WHOIS History Lookup returns all the WHOIS records of a domain. It accesses a database containing more than 23.8B+ historical records spanning 7,596 top-level domains (TLDs).
We have been crawling the Web for more than a decade now, always expanding our scope and expertise in providing WHOIS history intelligence.
We make it a point to parse and structure data consistently so customers can use it as is. Every lookup report is easy to read and interpret.
Each WHOIS History Lookup report comes with a custom URL so you can share it readily with colleagues or content consumers.
“Whois XML API products represent an invaluable resource for security researchers, seamlessly integrating within complex pipelines with ease.”
“Your history lookup is a life saver. I’m a web designer with a client who lost track of one of their important domain names. Using your web-based WHOIS history search, I was able to prove they do indeed own the domain and assist them with their registrar account recovery process. This was sort of a one-off for me, but if I face a similar situation in the future, I’ll definitely come back to make further use of your amazing tools and resources.”

“Whois XML is one of the most important tools we use for domain intelligence in the Bachelor's Degree program in Investigation and Security Sciences at the University of Perugia. In particular, we appreciate the reverse research from IP to Domain and Whois with query filters. The tool is comprehensive, providing detailed information such as phone numbers, names, and other details from Whois records. While many Whois records are now covered by privacy regulations, WhoisXML API provides access to all historical WHOIS records.”
“WhoisXML was the game changer for us. It has revolutionized our ability to disrupt cybercrime in process and at scale by quickly identifying all of the vendors providing material support for scammers using sophisticated website templates that look legitimate. By quickly identifying the vendors unknowingly supporting the criminals, we can provide them with public interest justification to burn down the criminal infrastructure.”
“WhoisXML API is amazing for checking out the historic registration information of a domain, pivoting to locate the alternate registrations with the same details and also my cyber investigations. The data proved very useful when investigating pig butchering scams and domains that host child abuse material.”
“Very useful for investigations, we can go back in history and see when domains were registered and who owned them at a certain time.”
“WhoisXML API builds out data sets that help users correlate attack infrastructure with related IP and WHOIS information.”
