Domain Attribution API

Intelligence that
shows its work

Query a domain. Get the real operator, not the CDN, not REDACTED FOR PRIVACY. Every confidence score breaks down into the signals behind it so you can verify the answer yourself.

The problem

You're making decisions on incomplete data

WHOIS is gone. CDNs mask 40% of the web. And the tools that claim to fill the gap won't show you how they got their answer.


WHOIS Returns Nothing

01

GDPR redacts ownership fields. ICANN's RDAP transition made things worse. Your primary intelligence source now returns REDACTED FOR PRIVACY.

CDNs Hide the Operator

02

Cloudflare, AWS CloudFront, and Fastly sit in front of 40% of all domains. Single-source tools tell you it's behind Cloudflare. You already knew that.

Scores Without Evidence

03

Other platforms give you a number. No signal weights. No source breakdown. When the score is wrong (and it will be), you can't figure out why.

How it works

Multiple sources. One scored answer.

A single query checks every available intelligence source concurrently. Results are fused, weighted, and decomposed into a full evidence chain.

01

Query

Send any domain. All intelligence sources checked concurrently in under 3 seconds.

02

Score

Signals weighted, correlated, and fused into per-entity confidence scores.

03

Decompose

Every score breaks down to raw signal contributions. Full evidence chain.

Capabilities

Domain attribution you can put in a report

Works When WHOIS Doesn't

GDPR-redacted domains, privacy-proxied registrations, CDN-masked origins. WhoisGenius finds the real operator when single-source tools return nothing.

Evidence You Can Cite

Every confidence score decomposes into the signals behind it. Include the full evidence chain in reports, filings, or investigations. Not just a number.

Signed Certificates

Generate tamper-proof attribution certificates for legal proceedings, compliance documentation, or UDRP domain disputes.

98.33% Accuracy

Benchmarked on real domains across 6 difficulty categories, including CDN-masked, GDPR-redacted, and multi-tenant hosting. We publish the methodology and the failure cases.

AI for Edge Cases

When the evidence is ambiguous, optional AI enrichment resolves entities and explains its reasoning in plain language. Zero cost when not needed.

Answers in Under 3 Seconds

All intelligence sources checked concurrently. One API call, one response, full evidence chain. Ready for automation, bulk analysis, or real-time workflows.

Historical Intelligence

v2.1

Domains change hands. Infrastructure moves. WhoisGenius now tracks the full history so you can see who operated a domain last year, not just today.

Passive DNS reveals infrastructure history and sole IP tenancy
WHOIS ownership timelines show when operators changed
GDPR-redacted field reconstruction recovers hidden registrant data
CDN-gated correlation suppresses false positives from shared hosting

Portfolio Discovery

v2.1

You found one domain. But what else does that entity run? Reverse WHOIS searches across 374M+ domains to map the full portfolio.

Reverse WHOIS across 374M+ domains by name, email, or org
Answer "what else does this entity run?" in a single query
Connect domains across subsidiaries, acquisitions, and rebrands
Infrastructure correlation validates portfolio membership
