ChangeDetection.io WHOIS Plugin

A plugin for ChangeDetection.io that provides automated WHOIS monitoring to detect changes in domain registration information.

Features

• Domain Registration Monitoring: Track changes in domain ownership, registration dates, and expiry dates

• WHOIS Data Tracking: Monitor all changes to WHOIS records over time
• Registrar Change Detection: Be alerted when domains move between different registrars

How It Works

This plugin adds a new processor type "WHOIS Domain Registration Information" to ChangeDetection.io. When selected, instead of fetching webpage content, the system will:

1. Extract the domain from the URL
2. Query the domain's WHOIS information
3. Track changes to this information over time
4. Alert you when changes are detected
