TL;DR

  • The feed now captures up to 2x more newly added, updated, dropped, and discovered domains each day.
  • Every domain comes with a more complete registration record, because the feed compares its RDAP and WHOIS data and keeps the fullest version.
  • No actions needed on your side: the files and the way you integrate them stay the same.
