RDAPify is a production-grade RDAP client ecosystem for querying domain, IP, ASN, nameserver, and entity registration data. It replaces legacy WHOIS with a structured, standards-compliant (RFC 7483) approach — built for security, observability, and scale.

TypeScript / JavaScript · MIT The core library. Works in Node.js 20+, Bun, Deno, and Cloudflare Workers. npm install rdapify

Rust · MIT Native-performance Rust library. Also published as cargo add rdapify |
Rust (napi-rs native addon) · Commercial Premium plugin for npm install @rdapify/pro |
import { RDAPClient } from 'rdapify';
const client = new RDAPClient();
// Domain lookup
const domain = await client.domain('example.com');
console.log(domain.registrar, domain.status);
// IP lookup
const ip = await client.ip('8.8.8.8');
console.log(ip.network.name, ip.network.cidr);
// ASN lookup
const asn = await client.asn(15169);
console.log(asn.name);
// Domain availability
const result = await client.checkAvailability('example.com');
console.log(result.available, result.expiresAt);CLI:

| Runtime | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Node.js 20+ | ✅ Stable | Primary target |
| Bun | ✅ Stable | Auto-detected, uses Bun.fetch |
| Deno | ✅ Stable | Auto-detected, uses native fetch |
| Cloudflare Workers | ✅ Stable | Auto-detected, edge-compatible |
No configuration needed — RDAPClient selects the right fetcher automatically.
rdapify follows a hexagonal (Ports & Adapters) architecture:
Query → Validate → Normalize → Cache? → Bootstrap → Fetch → Normalize → Redact PII → Cache → Return
Inner layers (core/, shared/) never depend on outer layers (infrastructure/). The plugin interface allows @rdapify/pro to attach to RDAPClient without modifying the core.

Target: v1.0.0 — February 2027
- SSRF protection blocks all RFC 1918, loopback, and reserved ranges
- Input validation on all query types (domain, IP, ASN, handle)
- No credentials or PII logged — audit log is redacted by default
