WhoIs for n8n

WhoIs is an n8n community node built by Agencia Hi to perform domain ownership lookups directly inside your automations. Stop switching tools to check WHOIS details—drop this node into a workflow and instantly enrich leads, audit competitor domains, or validate registrant information before launching campaigns.

What you get

• 🔍 Real WHOIS data – query any domain and retrieve parsed registrar, contact, and metadata fields.
• ⚙️ Configurable options – override WHOIS servers, set referral depth, adjust timeouts, or enable verbose mode to see each hop.
• ⚡ n8n-native UX – the node behaves like any built-in transform node, supports expressions, and respects Continue On Fail.
• ❤️ Agency-ready – battle-tested by Agencia Hi for marketing ops, client onboarding, and brand monitoring.

Installation

npm install n8n-nodes-whoishiagencia
# or, for quick testing
npm install n8n-nodes-whoishiagencia --save-dev

To develop locally:

git clone https://github.com/<your-org>/n8n-nodes-whoishiagencia.git
cd n8n-nodes-whoishiagencia
npm install
npm run dev

Usage

1. Add WhoIs to your workflow (nodes list → Community Nodes).
2. Provide the Domain field (static value or expression such as {{$json.website}}). You can paste https://, www., or add paths—WhoIs sanitizes everything for you.
3. Connect downstream nodes (Code, HTTP Request, CRM, etc.) to consume the WHOIS JSON.

Returned data includes the queried domain, parsed WHOIS fields (registrant name, created date, status, etc.), and optional metadata with server/port when verbose mode is activated.

Example workflow idea

Cron → HTTP Request (fetch lead domains) → WhoIs → IF (expiry < 30 days) → Slack / Email

Use it to:

• Monitor expiring competitor or partner domains.
• Vet new leads before adding them to your CRM.
• Enrich analytics dashboards with registrant information.
