Hi Atro
If there isn't yet, you can probably write one using RDAP.
NameCheap's
registrar ID is 1068.
Interesting API. But Hen and Egg Issue :-)
I would first to find which registrar in the first place to then query
the registrar via RDAP and by then I already have found the registrar.
RDAP has bootstrapping facilities so if a domain is under a gTLD or
*some* ccTLDs you don't need to guess.
But query the age to find if that domain was just recently registered
could improve efficiency and finding disposable domains registered
every day just for blacklist avoidance.
[tld].whois-server.net points to the corresponding TLD registry whois
server. But whois output seems to be unstructured text and not at all
suitable for machine parsing.
Right.
The situation should be getting better over time, but ccTLD registries
are resistant to community pressure.
