Frequently asked questions

Ceven utilizes the bulk endpoints specifically designed by Whoisfreaks to minimize API calls. When you provide a list of domains, the agent bundles them into groups of 100, which is the maximum limit for bulk DNS and WHOIS lookups. This ensures that your workflow runs efficiently and does not exhaust your monthly credit quota on individual requests. The agent then parses the combined response and maps each result back to the corresponding domain in your original list, allowing you to perform large scale enrichment of lead lists or security logs without manual iteration or complex looping logic in your workflow.
Live Lookup queries authoritative WHOIS servers in real time to give you the current state of a domain, including the most recent name servers and expiration dates. Historical Lookup accesses the Whoisfreaks proprietary database to show you how a domain has changed over time, with records going back to 1986. Ceven can use these in tandem to detect domain flipping or ownership changes that might indicate a security risk. For example, a domain that suddenly changed owners and updated its DNS records within 24 hours can trigger an automated alert in your security dashboard.
Yes, Ceven uses the reverse WHOIS lookup capabilities of Whoisfreaks to achieve this. By providing an email address, a company name, or an owner name, the agent can query the database for all matching registration records. This is particularly useful for competitive intelligence or fraud detection. The agent can extract the list of domains and then run secondary checks, such as SSL certificate validation or DNS lookups, to see which of those domains are currently active and hosting content, providing a complete map of an entity's web presence.
Whoisfreaks provides deep IP intelligence through three primary tools. The IP Geolocation lookup gives you the physical location and ISP. The IP WHOIS lookup identifies the organization that owns the IP block. The Security Threat lookup checks the IP against blocklists and identifies if it is a known VPN, proxy, or Tor exit node. Ceven integrates these into a single investigation step, so when you provide an IP, the agent can tell you exactly who owns it, where it is located, and if it has a history of malicious activity.
One important quirk to note is that Whoisfreaks data availability can be affected by GDPR and other privacy regulations. Many registrars now redact personal contact information from WHOIS records, replacing names and emails with generic privacy proxies. While the API provides the most complete data possible, you will often see redacted fields for domains registered in the EU or those using privacy services. Ceven handles this by flagging redacted records in your workflow, so you know when you need to pivot to other intelligence sources like SSL certificates or DNS history to identify the owner.
The subdomain lookup tool enumerates all known subdomains associated with a root domain. Ceven uses this for asset discovery. For example, if you are performing a security audit, the agent can pull every subdomain and then automatically run an SSL certificate check on each one to find expired certificates or those using weak encryption. This prevents the need for you to run a separate scanner; the agent simply iterates through the list provided by Whoisfreaks and updates your tracking spreadsheet with the security status of every discovered asset in real time.
Ceven connects to Whoisfreaks using an API key provided in your Whoisfreaks dashboard. When you set up the integration, you enter your key into the Ceven secure vault. This key is encrypted at rest and is only injected into the request header at the moment the agent makes a call to the Whoisfreaks API. We never store your key in plain text or expose it to the model. You can rotate your API key in the Whoisfreaks portal at any time, and simply update the value in your Ceven connection settings to restore service to your workflows.
Yes, by using the WHOIS Live Lookup, Ceven can retrieve the exact expiration date of any domain. You can build a workflow that runs on a schedule, checking a list of your critical domains every week. If the agent detects that a domain is within 30 days of expiration, it can automatically create a ticket in Jira or send a Slack alert to your IT team. This removes the risk of accidental domain loss due to missed renewal notices, as the agent monitors the authoritative source directly rather than relying on email notifications from a registrar.
