Give this API up to 10 domain names and it will tell you whether each one has a registration record on file with the official registry. It uses RDAP — the modern, structured replacement for WHOIS — so there is no messy free-text parsing. Each domain comes back labeled 'registered', 'unregistered', or 'indeterminate' (when the registry does not support RDAP for that ending). Important: 'unregistered' means no record was found, which usually means the name is available — but reserved or premium names can also return no record. This API tells you registration status only; it does not tell you price, premium status, or whether a registrar will actually let you buy the name.
