Usage Notes
To use the Website Availability and WHOIS Checker feature, take care to implement the following:
- To enable the new website availability and WHOIS checks, ensure the domain_info parameter is set to true in your validation requests.
- If these checks are not needed, omit the domain_info parameter or set it to false to reduce processing time and exclude unnecessary fields from the response.
