WHOIS History API
The WHOIS History API returns the complete ownership timeline for any domain. Every unique WHOIS record captured since 1986, ordered from most recent to oldest. Records are deduplicated: only genuine changes in registration data create a new entry, so you get a clean chronological history rather than thousands of identical snapshots.
