Domain Info¶

Requests detailed information about a registered domain name. This command mostly follows standard EPP Domain name mapping, RFC-5731, with a simple optional extension for responses.

Client request¶

The only parameter is domain:name which should be given in it’s ACE encoded form. domain:name may have a hosts attribute with following values:

all include in response all nameservers associated with the domain name (this happens by default)
sub show only subordinate networks (being subdomains of the requested domain name)
del only delegated networks (having no IP address) should be shown
none do not include network information in response

(see RFC-5731 explanation what subordinate and delegated hosts means in EPP terminology).

Note

Please, use <domain:check> command to get a hint of whether the domain name is available for new registrations. <domain:info> as a more “heavy” request is not a good choice for doing that.

Example of the request:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<epp xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:epp-1.0 epp-1.0.xsd">
  <command>
    <info>
      <domain:info
       xmlns:domain="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0"
       xsi:schemaLocation="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:domain-1.0 domain-1.0.xsd">
       <domain:name hosts='all'>example-mydomain.lv</domain:name>
      </domain:info>
    </info>
    <clTRID>mFvZwyJKYHYmWpgS2JlG</clTRID>
  </command>
</epp>

Server response¶

When an <domain:info> command has been processed successfully, the domain:infData element will contain all the information associated with the domain (if the domain name is managed by the caller).

Following elements are always present:

domain:name domain name in its ACE-encoded form
domain:roid a unique repository object identifier, derived from the name of the domain
domain:clID client ID (login name) of the registrar, “sponsoring” the domain
domain:registrant contact handle of the holder of the domain name
domain:contact a list of contact handles of billing, administrative and technical contact persons, linked to the domain
- type=”admin” client handle of administrative contact person
- type=”billing” contains client handle of the registrar’s primary person
- type=”tech” client handle of the registrar’s hostmaster contact, responsible for the domain
One or more domain:status elements, whose “s” attribute names the state the domain is in (please, see the list of possible states that domains could have)
domain:ns with a list of domain:hostAttr tags, each describing one nameserver for that domain:
- domain:hostName containing host name of the nameserver
- domain:hostAddr contains it’s IP address (only for subordinated nameservers which are subdomains of the domain name)
domain:crID EPP client ID of the registrar which originally registered that domain (may be absent or contain some special string, prefixed with two underscores for domain names registered before their registrar had an EPP account)
domain:exDate contains the date when the domain is going to expire

Note

If a domain name is for free (like .id.lv domain names for Latvian private persons, domain names for schools and local governments - please, see Policy for the acquisition of the right to use domain names under the top-level domain .lv, section 8, for more details), it never expires, so, absence of domain:exDate element allows to recognize domain names which are for free from those the registrar should pay for.
domain:crDate date (in UTC) when the registration request form was submitted
domain:upID EPP client ID of the registrar who last updated the domain details (which could only be the caller). May contain string __SERVER__ or __NIC-STAFF__ if the changes were made as a side effect of some offline process, in nic.lv online system or by our staff.
domain:upDate date (in UTC) of last change of domain name or it’s networks
domain:trDate date (in UTC) when the last registrar change request was successfully performed

Response for the client, managing the queried domain name:

Also, an <extension> element may be present with a lvdomain:infData tag, which currently may contain:
