  "description": "The ICANN registration data lookup tool provides the ability to look up current registration data for domain names and Internet number resources. It utilizes the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP), which is designed as a replacement for the older WHOIS protocol, offering more secure access, standardized formats, and internationalization support. It also guides users to the Registration Data Request Service (RDRS) for legitimate interests to access nonpublic data.",
