  • Auth: none declared

Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

Client-generated unique key (e.g. a UUID) for safe retries. Scoped to the caller. On /api/tools/whois a repeat within 24h replays the stored response without a second lookup or quota hit (Idempotent-Replayed: true); on /api/domain/search the operation is idempotent by nature and the key is echoed.
