About RDAP | .jo Domain Registry

Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) is a modern, standardized protocol for accessing domain registration information. It provides registration data in a structured JSON format and is designed to provide a more consistent and machine-readable alternative to the traditional WHOIS service.

For .jo domain names, RDAP provides a standardized interface for querying information about domains registered under the .jo country-code Top-Level Domain (ccTLD).

RDAP for .jo

The .jo RDAP service enables users, registrars, and applications to query registration information for .jo domain names through an HTTP/HTTPS-based API.

Domain Name The .jo domain being queried.

Domain Handle Unique identifier assigned to the domain.

Domain Status Current status of the domain.

Registration Events Registration, update and expiration dates.

Name Servers Authoritative DNS servers for the domain.

DNSSEC DS records and DNSSEC information.

Registry Entities Publicly available registry entities.

Structured Information

Unlike traditional WHOIS responses, which are generally returned as unstructured text, RDAP returns information using JSON. This makes .jo registration data easier for websites, applications, registrars, and other systems to process automatically.

For example, an RDAP query for example.jo can return a JSON response containing the domain's name, status, events, name servers, entities, and DNSSEC information.

{
  "objectClassName":
    "domain",

  "ldhName":
    "example.jo",

  "status": [
    "active"
  ],

  "nameservers": [
    "ns1.example.jo",
    "ns2.example.jo"
  ]
}

Domain Status

RDAP uses standardized status values to describe the current state of a .jo domain. These statuses provide applications and users with information about restrictions or conditions applied to the domain.

The status information can be used to determine whether a domain is active, subject to a transfer restriction, pending an operation, or affected by another registry-defined condition.

Domain status information Status values provide machine-readable information about the current state of the domain.

DNSSEC

When DNSSEC is enabled for a .jo domain, the RDAP response may include information about the domain's DNSSEC configuration, including DS (Delegation Signer) records.

This information allows applications to determine whether DNSSEC information is associated with the domain and to obtain the relevant cryptographic data published by the registry.

Privacy and Registration Data

The information provided through the .jo RDAP service is limited to data that is permitted to be publicly disclosed under applicable .jo registry policies and Jordanian laws and regulations.

Certain personal, administrative, or technical information may therefore be omitted, redacted, or otherwise restricted when it is not intended for public disclosure.

Purpose of the .jo RDAP Service

The .jo RDAP service provides a modern and standardized mechanism for accessing publicly available .jo domain registration information. It supports interoperability with RDAP-compatible systems while providing structured data that can be easily consumed by applications and services.

The service helps improve the accessibility, consistency, and machine-readability of .jo domain registration data while respecting applicable registration policies and privacy requirements.
