# Domain Registration Lifecycle - Expiry & RDAP Changes — workflow

## Choose this tool

Monitor a small .com or .net watchlist using authoritative RDAP metadata, without collecting personal contact details.

Useful output columns: `domain`, `rdapStatus`, `expiresAt`, `daysUntilExpiry`, `expiryWindow`, `registrar`, `comparisonStatus`, `changedFields`, `sourceUrl`.

## Practical workflow

Enter known domains and review registry dates, statuses and nameservers. Save a complete baseline, then compare the same watchlist for changed registration fields. Verify renewal or ownership questions with the registrar.

## Check the fit

Initial support is .com and .net only. No personal contact scraping, bulk WHOIS, domain purchase or availability guarantee. Registry expiry does not prove a domain will be released.

## Real output sample

One selected row from a 2026-11-06 run. Selected original scalar fields from one actual saved observation; nested data and private artifact links are omitted.

Run: 2E19rLdsNxYugAokS. Summary status: ok. Incomplete: false.

Dated bounded release evidence for this exact input and build. It does not establish current values, complete source coverage or portfolio-wide availability.
