  note: >-
    WhoisFreaks publishes no AsyncAPI document and no webhook reference page.
    The event surface below is asserted on the monitoring product pages only —
    payload schemas, headers, signing, retry semantics and endpoint registration
    are all undocumented publicly. Nothing here is modelled beyond what the
    provider states in prose.
event_surface:
  kind: monitoring alerts
  delivery_channels: [webhook, email, telegram]
  webhook_evidence: >-
    Brand Monitoring, "How We Detect / Notify": "Instant alerts are sent via
    webhook or email as soon as a high-risk domain is registered or activated."
  registration: via the monitoring product configuration in the billing console (not publicly documented)
  signing: not documented
  retries: not documented
  payload_schema: not documented
events:
  - name: brand-monitoring.alert
    product: Brand Monitoring
    url: https://whoisfreaks.com/products/brand-monitoring
    trigger: >-
      A lookalike, typosquat, homoglyph or unauthorized trademark registration
      is detected in a twice-daily scan across 1528+ TLDs.
    channels: [webhook, email, telegram]
    payload_documented: >-
      Prose only — each alert is stated to include the full WHOIS record, the
      domain and its registration date.
  - name: domain-monitoring.change
    product: Domain Monitoring
    url: https://whoisfreaks.com/products/domain-monitoring
    trigger: >-
      A watched domain's registrant, registrar, nameservers, status codes or
      expiry date changes. Check frequency as often as every 10 minutes.
    channels: [email, telegram]
    payload_documented: prose only — the changed WHOIS record
    note: The product page advertises email and Telegram; it does not state webhook delivery.
  - name: registrant-monitoring.registration
    product: Registrant Monitoring
    url: https://whoisfreaks.com/products/registrant-monitoring
    trigger: >-
      A watched name, email, organization, phone or postal code registers,
      updates or drops a domain anywhere across 1528+ TLDs. Daily.
    channels: [email]
    payload_documented: 'prose only — "full WHOIS record per alert, by email and as JSON"'
pull_based_feeds:
  note: >-
    The high-volume change surface is delivered by polling files, not by push.
    These are REST operations in the OpenAPI, not events, and are listed here so
    the event picture is complete.
  feeds:
    - {name: Newly Registered Domains, cadence: twice daily, operations: [dbNewlyGtld, dbNewlyCctld, dbNewlyGtldJson, dbNewlyCctldJson, dbNewlyDns]}
    - {name: Expiring & Dropped Domains, cadence: daily, operations: [dbExpired, dbDropped, dbDroppedJson, dbDroppedBacklinks]}
    - {name: Threat Feeds (phishing/malware/spam), cadence: daily, operations: [downloadThreatFeedPhishing, downloadThreatFeedMalware, downloadThreatFeedSpam]}
    - {name: Database file status, cadence: on demand, operations: [databaseFileStatus]}
gaps:
  - No AsyncAPI document for the alert surface.
  - >-
    No webhook reference — no payload schema, no signature scheme, no retry or
    replay contract, no endpoint-registration API.
  - Webhook delivery is advertised for Brand Monitoring only; the other two
    monitoring products advertise email/Telegram.
