The query operation is used to retrieve the details we hold for a domain name.  You can use this operation to query domain, account, contact and nameserver information in the register.  If you use our object based data structure, you can choose to query an object directly


How to query a domain name:

  1. Create a new email message to applications@nic.uk
  2. Use the subject TAG Query (replace TAG with your tag name in capital letters).
  3. Paste the following template into your email message:

    operation: query
    key:


    Notes:
    • It is mandatory to include values for all the fields in this template.  For more information on template fields, see our field definitions.
    • To register query multiple domain names, you can repeat the 'key:' field separated by a blank line up to 100 times.

  4. PGP sign and send the email.


You will receive a query response from the Automaton if the operation is successful.

You will receive an error from the Automaton if the operation is unsuccessful. For help identifying and resolving an unsuccessful operation, see the error messages page.
