DATA CONTRACT

Useful because the caveats travel with it.

Stable fields

Every endpoint declares a schema version. Fields may be added; existing fields will not be silently redefined within a schema version.

Source fidelity

DomainSense normalizes primary records but does not convert registration counts into claims about people, organizations, traffic, usage, or value.

Availability

The service is public and cacheable, but it is not sold as a guaranteed infrastructure dependency. Keep the source links and cache responsibly.
