## Welcome to Domain Watchdog :tada:
Domain Watchdog is a standalone application that collects RDAP open access information about domain names, to track
their history and purchase them.
Domain Watchdog is an open-source project that helps you monitor and automatically purchase domain names using the RDAP protocol. This wiki provides all the necessary information to get started, including installation, configuration, and detailed descriptions of its features.
## Why use it?
- **Historical Tracking**: Know the history of a domain name, from its inception to its release into the public domain.
- **Detailed Monitoring**: Follow the evolution of a domain name and the entities that manage it in detail.
- **Auto-purchase Domain**: You want the domain name of your dreams, but it is already taken? Domain Watchdog detects
the deletion of the domain name on WHOIS and can trigger the purchase of the domain name via a provider's API
Although the RDAP and WHOIS protocols allow you to obtain precise information about a domain, it is not possible to
perform a reverse search to discover a list of domain names associated with an entity. Additionally, accessing a
detailed history of events (ownership changes, renewals, etc.) is not feasible with these protocols.
