    Whois: looking for open bulk batch domain whois service

    Hello,

    I would like to develop a desktop application that would take a list of hundreds or thousands of domain names, perform a whois on each entry and put the data in a local database.

    All whois services that I know of put a low limit on how many whois requests you can perform each day.

    Is there an open whois service that I can access without limitations?

    Thanks!

    no, otherwise everyone would mass whois and start spamming everyone else

    Is there a legitimate way for me to do this for a fee?
