Features¶
Confidence In Data Security¶
With ISO27001:2013 certification, robust technology and clearly defined policies and procedures, you can trust Email Hippo with your data.
See Data Privacy for more information.
Consistent, parsed records¶
Note
Parsed records are available in Professional and Enterprise About Editions.
WHOIS records are intrinsically designed for humans to read and records come in different formats according to the choices made by an individual Domain Name Registrar and the Domain Name Registry.
For any serious application demanding data in a predictable, consistent machine readable format, the standard WHOIS system will not work. This is where Email Hippo adds value to the WHOIS system by adding services capable of reading the relatively chaotic structure of WHOIS records into relaible, prdictable and machine readable formats.
Machine Readable Dates¶
For ultimate in machine integration compatibility, Email Hippo returns dates and durations in ISO 8601 standard formats.
> 99.9% Service Availability¶
Fully load balanced and automatic fail-over systems dispersed across multiple data centers in multiple regions deliver enterprise grade resilience.
See Service Reliability for more information on availability and SLA.
Easy Integration¶
See Client Libraries to see how quick and easy it is to integrate with our services from over 19 different technologies and platforms.
Fanatical Service Quality Management (SQM)¶
Email Hippo operational staff obsessively monitor services to ensure the best possible uptime and coverage.
Uptime and functional correctness is actively monitored on a minute by minute basis from multiple data centers dispersed across North America, Europe and Asia.
Fast, Transparent Response Times¶
Every query response includes stopwatch data that shows the time taken to execute the request.
Unrivalled Performance¶
Strategic data centers in Europe, aggressive caching, global network delivery optimization and cloud based auto-scaling deliver outstanding performance. Typical queries are answered between 0.2 to 1.5 seconds.
Note
Thoughtful Versioning¶
Endpoints are “versioned”. This means that Email Hippo can continue to release new functionality without “breaking” existing clients committed to integrating with our systems on legacy endpoints.
What it does¶
Email Hippo is used to query WHOIS records in real-time.
