Data & subscriptions

The whole history, and the raw data.

Every report on Watchtower is a public snapshot of the latest edition. Behind it sits a growing, queryable history of the entire .au namespace — 2 editions and counting, 3,570,024 domains at the last sweep. That depth is available to subscribers.

What's in the data

Four layers, joined per domain.

Registry (RDAP)

Registrar, registrant class, status flags and DNSSEC for every registered .au — monthly, registry-authoritative.

DNS & MX

A / AAAA / NS resolution, mail exchangers and the operators behind them, per domain.

Email authentication

SPF, DMARC and DNSSEC posture across the whole namespace.

Hosting & builders

Hosting / CDN operator by ASN and detectable site-builder platform, per domain.

All access is aggregate / domain-level. Watchtower does not sell registrant personal information, and bulk WHOIS data is handled in line with auDA's terms and the Privacy Act. Not an auDA publication.
