Domain tracker integration

Home Assistant is fast becoming my main “monitoring” station for a variety of things.

One thing I think would be useful, is the ability to track web domains i.e. example.com.

As a web developer I’d like to “track” the domains I own and when they expire.

I’d also like to monitor domains e.g. domainiwantobuy.com and get alerted via a Home Assistant automation when the domain becomes available.

A Home Assistant integration seems suitable for the above, with sensors holding the information.

Has anyone else had desire for this, or come across any existing solutions? Perhaps there’s an existing API which could provide the data?

I would think this is in the scope of a custom component, regardless the domain industry uses something called RDAP which should take care of this.

Here is a rdap request:

Isn’t there a scraper component?

You could do a rest sensor
