Does AltFTool have a WHOIS lookup?

Yes, using RDAP - the structured JSON protocol that replaced WHOIS. AltF DomainOps reports registration, expiration and last-changed events when the registry publishes them, alongside the domain's DNS and mail policy records.

Why is competition for WHOIS lookups only medium?

The head term is dominated by registrars, but the intent behind it is usually diagnostic rather than transactional. The research below treats a single readable report - registration plus DNS plus mail policy - as the differentiator, not the raw record dump.

Source and meaning of each figure on this page
Figure	Where it comes from
Opportunity score	AltFTool editorial judgement on a 0-100 scale. It is not measured, not audited and not a prediction of commercial success.
Monthly search	A directional third-party estimate where one is recorded. Where none is, the figure reads "Researching" rather than showing a made-up number.
Competition and momentum	Editorial labels, not metrics from an SEO platform.
Relative search interest	The only live figure on this page. It is fetched from Google Trends when you load the page and is a 0-100 relative index, not absolute volume.
