RDAP lookup
The .schaeffler RDAP endpoint is https://rdap.nic.schaeffler/domain/. RDAP returns structured JSON over HTTPS (RFC 9082 and RFC 9083); append the domain name to the endpoint:
curl -H 'Accept: application/rdap+json' https://rdap.nic.schaeffler/domain/example.schaefflerWHOIS lookup
The .schaeffler WHOIS server listed by IANA is whois.afilias-srs.net. WHOIS (RFC 3912) is the older plain-text protocol on TCP port 43:
whois -h whois.afilias-srs.net example.schaefflerWhich protocol does W.is use?
W.is queries RDAP first for .schaeffler domains and falls back to WHOIS when the RDAP server returns an error or leaves out data.

How do I check who owns a .schaeffler domain?
Enter the domain in the search box on this page. W.is shows the registrar, registration and expiration dates, status codes and name servers reported by the .schaeffler registry. Owner (registrant) details are often redacted for privacy; in that case the registrar is usually the way to reach the owner. Our guide on how to find a domain owner covers the other options.
When does a .schaeffler domain expire?
Each .schaeffler domain has its own expiration date, set by how long it was registered or renewed for. Look the domain up on W.is to see the expiration date reported by the registry. As with other ICANN-contracted TLDs, a .schaeffler registration term can be at most 10 years. Our domain expiration guide explains what happens after a domain expires.
