This feature might serve as a solution for #6912 #7302

🔖 Feature description

To request information about domains in TLDs that have not yet officially declared their RDAP endpoint to the IANA, custom RDAP service addresses can be used.
These services can be provided by both the TLD registry and registrars.
Additionally, it would be worthwhile to explicitly allow setting the frequency of the RDAP survey to avoid imposing restrictions on the user by the endpoint owner for abusing the service.

✔️ Solution

Add a global configuration (dictionary) for custom RDAP endpoints in the application instance.

In the resource settings, add the option to specify the RDAP polling frequency separately (I suspect the value should be in days).

❓ Alternatives

Another option is to await the official publication of endpoints by the TLD registry, though the timelines for this are uncertain. As discussed earlier, using WHOIS is not an option since the information lacks a standardized format.

📝 Additional Context

The RDAP endpoints of some ccTLDs are not published in the IANA registry, however they may exist.
Even the absence of an official RDAPf for TLD does not exclude the possibility of others. For Russian domains (.ru, .рф, .su, .moscow, .дети...) domain name registrars offer their own RDAP endpoints.
Naturally, such endpoints will be missing from the IANA lists, but this does not limit their use in order to obtain information about the timing of domain registration if the user trusts the registrar.
However, registrars can set limits on the frequency of requests to their RDAP endpoint from a single IP.
