Can I do unlimited requests?

I have a question. Most of the WhoIs python packages require a WhoIs API key. This one doesn't. Can I do unlimited requests and if so is this package just scraping the data from some website to check if it is available?

This package and the successor whoisdomain use the native Linux/Mac/windows command line "whois" to do it's work. No keys required.
