The Get Domain Name Availability API allows you to instantly check whether a domain name is available for registration, and also provides detailed information about the domain if it is already taken. This tool is essential for users looking to secure a domain for their brand or project.
When you make a query, the API responds with the name of the domain queried, its availability status (true/false), the general status of the request (status: “ok”), possible errors, and if the domain is already registered, it also displays the name of the registrar, such as “GoDaddy.com, LLC.” This type of information is crucial for evaluating opportunities, detecting occupied domains, initiating purchase processes, or investigating possible transfers.
The API is fast, reliable, and can be easily integrated into search forms, domain purchase assistants, dashboards, or mobile applications. In addition, it can be used as a basis for automated name suggestion and validation processes.
To use this endpoint, you must specify a domain in the parameter.

The API returns data regarding the availability status of a queried domain, including whether it is available for registration (true/false), the general status of the request, possible errors, and registrar details if the domain is taken.
Key fields in the response include "domain" (the queried domain name), "availability" (boolean status), "status" (request status), "errors" (if any), and "registrar" (name of the registrar for taken domains).
The response data is structured in a JSON format, with key-value pairs for each field. For example, a successful response might look like: {"domain": "example.com", "availability": false, "status": "ok", "registrar": "GoDaddy.com, LLC."}.
The API provides information on domain availability, request status, error messages, and registrar details for registered domains, making it useful for domain registration and management.
Users can customize their requests by specifying different domain names in the query parameter. Each request will return data specific to the queried domain.
The data is sourced from domain registrars and authoritative databases that track domain registrations, ensuring that the information is up-to-date and reliable.
Typical use cases include checking domain availability for new projects, evaluating existing domains for purchase, and integrating domain search functionality into websites or applications.
Users can utilize the returned data to make informed decisions about domain registration, initiate purchase processes for taken domains, or explore alternative domain names based on availability status.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs.

But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
