Domain Search via API

Web search lies about domain availability. Only the registrar API gives accurate data.

Why not web search

Results are outdated. WHOIS isn’t always accurate. Domain snipers interfere.

Solution — API

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.porkbun.com/api/json/v3/domain/checkDomain/example.com" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"apikey":"KEY","secretapikey":"SECRET"}'

But Porkbun is slow: 1 request per 10 seconds. For bulk — Name.com API: 50 domains in a single request.

Lesson: don’t trust search engines for domain checks. Go to the source.
