Data Source

Replacement actor — original slot was "NameBio" (namebio.com). The NameBio slot was hard-blocked from Apify cloud egress: every request (including Camoufox + AUTO datacenter proxy) was answered with a Cloudflare "Attention Required!" challenge that never cleared from datacenter IPs. This actor replaces that slot with Namerific.com, the same niche (a domain sales database of premium/expired domains with prices).

Namerific is an OpenCart-style site whose pages are fully server-rendered. Verified from Apify-cloud egress with HTTP 200 on every surface this actor uses:

Surface	URL	Verified
Full catalog (paginated)	https://www.namerific.com/?page=N	200, 111 pages
Keyword search	https://www.namerific.com/?key=music	200, 2 results
Short domains	https://www.namerific.com/short-domains	200, 366 listings
Featured domains	https://www.namerific.com/featured-domains	200, 83 listings
Premium domains	https://www.namerific.com/premium-domains	200, 23 listings
Detail page	https://www.namerific.com/vajox	200

Category/tag caveat: the site's own category/tag browse URLs (?category=…, ?tag=…) are broken — they return a random subset of the catalog instead of matching domains (verified live). mode=byCategory/mode=byTag therefore walk the catalog and verify each candidate's category/tag on its detail page (authoritative source), bounded by scanLimit. mode=search uses ?key=…, which the server honors.

Listing cards expose the domain name (item_name / img-icon-name), the price (item_price / img-icon-price), a product ID (data-id / data-product_id), an optional collection badge (premium / featured / short sprite), and the logo image. Detail pages add a description, free-form tags, categories, and showcase images.

The site is not affiliated with this actor — it is a third-party marketplace scraped via its public pages.

Output per domain

Listing modes (browseAll, byCategory, byTag, byType, search) emit recordType: "domainListing":

• domainName — e.g. Vajox.com
• price — asking price in USD (integer), e.g. 999
• productId — Namerific product ID, e.g. 37906
• listingType — short / featured / premium when the card carries a badge
• category — the category slug when browsing by category (mode=byCategory)
• tag — the tag when browsing by tag (mode=byTag)
• keyword — the search keyword when using mode=search
• logoUrl — logo image, rehosted in the Apify Key-Value Store so it loads from any plain HTTP client (the origin serves images only to browser User-Agents); logoUrlOriginal keeps the namerific.com source URL
• domainUrl — canonical detail page URL
• sourceUrl, scrapedAt, recordType

Detail modes (byDomain, byUrls) emit recordType: "domainDetail":

• domainName, price, productId, domainUrl, sourceUrl, scrapedAt, recordType
• description — seller's one-line brand description
• tags[] — free-form tags, e.g. ["music", "app", "brand"]
• categories[] — category slugs shown on the detail page
• logoUrl — large logo (rehosted; logoUrlOriginal = source URL)
• showcaseImages[] — 3 marketing showcase images (rehosted; showcaseImagesOriginal[] = source URLs)

Lookups that fail (404, fetch errors) emit a typed recordType: "error" record with the failing URL and a message, so you can see exactly which domains could not be resolved.

FAQ

What is the data source? Namerific.com, a marketplace selling premium brandable .com domains with logo designs, scraped through its public server-rendered pages. No account or API key is needed.

Why did this actor replace NameBio? NameBio is protected by Cloudflare bot management that blocks every Apify datacenter IP (the challenge never clears), making it impossible to scrape from Apify cloud. Namerific covers the same data category — a domain sales database with prices — and is fully reachable.

Does search work? Yes — mode=search uses Namerific's ?key= search parameter, which the server honors (verified: ?key=music → MusicalExperts.com, MusicInstitutes.com). The old OpenCart route=product/search endpoint ignores the query, and Namerific's category/tag browse URLs return unfiltered lists, so byCategory/byTag verify matches on each domain's detail page instead. containsKeyword remains for client-side keyword filtering on any mode.

How fresh is the data? Pages are fetched live on every run; each run reflects the current listing state.

Why are some listing cards missing a price or badge? Some listings have no price or no collection badge on their card; those fields are simply omitted rather than filled with placeholders.

Do the image URLs work? Yes — logo and showcase images are automatically rehosted into the actor's Key-Value Store on every run, so the emitted logoUrl / showcaseImages[] load from any plain HTTP client with no headers. (The origin namerific.com only serves its images to browser User-Agents, returning 403 to plain clients.) The original namerific.com URLs remain available as logoUrlOriginal / showcaseImagesOriginal[] for traceability.

Are there rate limits? Namerific is a small marketplace site. The actor requests pages politely (0.3–0.6 s between pages) and retries with backoff on 429/5xx, so runs stay well within safe volumes.

Is this actor affiliated with Namerific? No — this is an independent third-party scraper using the marketplace's public pages.
