Afternic Domain Search & Price Checker

Batch-check domain names against the public marketplace data used by Afternic and GoDaddy.

Afternic no longer provides a public browseable catalog. Its buyer flow delegates domain discovery to GoDaddy, which distributes Afternic aftermarket inventory. This Actor focuses on the useful workflow users actually need: checking specific domains for a live Afternic listing and extracting structured sale information.

How it works

The Actor requests Afternic's public per-domain listing page and reads its server-rendered structured data. No browser or paid proxy is needed. A 404 is treated as useful data (not_listed), not as a failed scrape.

Data extracted

• Afternic listing and for-sale status
• Buy-now price and minimum offer in USD
• Auction/listing ID
• Seller username and public profile URL
• Direct Afternic listing and GoDaddy checkout URLs

Example input

{
  "domains": [
    "voice.today",
    "exampleactor.com"
  ],
  "maxItems": 100,
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}

Example result

{
  "queryDomain": "voice.today",
  "recordType": "exact",
  "domain": "voice.today",
  "availability": "listed_for_sale",
  "isPurchasable": true,
  "isAftermarket": true,
  "isListed": true,
  "buyNowPrice": 3800,
  "buyNowPriceDisplay": "$3,800.00",
  "minimumOfferPrice": 3800,
  "currency": "USD",
  "auctionId": "280603025",
  "sellerUsername": "caowei",
  "searchUrl": "https://www.afternic.com/domain/voice.today"
}

Prices and availability change continuously. Treat every result as a current marketplace observation, not a guaranteed offer.

Monetization events

The Actor emits domain-check for each input domain result. A suggested launch price is $0.002 per check. No owner-funded proxy is used. Remove the automatic apify-default-dataset-item event in Apify Console to avoid charging twice. Keep the synthetic Actor start event at Apify's recommended default.

The Actor inspects each charge result and gracefully aborts its crawler when the user's maximum run charge is reached.
