🎯 Expired Domain Sniper - Daily Drops Domains

What does Expired Domain Sniper do?

Expired Domain Sniper delivers fresh daily lists of expired and dropped domains — up to 10,000 domains per feed, every single day. It aggregates publicly available domain drop data, deduplicates it, filters it by TLD, and returns clean structured records you can export straight to JSON, CSV, or Excel.

Built for domain investing, drop-catching, and SEO research. No browser, no proxies, no login, no API key. Most runs finish in seconds.

Why use Expired Domain Sniper?

Finding a fresh list of dropped or expired domains normally means visiting a registrar-style site, dealing with logins, or paying for API access. This Actor automates the pipeline:

• 🔍 Filter by TLD — narrow results to the extensions you care about
• 📦 Structured output — JSON, CSV, or Excel ready to import into your workflow
• ⏱️ Fast runs — typically a few seconds, no browser overhead
• 🔁 Schedule daily — the source refreshes once a day
• 🔗 Integrate anywhere — connect to Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, or your own API via Apify integrations

Common use cases:

• Domain investors scanning for freshly dropped or expired names
• SEO professionals looking for candidate domains to research further
• Developers building domain monitoring or drop-catching workflows
• Researchers tracking domain churn across TLDs

What data can Expired Domain Sniper extract?

Field	Type	Description
domain	string	Full domain name (e.g. example.com)
tld	string	Top-level domain without dot
status	string	dropped (available now) or expired (recently lapsed)
scrapedAt	string	ISO 8601 timestamp of when this record was collected

This feed lists domain names only — it does not include registration dates, Wayback Machine history, or social-mention signals. If you need that context, look up individual domains after collecting this list.

How to use it

1. Open the Actor and click Try for free
2. Set the status filter — dropped for domains available to register right now, expired for recently lapsed domains, or all for both
3. Add TLD filters (optional) — enter TLDs without the dot: com, org, net. Leave empty to keep all TLDs in the feed
4. Set maxResults — start with 50–100 for a test run, up to 10,000 for the full daily feed
5. Click Start — results appear in the Output tab within seconds
6. Export — download as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Output tab, or connect to Google Sheets via Apify integrations

Schedule for daily monitoring: the source refreshes once a day; set a daily schedule to always get a fresh dataset.

Input

See the Input tab for the full configuration form. Key fields:

• Status (dropped / expired / all) — which daily feed(s) to fetch
• TLDs — array of TLDs without dot, leave empty for everything in the feed
• maxResults — keep low (50–200) for quick tests, up to 10,000 for the full feed

Output

You can download the dataset in various formats such as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Output tab.

Example output record:

}

Changelog — August 2026

The upstream data source this Actor originally relied on went offline, which caused runs to complete without returning any domains. The Actor now pulls from an actively maintained public domain-drop feed, and is returning full daily results again.

What changed for you:

• ✅ Runs return data again — up to 10,000 fresh domains per feed, per day
• ✅ Runs now fail loudly if the source is unreachable, instead of finishing "succeeded" with an empty dataset
• ⚠️ Fewer fields per domain — the new feed publishes domain names only. The previous enrichment fields (ageYears, waybackCount, wikipediaRefs, hnMentions, redditMentions, ctCerts, ctSubdomains, registrar, registerUrl, registeredAt, expiresAt, droppedAt) are no longer available, and the matching filters (minAge, minWayback, minHnMentions, minRedditMentions) have been removed from the input.

If you relied on those signals, collect the domain list with this Actor and enrich it in a separate step — the Wayback Machine CDX API and certificate-transparency logs both accept domain lookups.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Is this legal to use? Yes. This Actor aggregates domain registration data that is published publicly and requires no authentication to access. It does not log in anywhere, bypass access controls, or touch private data. Expired and dropped domain names are public registry information.

Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what has been chosen to be shared publicly. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world — do not use domain lists to target individuals without a legitimate reason.

The data looks the same every run — is it stale? The source updates once a day. Running multiple times on the same day will return identical results.
