Expired & Dropped Domains — Daily Feed

Who is this for

Threat-intelligence, brand-protection, and SOC teams that need a daily, machine-readable list of expired and dropped domain names to watch for phishing infrastructure, typosquatting, and re-registration abuse — and feed it into blocklists, watchlists, and enrichment pipelines.

Domain investors and drop-catchers use the same feed to spot names returning to the available pool.

What you get

• 📅 A fresh list every day — up to 10,000 dropped domains and 10,000 recently expired domains, deduplicated and ready in seconds.
• 🔤 TLD filtering — narrow to the extensions you monitor.
• 📤 Structured output — JSON, CSV, or Excel; connect to Google Sheets, Slack, or your own API through Apify integrations.

Sample output

{
  "domain": "hnddh.com",
  "tld": "com",
  "status": "dropped",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-10T21:56:20.805Z"
}

Field	Type	Description
domain	string	Full domain name
tld	string	Top-level domain — the last label, no dot (example.com → com, foo.in.net → net)
status	string	dropped (fully released, may be available now) or expired (recently lapsed, may still be in redemption)
scrapedAt	string	ISO 8601 timestamp of the run

The feed publishes domain names only — no registrar, registration dates, Wayback history, or backlink data. Match the list against your own brand strings or push it through RDAP / certificate-transparency / Wayback lookups in a separate step.

Input

Option	What it does
Status	dropped, expired, or all (both feeds, split evenly up to your max)
TLDs	List of TLDs without the dot (com, net, io). Matches the last label, so net also catches example.in.net. Empty = every TLD in the feed.
Max results	Default 1,000. Up to 10,000 per feed (20,000 with all).

Run it on a schedule. The source refreshes once a day — a daily schedule keeps your dataset current. Running more than once a day returns the same data.

Technical notes

• Source: the public daily-expired-and-dropped-domains feed published on GitHub by WhoisFreaks. No login, no API key.
• Coverage: this free feed carries ~10,000 domains per list per day with partial gTLD coverage and no country-code TLDs (.it, .de, .uk, …). It is a same-list-per-day snapshot with roughly a one-day delay from the actual drop.
• Reliability: the run retries transient network errors and fails loudly if the source is unreachable or returns something that isn't a domain list — it will not finish "succeeded" with an empty or partial dataset.
• Speed / cost: no browser, no proxy. Two HTTP requests per run; most runs finish in a few seconds.

Legal

This Actor reads a domain list that its publisher makes publicly available on GitHub. It does not log in anywhere, bypass access controls, or touch private data. Expired and dropped domain names are public registry information.

Our Actors do not extract private personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the EU and other regulations worldwide — do not use domain lists to target individuals without a legitimate reason.
