# Bulk Domain Availability Checker (RDAP): Any TLD, Fast (`pankajbhatia/bulk-domain-availability-checker`) Actor Check which domain names are available to register, in bulk: paste domains or generate name ideas across .com, .io, .ai and more. Taken domains show registrar, creation and expiry dates. Uses official registry RDAP. - **URL**: https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/bulk-domain-availability-checker.md - **Developed by:** [Pankaj Bhatia](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Marketing - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $0.50 / 1,000 domain checkeds This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Bulk Domain Availability Checker (RDAP): Any TLD, Fast **Find available domain names in seconds.** Paste a list of domains, or enter brand ideas and let the tool check every combination across the TLDs you choose (.com, .net, .org, .io, .ai, .co, .app, .dev and hundreds more). For each domain you get: - **Status**: available, taken, likely available or likely taken - For taken domains: **registrar**, **registration date**, **expiry date**, last changed date, status codes and nameservers - How it was checked (RDAP or DNS) It uses **RDAP**, the official modern replacement for WHOIS run by the domain registries themselves, so results come straight from the source. For the few TLDs without RDAP (such as .io, .co and some country codes), it falls back to a public DNS lookup and marks the result as "likely". ### Who is it for? - **Founders and marketers naming a brand**: test dozens of name ideas across many TLDs at once. - **Domain investors**: check big lists and see expiry dates of taken names. - **Agencies and SEO teams**: check client and competitor domains in bulk. - **App builders and AI agents**: add domain suggestions to your product with one API call. ### How to use it 1. Enter **name ideas** (like `brightloom`) and the **TLDs** to check, and optionally add **prefixes** (get, try) or **suffixes** (app, hq). 2. Or paste **full domains** to check exactly. 3. Click **Start**. Turn on **Only return available domains** to see just the free ones. ### Input example ```json { "names": ["brightloom", "loomly"], "tlds": ["com", "net", "io", "ai", "co"], "prefixes": ["get"], "domains": ["example.com"] } ``` ### Output example ```json [ {"domain": "brightloom.ai", "tld": "ai", "status": "available", "available": true, "method": "rdap"}, {"domain": "google.com", "tld": "com", "status": "taken", "available": false, "method": "rdap", "registrar": "MarkMonitor Inc.", "registeredOn": "1997-09-15", "expiresOn": "2028-09-14"} ] ``` ### How much does it cost? Pay-per-event: a small fee **per domain checked**, plus a tiny per-run start fee, with no subscription and no separate platform usage costs. For example, 1,000 domain checks cost about $0.50. Invalid domain names are **not charged**. Set **Maximum cost per run** to cap your spending. ### Good to know - "Available" means the registry has no record of the domain. Premium or reserved names may still cost more or be blocked, so always confirm at a registrar before buying. - "Likely" results come from DNS and are very reliable, but not guaranteed. - No personal registrant data is collected; registries hide it under privacy rules anyway. ### Use it through the API, integrations or AI agents Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets or Slack. AI agents can call it through the Apify MCP server. ### FAQ **Is it legal?** Yes. RDAP is a public lookup service that registries provide for exactly this purpose, and the tool spreads its requests politely. **Found a bug or need a feature?** Open an issue. We usually reply within 24 hours. ### More tools from this developer - [SAM.gov Contract Opportunities Finder & Bid Alerts](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/sam-gov-contract-opportunities): federal contract opportunities and bid alerts - [Sitemap & URL Extractor](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/sitemap-url-extractor): get every URL of a website from its sitemaps - [Website to Markdown for AI & RAG](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/website-to-markdown): turn web pages into clean Markdown for LLMs - [Tech Stack Detector](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/tech-stack-detector): find what any website is built with - [Apple App Store Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/app-store-reviews): App Store reviews and ratings for any app - [ATS Jobs Scraper](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/ats-jobs-scraper): jobs from Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workable and more - [Website Screenshot](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/website-screenshot): full-page, mobile and PDF screenshots in bulk - [PDF to Text & Markdown Extractor](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/pdf-text-extractor): extract text from PDFs for AI and search - [Domain WHOIS, DNS & SSL Checker](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/domain-whois-dns-ssl-checker): bulk domain, DNS, email security and SSL checks - [SEO Meta Tags & On-Page Audit](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/seo-meta-tags-checker): bulk on-page SEO audit with fixes - [Bulk URL Status & Broken Link Checker](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/url-status-broken-link-checker): status codes, redirect chains and broken links - [RSS & Atom Feed Reader](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/rss-feed-reader): merge and filter many news feeds - [Hacker News Scraper](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/hacker-news-scraper): HN stories, comments and Who is hiring jobs - [Academic Paper Search](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/academic-paper-search): papers from Crossref, arXiv and PubMed - [SEC EDGAR Filings & Financials](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/sec-edgar-filings-financials): 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K filings and company financials - [Apple Podcasts Scraper](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/apple-podcasts-scraper): podcast details and full episode lists - [App Store Top Charts & App Search](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/app-store-top-charts): top free, paid and grossing app rankings - [ClinicalTrials.gov Scraper](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/clinicaltrials-gov-scraper): search and export clinical trials - [USAspending Federal Awards](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/usaspending-federal-awards): who won federal contracts and grants - [Grants.gov Opportunities](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/grants-gov-opportunities): open and forecasted federal grants - [Weather Forecast & Alerts](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/weather-forecast-alerts): 9-day forecasts for any city, plus U.S. alerts - [EU TED Tenders Scraper](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/ted-eu-tenders-scraper): European public procurement notices - [Product Recalls Scraper](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/product-recalls-fda-cpsc-nhtsa): FDA, CPSC and NHTSA vehicle recalls - [Federal Register Scraper](https://apify.com/pankajbhatia/federal-register-documents): U.S. rules, notices and comment deadlines # Actor input Schema ## `names` (type: `array`): Brand or keyword ideas without a TLD, e.g. brightloom.
