POST /v1/domains/search

Authentication

Send an API key as a bearer token. The key must carry the sites.view permission; a key without it is refused with 403, not 404.

This endpoint takes no organisation id. Your key already identifies the organisation it belongs to, and the response is scoped to it.

Try it

Replace anything in angle brackets with your own values, and the key placeholder with a key from your dashboard.

curl -X POST https://api.zinndigital.com/v1/domains/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer zdk_live_…" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "query": <string> }'

Signed in? The API console in your dashboard fills in your real organisation id and your own key, and runs the request against the live API so you can see the actual response. Open this endpoint in the API console

Details

Checks availability + price for candidate names and returns a signed availability token for each name that is available in a TLD we offer. The token is what a domain_register cart line carries; checkout re-verifies it (a stale/taken one → 409, no charge) — so registration/transfer happen through the cart/checkout flow, and this is the "find one to buy" half. A dotted query is checked as one exact FQDN; a bare name is checked across the requested tlds (or every offered TLD when none are given). Rate-limited. Requires sites.view. A query that cannot be a domain name (spaces, a label over 63 characters, a leading/trailing hyphen, an empty label) is 422 with refusal refusal.domains.domainName, before any registrar is asked; an internationalised name is judged by its IDNA A-label.
