Generate domain names
POST /domains/generate supports deterministic keyword generation and two AI
types:
- A
keywordrequest runs the Buy Domains keyword search engine with Partner-safe neutral prefixes and suffixes. It does not call Spider or AI. type: "branded"requires a website URL. Spider reads the website and concurrent AI workers generate brand-led names.type: "generic"accepts a website URL or a description. URLs use Spider. Descriptions skip Spider. Generic names do not use the brand.
getlistkithq.com. These keep the requested TLDs and share the same check and time
limits. Generic AI searches do not use this extra layer.
Generation checks up to 300 unique candidates in batches of 100, stopping once
the requested limit is filled, the candidate pool is exhausted, or the request
budget is reached (15 seconds for keywords, 25 for AI). The response includes
partial: true when fewer names than requested were returned. Registrar checks
allow up to five seconds each, shortened when the request budget is nearly spent.
AI requests have a 25-second end-to-end ceiling. If Spider or AI fails, times
out, or returns nothing usable, the request falls back to deterministic keyword
generation inside that same ceiling.
GET /domains/tlds is the authoritative live TLD allowlist and pricing
catalog. It currently returns all 22 active pricingTlds rows. Do not hardcode
that count. If you omit tlds, generate uses .com only.
limit accepts 1 through 150 and is the total number of domain names across all
requested TLDs, not a per-TLD count. If the candidate pool does not have that
many qualifying names, the response contains fewer.
Fastly registrar availability is always required. Google and Microsoft tenant
probes run only for names Fastly says are available. If those probes fail or
time out, generation falls back to Fastly availability. A confirmed Google or
Microsoft tenant claim is still excluded. TLD group keys have no leading dot
and empty groups are omitted. limited keys can call this endpoint.
Google Workspace rejects any domain whose name contains gmail or google,
including those letters spanning joined words (bozmarketingmail.com contains
gmail). Partner generate drops those names from suggestions without calling
the registrar or tenant providers, so a keyword of google can return an
empty set. This search rule is independent of later order provider mix.
Check names you already have
POST /domains/availability accepts up to 50 domains.
Each result says whether the domain is free to register and which mailbox types
it can take. Names that contain gmail or google return
available: false with reason: "unsupported_domain_name" and
usable_for: [] without calling the registrar or tenant providers.
How to use the response
ForPOST /domains/generate, use the names in each TLD array. They are
registrar-available. Tenant checks are best effort during generation, with the
Fastly fallback described above.
For POST /domains/availability, show rows where available is true and
usable_for includes the mailbox type you are buying.
An uncached provider lookup can take several seconds. Show a loading state and
avoid a short client timeout.
Sandbox results
Sandbox keys use active Peeker TLD pricing but make no registrar or tenant provider calls. Results are deterministic:- Names containing
premiumreturnreason: "premium". - Names containing
takenorunavailablereturnreason: "unavailable". - Names containing
google-onlyormicrosoft-onlylimitusable_for. - Other names on a supported TLD are available for both mailbox types.
- Unsupported TLDs return
reason: "unsupported_tld".
