  let data = '';
  res.on('data', (chunk) => data += chunk);
  res.on('end', () => console.log(JSON.parse(data)));
});

req.end();

GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access Domain Availability through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the domain availability data you need with precise field selection, and orchestrate complex data fetching workflows.

Credit Cost: Each API called in your GraphQL query consumes its standard credit cost.

POST https://api.apiverve.com/v1/graphql

query {
  domainavailability(
    input: {
      domain: "myspace.com"
    }
  ) {
    domain
    available
    owner {
      registrar
    }
  }
}

Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.

CORS Support

The Domain Availability API supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) with wildcard configuration, allowing you to call Domain Availability directly from browser-based applications without proxy servers.

Browser Usage: You can call Domain Availability directly from JavaScript running in the browser without encountering CORS errors. No proxy server or additional configuration needed.

Rate Limiting

Domain Availability API requests are subject to rate limiting based on your subscription plan. These limits ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all Domain Availability users.

Learn more about rate limiting →

Rate Limit Headers

When rate limits apply, each Domain Availability response includes headers to help you track your usage:

Handling Rate Limits

Free Plan: When you exceed your rate limit, Domain Availability returns a 429 Too Many Requests status code. Your application should implement appropriate backoff logic to handle this gracefully.

Paid Plans: No rate limiting or throttling applied. All paid plans (Starter, Pro, Mega) are production-ready.

Best Practices for Domain Availability:

• Monitor the rate limit headers to track your Domain Availability usage (Free plan only)
• Cache domain availability responses where appropriate to reduce API calls
• Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle Domain Availability performance

Note: Domain Availability rate limits are separate from credit consumption. You may have credits remaining but still hit rate limits when using Domain Availability on Free tier.

Error Codes

The Domain Availability API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate success or failure:
