Dom-Verify API Documentation

Business

The Dom-Verify API lets you analyze expired domains programmatically — directly from your scripts, internal tools, or automated workflows — without going through the web interface.

Base URL

https://dom-verify.com/api

Format

JSON

Required plan

Business (€99/month)

Authentication

Every request must include your API key in the X-API-Key header. Keys follow the format dv_sk_... and are generated from your dashboard.

# Required header on all requests X-API-Key: dv_sk_your_key_here

⚠️ Never share your API key. Store it in an environment variable, never hardcoded in your source code.
