DomainTools API Guide: Domain Search
The DomainTools API is organized into distinct products with queries that follow a REST-ful URL structure wherever possible. Each product offers free, un-authenticated access for the sample URLs listed with each product. If you haven't already, you may want to review the getting started document to learn about authentication and response formats.
The Domain Search API searches for domain names that match your specific search string. Unlike Domain Suggestions, Domain Search finds currently registered or previously registered domain names that are either currently registered or have been registered in the past under one of the major gTLD's (.com, .net, .org, .info, .us, or .biz). You have the option to control whether the results include domain names with hyphens and/or numbers, to limit the length of domain names, and to filter for only active or deleted domains.
