DomDetailer FAQ

No. There is no subscription and no monthly reset. Credits sit on your account until you spend them, whether that is next week or in three years.

One credit buys one domain metrics request, one backlinks request with up to 5,000 rows and a profile summary, or one extension coverage request checking the same name across all published TLD datasets. These are separate API calls. Successful partial extension coverage also costs one credit total. Checking your balance is free.

Yes. The browser tools, the desktop app, and the domain metrics, backlinks and extension coverage APIs all draw from the same pool. There are no separate allowances to manage.

Requests return HTTP 402 with a clear error, and the web tools disable the fetch button rather than failing quietly. Nothing renews automatically - you top up when you choose to.

A request that returns data is charged. Balance checks are always free. If a lookup fails because of a fault on our side, contact support and we will credit it back.

Yes, above the largest listed pack. Get in touch with the volume you expect and what you are building.

Yes. Many integrations ask each of their own users for a DomDetailer key so the cost sits with whoever runs the checks. Concurrency is supported up to 20 threads per account.

DomDetailer sells data, not a rank tracker, a site auditor or a keyword tool. If you need Moz Pro or the full Majestic interface and reporting, those subscriptions do things we do not replace.

Domain metrics use Moz, Majestic and Pretty. Moz and Majestic are licensed from their producers; Pretty is our own crawl index. The separate extension coverage endpoint uses downloaded registry datasets to compare the same name across extensions.

No. DomDetailer holds those licences. Not needing two subscriptions is the reason the service was built in 2015.

Pretty is DomDetailer's own web crawl and link index. It currently holds around 11.5 billion pages, 110 billion links and 237 million domains, and it is what lets us return raw backlink rows at this price.

Moz and Majestic figures are as fresh as their own index updates. Pretty is refreshed continuously as crawl data is processed, with higher-authority domains revisited more often.

Usually because the source has no record of it - a genuinely new domain, or one with no external links. A zero is a real answer, not an error. The HTTP status tells you whether the request itself succeeded.

Yes. Pass subdomain=1 to the backlinks endpoint and the query runs against the subdomain rather than the registrable domain.

It checks whether the same exact name appears in registry snapshots for the extensions you request. It adds a view of name usage across extensions to your domain research. Use checkExtensions in API v2; it is a separate request from domain metrics and backlinks.

No. It means the name was absent from the snapshot we checked. Registered domains can be missing from zone files, and registrations can change after a download. Confirm live availability with a registrar before buying.

By default, every published extension dataset is checked. New datasets join automatically after import. Summary counts are always returned; taken and not_found TLD lists are optional. If you explicitly request an extension without data, it counts as unknown, not as available.

Supported, approved extensions are scheduled to refresh daily. If older data is used, a brief stale_data warning gives the number of affected extensions. These are snapshot observations, not live registration checks.

API v2. It returns everything v1 did, plus Pretty metrics and additional Majestic fields, for the same single credit. v1 is maintained only for integrations that already use it.

Yes, applied per account. Concurrency is supported up to 20 threads. If you exceed the limit the API returns HTTP 429 with a retry_after value - back off and retry rather than hammering.

Yes, and most integrations do exactly that. The cost then sits with the person running the checks rather than with you. Tell us about it and we will list your tool on the integrations page.

Yes. It covers domain metrics, backlinks, extension coverage and the free balance check, with schemas and examples for importing into Postman, Insomnia or a code generator.

Check the marketplaces page for listings marked Live. Listings marked Preparing or In review are not available yet; use the direct API until a suitable listing is Live. Follow each Live listing's access and billing instructions. Postman collections use your own DomDetailer API key and credits.

On your account page once you are signed in. If you are signed in, the web tools use it automatically and never expose it to the browser - requests are proxied server-side.

Yes, from your account page. Any integration using the old key stops working immediately, so update those first.

Yes. It spends credits from your account exactly as the website and the API do, but the software itself costs nothing.

Through the contact page, or the helpdesk linked from your account. Include your account email and, for API problems, an example request and the response you received.
