Example Test URL Request

https://test.httpapi.com/api/domains/idn-available.json?auth-userid=0&api-key;=key&domain-name;=ѯҋ111&domain-name;=ѯҋ112&tld;=com&idnLanguageCode;=aze

Response

Returns a hash map containing domain name availability status for the requested TLDs:

  • available - domain name available for registration

  • regthroughus - domain name currently registered through the Registrar whose connection is being used to check the availability of the domain name

  • regthroughothers - domain name currently registered through a Registrar other than the one whose connection is being used to check the availability of the domain name. If you wish to manage such a domain name through your Reseller / Registrar Account, you may pass a Domain Transfer API call. 1

  • unknown - returned, if for some reason, the Registry connections are not available. You should ideally re-check the domain name availability after some time.

    Note

    In case of .CA TLD, domain name availability can be checked for a maximum of 15 strings in one API call. Including more than 15 strings in an API call will return the status as unknown for all the strings.
