4. ERRORS

There are some errors that can occure while using Domainindex API.

4.1 LIMIT PER SECOND

Domainindex API has limit of 10 requests per 1 second.
If you reach this limit will appear message: You've reached the request limit per second.
This limitation can be skipped by using volume query with up to 1000 domains instead many single queries.

4.2 UNSUPPORTED TLD

Domainindex supports following TLD:

  • gTLD: com, net, org, name, asia, biz, eu, xxx, info, mobi, tel, pro, aero, travel, museum, coop.
  • ccTLD: at, au, be, br, ca, cc, ch, cl, cn, co, cr, cu, cz, de, dk, es, fi, fr, ar, ag, gr, hk, hu, ie, il, in, ir, is, it, jp, kr, li, lu, md, me, mx, my, ng, nl, no, nz, pe, pk, pl, pt, ro, ru, se, sg, sk, tv, tr, tw, ua, uk, us, ve, vn, ws, za.

The message that appears if API is used for domains with unsupported tld is: Please enter one or more valid domains. Same message appears and if user add words instead domains from supported TLDs.

4.3 SPEND API REQUESTS

4.4 INVALID KEY

If user use API with wrong api key the message that will appear is: Invalid key.

4.5 INVALID MODE

If user enter mode different than xml or json the message that will appear is: Invalid mode.

5. CODE SAMPLES

To facilitate API implementation we are providing POST and GET samples. We are providing PHP samples, but as long the client language is capable of generating HTTP POST request (i.e. application/x-www-form-urlencoded), any combination of required fields submitted via either GET (appended to the URL) or via POST (in the body of POST request) should work.

5.1 POST SAMPLE

Sample PHP code for appraise

<?php

$data = array(
   'action' => 'appraise',
   'domain' => 'a.com,b.com',    // up to 1000 domains
   'mode'   => 'xml',
   'key'    => '123wera4-318a-4op5-mi6q-sub39venc11f'    // your api key
);

$ch = curl_init('https://domainindex.com/api.php?action=appraise');
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
   CURLOPT_POST  => TRUE,
   CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $data,
   CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE,
));
$result = curl_exec($ch);

echo $result;

?>

5.1 GET SAMPLE

Sample PHP code for appraise

<?php

$data = array(
   'action' => 'appraise',
   'domain' => 'example.com',     // up to 1000 domains separated by comma
   'mode'   => 'json',
   'key'    => '123wera4-318a-4op5-mi6q-sub39venc11f'    // your api key
);

$url = 'https://domainindex.com/api.php?' . http_build_query($data); $result = file_get_contents($url);

echo $result;

// Decode JSON response
$decoded = json_decode($result, TRUE);
print_r($decoded);
       
?>
