Free domain data feed

Use DropTicker’s pending and recently dropped domain lists in your own tools. Data is refreshed daily from zone file comparisons and RDAP checks; estimated dates can change.

Endpoints

Pending domains

Domains that left the zone and are on hold, in redemption, or pending delete.

GET /api/v1/pending

Recently dropped

Domains observed dropping. Some may since have been registered again.

GET /api/v1/dropped

Both endpoints return JSON by default. Add format=csv to download CSV with the same columns as each result object.

Examples

Request pending .com names with a label length of four or less:

https://dropticker.com/api/v1/pending?tld=com&maxLength=4&page=1&pageSize=2

JSON response (example values):

{
  "generatedAt": "2026-10-28T12:00:00.000Z",
  "page": 1,
  "pageSize": 2,
  "total": 1,
  "results": [{
    "domain": "abcd.com", "tld": "com", "length": 4,
    "stage": "PENDING_DELETE",
    "expectedDropDate": "2026-11-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "url": "https://dropticker.com/domain/abcd.com"
  }],
  "attribution": "Please link to https://dropticker.com when using this data."
}

Dropped results use stage: DROPPED and droppedAt in place of expectedDropDate. An unknown pending drop date is null. Dates are UTC ISO 8601 timestamps.
