Domain Activity API
Daily feeds of newly registered and deleted gTLD domains, sourced directly from zone files. Over 240 million domains monitored with 10 to 12 million changes surfaced every 24 hours.
What the feed contains
Zone files for generic top-level domains are made available daily by ICANN-accredited registries. CodePunch processes these files across all gTLDs, compares each day against the previous, and produces structured feeds of domains that have been added or deleted in that 24-hour window.
The result is a comprehensive view of domain registration activity across the entire gTLD namespace, updated once per day. New domains typically appear in the feed within 24 hours of registration.

Features
Daily Added Domains
Every gTLD domain newly registered in the past 24 hours, derived from zone file comparison. 10 to 12 million additions per day across all gTLDs.
Daily Deleted Domains
Domains that have dropped from the zone file since the previous day's snapshot. Comparable volume to additions, processed in the same daily update cycle.
Keyword Position Monitoring
Filter the daily feed by keyword, with position matching at start, end, middle, or anywhere in the domain name. Non-IDN domain names only.
Trademark and Malware Analysis
Built-in support for trademark monitoring and malware-related keyword tracking across the daily domain activity stream.
