Search

The search method performs a real-time query of the search term(s) against the known zone database, making recommendations, stemming, applying Unicode folding, IDN normalization, registrar supported-zone restrictions, and other refinements.

The server responds with a JSON object containing search result(s) or an error.

Search method responses do not include domain availability status.
