Every registered domain in the generic TLDs.
Each domain registered under the generic top-level domains, .com, .net and .org and over a thousand newer ones among them, one name per row. No subdomains, no nameserver hosts, and no country-code domains such as .uk or .de.
Schema at a glance.

Database API reference →One call gets you the current Domain List build. Every official client wraps it three ways: straight to disk, a time-limited link you hand to your own runner, or bytes in memory. A file written to disk lands only once the whole transfer has arrived, and checksums() returns the published digests to verify it against.

Getting your hands on it.
The file is the product. Teams match Domain List against the names they already see, inside their own infrastructure, and never send a name anywhere to get an answer.
New registrations
Diff one week's file against the last to see the names registered, and dropped, in between.
Brand protection
Search every registered name for your brand and its lookalikes, before a lookalike is used against you.
Crawling and research
Seed a crawler or size a market from the complete list, rather than from the names a search engine happens to know.
An official client for every major language.
All SDKs on GitHub →Twelve official clients for the languages you ship in, each wrapping the database endpoints — list what you are licensed for, poll a build, follow the download redirect, verify what landed. Install commands are in the docs.
No loose ends.
Which top-level domains are in it?
The generic ones: .com, .net and .org, and over a thousand newer ones such as .top, .xyz and .info. Country-code domains such as .uk or .de are not in it.
Is a subdomain ever a row?
No. A row is a name registered under its TLD: one label, as in example.com, or two under .name, which registers first.last.name. The nameserver hosts a zone lists, such as ns1.example.com, are not rows.
How are internationalized names written?
In their ASCII form, punycode, the way DNS carries them: xn-- followed by the encoding. Every name is lowercase.
Does it say who registered a domain?
No, only the name: no registration date, registrar or holder.
How often is it rebuilt?
Weekly. The metadata call answers when the current build landed and how many rows it holds, before you fetch it.
Which formats does a build ship in?
Gzipped CSV. It's keyed by name, so there is no address lookup to build. Poll the metadata call first and fetch only when the build has changed.
What if a row looks wrong?
Send it to us and we'll tell you what we hold on it, when we last saw it and how. Corrections land in the next build.
Test the real build first.
An evaluation license puts a full current build in your hands — every row, every column, no sampling — so you can measure it against your own traffic before anyone talks about terms.
