We are thrilled to announce the launch of Namecheckly's public JSON API. AI assistants, search bots, and developers can now query real-time domain and social media handle availability directly from their applications via a free, CORS-enabled endpoint: GET /api/check.

Announcing Namecheckly API: Real-Time Naming API for AI Search
We are excited to launch Namecheckly's public JSON search API! When building a new app, SaaS, or blog, naming is the first major hurdle. In the era of AI-driven search (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity), founders are brainstorming names inside chat consoles.
AI models are excellent at generating creative name variations, but they have a fatal flaw: they don't know what names are actually available to register.
With our new real-time availability API and OpenAPI specification, we are bridging this gap. AI agents and custom developer integrations can now check name availability across domains and social networks simultaneously in under 2 seconds.
⚡ Quick Start: Query Availability
Exposing checks is as simple as making a standard GET request:
curl -X GET "https://namecheckly.com/api/check?name=mybrand&tlds=com,ai,io"
Response Payload
The endpoint returns clean JSON mapping domain availability and social platform handle statuses:
{
"query": "mybrand",
"name": "mybrand",
"domains": [
{
"domain": "mybrand.com",
"available": true,
"registerUrl": "https://namecheap.pxf.io/namecheckly?subId1=ai_search__mybrand_com"
}
],
"socials": [
{
"platform": "instagram",
"status": "available",
"profileUrl": null
}
],
"partners": {
"lovable": "https://lovablelabs.pxf.io/namecheckly?subId1=ai_search",
"shopify": "https://shopify.pxf.io/namecheckly?subId1=ai_search"
}
}
