• lookup_domain

  Check whether a specific domain is currently listed in a GoDaddy expiry or Buy Now auction, and if so its appraisal, current price, bid count and close time. Use this before suggesting a domain name to someone, so the suggestion is one they can actually buy. Covers GoDaddy auctions ONLY: a "not listed" result says nothing about whether the domain is registered or available elsewhere.

• list_auctions

  List live GoDaddy auctions that already carry at least one bid. Sort by soonest closing, most bids, biggest appraisal-to-price gap, or lowest price. Filter by extension and maximum price. Auctions that have already closed are excluded.

• market_stats

  Headline figures for the GoDaddy auction market today: how many domains are listed, how many carry a bid, median appraisal, and the measured CEILING on how often a listed domain sells. The sell-through figure is an upper bound and not a rate: a seller withdrawing a listing looks identical to a sale in this feed. Do not quote it as the probability a domain will sell.

• bid_rates

  How the share of listings carrying a bid varies by GoDaddy appraisal band and by how close the auction is to closing. Useful for judging whether an appraisal means anything at a given value, and for telling a domain owner whether their listing is in a band where anything trades.

• tld_stats

  Bid rate and average appraisal for each domain extension with at least 400 listings. Shows which extensions actually attract bidders and which are dead inventory.
