Namesilo bulk domain availability checker
Introduction
The namesilo Bulk Domain Availability workflow is a powerful automation solution designed to check the registration status of multiple domains simultaneously using the Namesilo API.
This workflow efficiently processes large lists of domains by splitting them into manageable batches, adhering to API rate limits, and compiling the results into a convenient Excel spreadsheet.
It eliminates the tedious process of manually checking domains one by one, saving significant time for domain investors, web developers, and digital marketers. The workflow is particularly valuable during brainstorming sessions for new projects, when conducting domain portfolio audits, or when preparing domain acquisition strategies.
By automating the domain availability check process, users can quickly identify available domains for registration without the hassle of navigating through multiple web interfaces.
Who is this for?
This workflow is ideal for:
- Domain investors and flippers who need to check multiple domains quickly
- Web developers and agencies evaluating domain options for client projects
- Digital marketers researching domain availability for campaigns
- Business owners exploring domain options for new ventures
- IT professionals managing domain portfolios
Users should have basic familiarity with n8n workflow concepts and a Namesilo account to obtain an API key. No coding knowledge is required, though understanding of domain name systems would be beneficial.
What problem is this workflow solving?
Checking domain availability one-by-one is a time-consuming and tedious process, especially when dealing with dozens or hundreds of potential domains. This workflow solves several key challenges:
- Manual Inefficiency: Eliminates the need to individually search for each domain through registrar websites.
- Rate Limiting: Handles API rate limits automatically with built-in waiting periods.
- Data Organization: Compiles availability results into a structured Excel file rather than scattered notes or multiple browser tabs.
- Bulk Processing: Processes up to 200 domains per batch, with the ability to handle unlimited domains across multiple batches.
- Time Management: Frees up valuable time that would otherwise be spent on repetitive manual checks.
What this workflow does
Overview
The workflow takes a list of domains, processes them in batches of up to 200 domains per request (to comply with API limitations), checks their availability using the Namesilo API, and compiles the results into an Excel spreadsheet showing which domains are available for registration and which are already taken.
Process
- Input Setup: The workflow begins with a manual trigger and uses the "Set Data" node to collect the list of domains to check and your Namesilo API key.
- Domain Processing: The "Convert & Split Domains" node transforms the input list into batches of up to 200 domains to comply with API limitations.
- Batch Processing: The workflow loops through each batch of domains.
- API Integration: For each batch, the "Namesilo Requests" node sends a request to the Namesilo API to check domain availability.
- Data Parsing: The "Parse Data" node processes the API response, extracting information about which domains are available and which are taken.
- Rate Limit Management: A 5-minute wait period is enforced between batches to respect Namesilo's API rate limits.
- Data Compilation: The "Merge Results" node combines all the availability data.
- Output Generation: Finally, the "Convert to Excel" node creates an Excel file with two columns: Domain and Availability (showing "Available" or "Unavailable" for each domain).
Setup
- Import the workflow: Download the workflow JSON file and import it into your n8n instance.
- Get Namesilo API key: Create a free account at Namesilo and obtain your API key from https://www.namesilo.com/account/api-manager
- Configure the workflow:
- Open the "Set Data" node
- Enter your Namesilo API key in the "Namesilo API Key" field
- Enter your list of domains (one per line) in the "Domains" field
- Save and activate: Save the workflow and run it using the manual trigger.
How to customize this workflow to your needs
- Modify domain input format: You can adjust the code in the "Convert & Split Domains" node if your domain list comes in a different format.
- Change batch size: If needed, you can modify the batch size (currently set to 200) in the "Convert & Split Domains" node to accommodate different API limitations.
- Adjust wait time: If you have a premium API account with different rate limits, you can modify the wait time in the "Wait" node.
- Enhance output format: Customize the "Convert to Excel" node to add additional columns or formatting to the output file.
- Add domain filtering: You could add a node before the API request to filter domains based on specific criteria (length, keywords, TLDs).
- Integrate with other services: Connect this workflow to domain registrars to automatically register available domains that meet your criteria.
n8n Bulk Domain Availability Checker
This n8n workflow provides a robust solution for checking the availability of multiple domain names in bulk. It's designed to process a list of domains, query a domain availability API for each, and then compile the results into a file, making it easy to review which domains are available.
What it does
This workflow automates the following steps:
- Manual Trigger: Initiates the workflow upon a manual click, allowing for on-demand execution.
- Edit Fields (Set): Prepares the input data by defining a list of domain names to be checked. This is where you'd specify the domains you're interested in.
- Loop Over Items (Split in Batches): Processes the list of domain names one by one, ensuring each domain is checked individually.
- HTTP Request: For each domain, it makes an API call to a domain availability service (e.g., NameSilo's API, or a similar service). This node is configured to send the domain name as a parameter and receive availability information.
- Wait: Introduces a pause between API requests. This is crucial for respecting API rate limits and preventing your IP from being blocked by the domain availability service.
- Code: Processes the raw API response for each domain. It extracts the availability status and the domain name, structuring the data into a clean, readable format.
- Convert to File: Takes the processed availability data for all domains and converts it into a file (e.g., CSV), which can then be downloaded or further processed.
- Sticky Note: Provides a descriptive note within the workflow for clarity and documentation.
Prerequisites/Requirements
- n8n Instance: A running n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud).
- Domain Availability API Key: An API key for a domain registrar or domain availability service (e.g., NameSilo, GoDaddy, etc.). You will need to configure the "HTTP Request" node with the correct API endpoint and your API key.
- List of Domains: A list of domain names you wish to check, which will be input into the "Edit Fields (Set)" node.
Setup/Usage
- Import the Workflow: Download the provided JSON and import it into your n8n instance.
- Configure Credentials:
- Open the "HTTP Request" node.
- Update the "URL" field to point to your chosen domain availability API endpoint.
- Add any necessary authentication (e.g., API key in headers or query parameters) as required by your domain availability service.
- Ensure the request body or query parameters correctly send the domain name for checking.
- Define Domains:
- Open the "Edit Fields (Set)" node.
- In the "Values to Set" section, modify the JSON to include the list of domain names you want to check. For example:
[ { "domain": "example.com" }, { "domain": "mynewsite.net" }, { "domain": "anotherdomain.org" } ]
- Adjust Wait Time (Optional but Recommended):
- Open the "Wait" node.
- Adjust the "Wait Time" (e.g., 1 second) to comply with the rate limits of your domain availability API.
- Review Code Node:
- Open the "Code" node.
- Review the JavaScript code to ensure it correctly parses the response from your chosen domain availability API and extracts the availability status. You might need to adjust the parsing logic (
item.json.response.status,item.json.domain) based on the actual API response structure.
- Execute Workflow: Click the "Execute workflow" button in the "Manual Trigger" node to run the workflow.
- View Results: After execution, the "Convert to File" node will output a file containing the availability status for all checked domains. You can download this file directly from the node's output.
