Domain Checks from your terminal
Install `findadomain` to check a Registrable Domain, print its Availability Status, and keep naming workflows inside your terminal.
Check a Registrable Domain
Prints only the Availability Status by default.
findadomain check example.comReturn JSON for scripts
Use structured data in shell scripts and automated workflows.
findadomain check --format json example.comAsk for WHOIS fallback
Request another signal when a Domain Check needs it.
findadomain check --whois example.comBuilt for command-line naming work
Browser checks get repetitive. The CLI keeps each Domain Check small, direct, and easy to compose with other tools.
Terminal-first Domain Checks
Run one command, get one Availability Status, and skip registrar tabs.
Script-friendly JSON
Switch formats when another tool needs name, TLD, status, and cache fields.
WHOIS fallback when needed
Opt into WHOIS checking for workflows that need another availability signal.
macOS and Linux releases
Release builds target amd64 and arm64 across macOS and Linux.
Predictable Availability Status
Text format prints only the status. JSON format mirrors the API object when scripts need structured data.
