Making requests

Overview

The Typosquatting API provides four endpoints for detecting and investigating typosquatting domains. All requests are made via HTTP GET.

1. Check domain

Find the typosquatting groups that a domain belongs to.

1 request costs 1 DRS credit.

GET https://typosquatting.whoisxmlapi.com/api/v1/checkDomain?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&domainName=amoreresidences.com

Input parameters

apiKey

Required. Get your personal API key on the My products page.
domainName

Required. The domain name to check for typosquatting group membership. Accepts any UTF-8 string.
outputFormat

Optional. Response output format.

Acceptable values: JSON | XML

Default: JSON

Sample output

[
    {
        "date": "2022-05-10",
        "groupNumber": 1,
        "totalNoOfGrpMembers": 13
    }
]

Output fields

date
The date when the typosquatting group was detected, in YYYY-MM-DD format.
groupNumber
The typosquatting group identifier for the given date.
totalNoOfGrpMembers
The total number of domains in this typosquatting group.

2. Check domain (enriched)

Get enriched data for all domains in all groups that the given domain belongs to. This is the most detailed single-domain query, returning full WHOIS and registration details for every group member.

1 request costs 5 DRS credits.

GET https://typosquatting.whoisxmlapi.com/api/v1/checkDomainEnriched?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&domainName=iwin.exposed

Input parameters

apiKey

Required. Get your personal API key on the My products page.
domainName

Required. The domain name to check. Accepts any UTF-8 string. The example domain iwin.exposed is useful for testing as it appears in multiple groups.
outputFormat

Optional. Response output format.

Acceptable values: JSON | XML

Default: JSON

Sample output

Returns a JSON array of enriched records. See the enriched output fields section below for full field descriptions.

3. Get group

Get all domains in a specific typosquatting group (basic fields).

1 request costs 5 DRS credits.

GET https://typosquatting.whoisxmlapi.com/api/v1/getGroup?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY&date=2022-05-10&groupNumber=1

apiKey

Required. Get your personal API key on the My products page.
date

Required. The detection date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Must be >= 2020-07-01.
