Interactive intelligence tool

Run the check, then ship the workflow

Use the browser tool for a fast answer, then move the same logic into scripts, monitoring, or product flows when it becomes repeatable.

1
Start with the live form

Enter a domain, URL, IP, email, or record and get a focused result without setup.

2
Review decision-ready signals

Outputs highlight statuses, risks, records, and next actions instead of raw provider noise.

3
Automate the workflow that works

Use the request and response examples to turn a one-off check into an API call or recipe.

What this tool helps you decide

Each page is shaped around a practical operational question, not just a raw lookup.

Signal

See the current DNS, registration, security, pricing, or reputation evidence.

Context

Compare the result with related checks so the next move is easier to trust.

Action

Copy examples, open linked tools, or move into API documentation when you need scale.

Trust signals before you integrate

Transparent docs, authenticated requests, and visible reliability details make it easier to evaluate DomScan before you ship.

Service status API artifacts

OpenAPI, Swagger, Postman, CLI, SDK, and MCP links are one click away.

API keys Protected access

Authenticated endpoints use API keys with clear credit costs before you call them.

Free allowance Sign up for free

Start with 10,000 monthly credits and upgrade only when usage grows.

Active Example request

Start from the curl and HTTP samples, then map the parameters into your application code.

Key Features

Link inventory

Every link with anchor text, internal or external type and nofollow, ugc or sponsored flags.

Status checks

Targets are checked and reported as ok, redirected, broken or unknown with the final URL.

Evidence only

Only an exact 404, 410 or a host that does not exist is broken. Blocked checks stay unknown.

Example request

GET /v1/links?url=example.com&check=true http
GET /v1/links?url=example.com&check=true
GET /v1/links?url=example.com&type=external http
GET /v1/links?url=example.com&type=external

Built on the same API

The browser experience previews DomScan's structured endpoints, so teams can validate a use case before writing code.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a link marked unknown?

The target blocked the check, rate limited it, timed out or answered with a server error, so there is no exact evidence that the link is broken.

Are redirects a problem?

A redirect still works, but linking straight to the final URL saves a request and keeps link signals clean.

How many links are checked?

Up to 25 unique targets per request. The response says how many unique targets were not checked.
