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.

Key Features

Code validation

Language and region codes are checked, including en-UK and underscore mistakes.

Return links

Alternate pages are fetched to confirm they reference the audited page.

Header support

Annotations in the HTTP Link header are read as well as link tags in the HTML.

Example request

GET /v1/hreflang?url=example.com http
GET /v1/hreflang?url=example.com
GET /v1/hreflang?url=example.com/en/&max_alternates=20 http
GET /v1/hreflang?url=example.com/en/&max_alternates=20

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

Do I need an x-default entry?

It is recommended. x-default tells search engines which page to show when no language or region matches the visitor.

Should a page list itself in its hreflang tags?

Yes. Each page should include a self-referencing entry along with every alternate version.

How many alternates are checked?

Up to 10 by default and up to 20 through the API. Alternates that cannot be read are reported as unknown.
