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

Test a draft before publishing

Paste a robots.txt and see how it treats your URLs without changing anything on your site.

Many URLs, many crawlers

Up to 100 URLs and 10 user agents in one check, with a verdict for every combination.

The rule that decides

Each verdict shows the matching Allow or Disallow rule and its line number, following the official robots.txt standard.

Example request

POST /v1/robots/test json
{"url":"example.com","urls":["/blog/","/admin/"],"user_agents":["Googlebot","GPTBot"]}

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

Can I test a robots.txt before it goes live?

Yes. Paste the content in the robots.txt box and nothing is fetched from your site. Leave it empty to test the file that is live now.

Can I paste a full user agent string?

Yes. A full string such as the one Googlebot sends is reduced to its crawler name, which is what robots.txt rules match.

What does unknown mean?

The live robots.txt could not be read, for example because the site blocked the request or timed out. Unknown is never treated as allowed, and the check is refunded.
