Find all domains under a TLD

Tags:

I'm trying to find a way to list all registered domains under a top-level domain (TLD). I.e. everything under .com, .net, etc. All the tools I find only applies to finding subdomains under a domain.

How do you find the domain of a TLD?

In simpler terms, a TLD is everything that follows the final dot of a domain name. For example, in the domain name 'google.com', '.com' is the TLD. Some other popular TLDs include '. org', '.

How many domains are registered by TLD?

There are 1,589 registered top-level domain (TLD) domains or Generic top-level domains (gTLD).

Does domain include TLD?

Top-level domain (TLD) refers to the last segment of a domain name, or the part that follows immediately after the "dot" symbol. For example, in the internet address: https://www.google.com, the “.com” portion is the TLD.

The information you seek isn't openly available. However, there are a few options you can try:

You might want to try inquiring at the respective registries directly about getting access to the Zone files. However, the process can take weeks and some registries choose not to offer access at all. For newer GTLDs you can apply at ICANN's Centralized Zone Data Service. You might need to provide a good reason to access the full lists. The Zone file can only be pulled once a day, though, so for more up to date information the only option is a paid service.

Whois API offers the entire whois database download in major GTLDs (.com, .net, .org, .us, .biz, .mobi, etc). It also provides archived historic whois database in both parsed and raw format for download as CSV files, as well as a daily download of newly registered domains.

A similar, popular question exists already but the answers and links are a bit outdated.
