# Domain Search

```plaintext
DGET /explore/domain/search
```

Search for domains that match specific criteria, including optional name servers, WHOIS, network, and domain name patterns.

| **Query Parameters** | - **domain = (string) (optional) –** - name or wildcard pattern of domain names to search for - **domain_regex = (pattern) (optional) –** - re2 regular expression - overrides domain parameter - pattern must be a valid re2 regular expression - **nsname = (string) (optional) –** - name server name or wildcard pattern of name server used by domains - use nsname=self to find domains hosting their own nameservers - **mxname = (string) (optional) –** - mx server name or wildcard pattern of mx server used by domains - use mxname=self to find domains hosting their own mailservers - **first_seen_min = (string) (optional) –** - only domains that have A records seen for the first time after the given date - **first_seen_max = (string) (optional) –** - only domains that have A records seen for the first time before the given date - **first_seen_min_mode = (string) (optional) –** - match mode for first_seen_min parameter - strict (default) - select A records that do not have any timestamps before first_seen_min - any - select A records that have at least one timestamp after first_seen_min - **first_seen_max_mode = (string) (optional) –** - match mode for first_seen_max parameter - strict (default) - select A records that do not have any timestamps after first_seen_max - any - select A records that have at least one timestamp before first_seen_max - l**ast_seen_min = (string) (optional) –** - only domains that have A records last seen more recently than the given date - **last_seen_max = (string) (optional) –** - only domains that have A records last seen earlier than the given date - **last_seen_min_mode = (string) (optional) –** - match mode for last_seen_min parameter - strict - select A records that do not have any timestamps before last_seen_min - any (default) - select A records that have at least one timestamp after first_seen_min - **last_seen_max_mode = (string) (optional) –** - match mode for last_seen_max parameter - strict (default) - select A records that do not have any timestamps after last_seen_max - any - select A records that have at least one timestamp before last_seen_max - **asnum = (int) (optional) –** - AS number to search, may be repeated multiple time for additional AS numbers - **asn = (int) (optional) –** - search for IP addresses in or not in the given AS numbers - default = in - **asname = (string) (optional) –** - search all AS numbers where the AS Name begins with - **asname_starts_with = (string) (optional) –** - search all AS numbers where the AS Name begins with - **asname_contains = (string) (optional) –** - search all AS numbers where the AS Name contains - **asn_match = (string) (optional) –** - how to match AS numbers - any (default) - match on any asnum given or derived from asname - all - asn diversity timeline must contain all asnums given as asnum parameter or derived from asname - limit - apply min and/or max limits as specified by optional asn_match_min and asn_match_max parameters - **asn_match_max = (int) (optional) –** - maximum of the asnums given as asnum or derived from asname must appear in asn diversity timeline - **asn_match_min = (int) (optional) –** - minimum of the asnums given as asnum or derived from asname must appear in asn diversity timeline - **network = (string) (optional) –** - additional network and net mask - give option as 1.1.1.1/24 - network parameter may be given multiple times and the search will be performed as an ‘or’ condition - **timeline =<0\|1> (int) (optional) –** - include details of IPs, ASNs, first_seen and last_seen for each domain - 0 (default) = do not include - 1 = include timeline - **first_seen_after = (string) (optional) –** - only domains that have been seen using the NS server in the “nsname=” parameter for the first time after the given date - **first_seen_before = (string) (optional) –** - only domains that have been seen using the NS server in the “nsname=” parameter for the first time before the given date - **registrar = (string) (optional) –** - name or partial name of registrar used to register domains - no wildcards, the given string is used in partial match - this is a slow search option and should only be used in combination with the domain match option - **email = (string) (optional) –** - email used to register domains - no wildcards, the given string is used in exact match - this is a slow search option and should only be used in combination with the domain match option - **whois_date_after = (string) (optional) –** - only domains that have a created date in Whois after this date – this limits the search to domains for which we have Whois data and makes the search perform slowly – all of the whois specific options should be avoided if at all possible - **nschange_from_ns = (string) (optional) –** - domain has changed name server from nsname - exact match, wildcards and ‘self’ options supported - **nschange_to_ns = (string) (optional) –** - domain has changed name server to nsname - exact match, wildcards and ‘self’ options supported - **nschange_date_after = (string) (optional) –** - only domains with name server changes that occurred after the given date - if nschange_date_after is not given, the default is to find name server changes in the last 30 days, if nschange_date_before is not given - **nschange_date_before = (string) (optional) –** - only domains with name server changes that occurred before the given date - **cert_date_min = (string) (optional) –** - only domains that have had ssl certificates issued on or after the given date - **cert_date_max = (string) (optional) –** - only domains that have had ssl certificates issued on or before the given date - **cert_issuer = (string) (optional) –** - only domains that have had ssl certificates issued using the named certificate issuer - wildcards (*) are supported - spaces in name may be represented by ‘+’ - **infratag = (string) (optional) –** - search by infratag - infratag must include mx part, ns part, asname part, or registrar part - overrides mxname, nsname and registrar parameters, if infratag contains these parts - can be combined with all other parameters - **asn_diversity = (int) (optional) –** - asn diversity - exact match - **asn_diversity_min = (int) (optional) –** - minimum diversity limit - **asn_diversity_max = (int) (optional) –** - maximum diversity limit - **ip_diversity_all = (int) (optional) –** - ip diversity all - exact match - **ip_diversity_all_min = (int) (optional) –** - minimum diversity limit - default = 1 - **ip_diversity_all_max = (int) (optional) –** - maximum diversity limit - **ip_diversity_groups = (int) (optional) –** - ip diversity groups - exact match - **ip_diversity_groups_min = (int) (optional) –** - minimum diversity limit - **ip_diversity_groups_max = (int) (optional) –** - maximum diversity limit - **limit = (int) (optional) –** - number of results to return - default = 100 - **skip = (int) (optional) –** - number of results to skip - **prefer = (string) (optional) –** - result (default) - return results if available before max_wait timeout, otherwise return job_id - job_id - return job_id immediately - **max_wait = (int) (optional) –** - number of seconds to wait for results before returning job_id - default = 25 - value in the range from 0 to 25 - **with_metadata =<0\|1> (int) (optional) –** - include metadata object in response : returned results, total results, job_id - 0 (default) = do not include - 1 = include metadata |
