Add Name.ai premium domain inventory to your registrar or marketplace. Use the Name.ai Domain Syndication API to search premium inventory, check availability, retrieve pricing, launch checkout, open brokerage cases, receive signed webhooks, and reconcile settlements.
Domain inventory syndication lets registrars, marketplaces, and domain apps offer premium aftermarket names without sourcing or holding the inventory themselves. Name.ai provides real-time search and pricing, two checkout models, brokerage support, referral tracking, settlement and webhooks through one signed API.
The choice is about who takes the payment and therefore who carries the payment relationship. Both models deliver the domain the same way.
MoR model
Keep your own customer checkout and charge the buyer yourself. Notify us of the sale with POST /v1/orders. We transfer the domain; you remit our share at settlement (net 45 days).
Scopes required
Non-MoR model
Generate a hosted checkout session with POST /v1/checkout-session and redirect your buyer — they pay on our lander. Your commission is credited at settlement.
Scopes required
Syndicated inventory is served from Name.ai rather than copied into your catalogue, so pricing and availability stay current and a name that sells elsewhere stops being offered. Your credential's environment (sandbox or live) selects which inventory tier is returned, which is what lets you build against realistic data before launch.
Query Name.ai inventory in real time for semantic domain search, single-domain lookup, availability and buy-now pricing. This is the endpoint most integrations start from, because it determines what your customers see.
Real-time semantic domain search, single-domain lookup, availability check, and buy-now pricing.
Open Search & pricingNot every domain a customer wants is listed. Brokerage cases let you take demand for an unlisted name and hand it to the Name.ai broker team, opened programmatically and tracked to close, with commission on completed deals.
Help buyers acquire domains not yet listed on name.ai. Check eligibility, open a case, and earn commission on every closed deal.
Open BrokerageAttribution and money are separate systems and both are exposed. Referral links carry tracked click and conversion data; settlement produces per-period statements and a transaction history you can reconcile against your own ledger.
Create tracked referral links, pull click and conversion data, and view your commission ledger and payouts.
Open Referral & reportingPer-period statements, full transaction history, and payout schedule. Reconcile what you owe and what we owe you.
Open SettlementOrders, transfers, settlements and brokerage updates all change state after your request completes, so the integration is event-driven rather than polling. Subscribe once and receive signed events you can verify.
Subscribe once; we deliver signed events for orders, transfers, settlements, and brokerage updates.
Open Webhooks & eventsEvery request is signed with HMAC-SHA256, and the sandbox runs the full set of flows — search, both checkout models, orders and webhooks — without real money and without waiting for production approval.
Get credentials, sign your first request, and make your first search call in minutes.
Open Quick startTest your full integration — MoR orders, Non-MoR checkout, and webhooks — with no real money and no approval needed.
Open Sandbox testingHMAC-SHA256 request signing — required headers, canonical string, and code samples in Node.js, Python, and cURL.
Open AuthenticationEndpoint-level reference for the whole surface — method, path, required scope and description. Environment base URLs for production and sandbox are documented alongside the endpoints rather than here.

Syndication lets a registrar, marketplace or domain app offer premium aftermarket domains that Name.ai sources and holds. Inventory is served live through the API rather than copied into your catalogue, so pricing and availability stay current.
Every request is signed with HMAC-SHA256 using your credential. The authentication reference documents the required headers, the canonical string to sign, and code samples in Node.js, Python and cURL.
Yes. The sandbox runs the full set of flows — search, MoR orders, hosted checkout and webhooks — with no real money and without waiting for production approval.
Under Merchant of Record you charge the buyer on your own checkout and notify Name.ai of the sale, then remit our share at settlement. Under non-MoR you generate a hosted checkout session and Name.ai collects payment, crediting your commission at settlement.
Signed events for orders, transfers, settlements and brokerage case updates. Because state changes after your request completes, the integration is event-driven rather than polled.
Search plus buy for the Merchant of Record order flow, and search plus embed for hosted checkout. Scopes are attached to your credential and listed with each endpoint in the reference.
Build and verify against sandbox credentials first, then request live access. Your credential environment selects which inventory tier is returned, so the same integration code works against both.
The full API reference lists every endpoint — method, path, scope and description — along with production and sandbox base URLs, and is linked from this hub.
