Is it possible to add a column with the Page Rank or Domain Authority of the particular domain?

You know I briefly looked in to it because I'm not dumb I understand it'd make this unstoppable, but there's very few options with very high prices. You never know with what the future holds but yeah, not cheap. Definitely doable though. The good thing about 'our' filtering is that it would take down the number of daily requests to their API, but still...a. lot. I wouldn't say it's out of the question even remotely,…

PR matters less these days but if you're going that route then maybe also pull Alexa, Ahrefs and Moz and the like (I've got a complete list somewhere)

If anyone's wondering why the results started looking a tad more strange (and higher rate of unavailable domains on the list), it's because todays list was just processed over the course of the past. ~20min. Have some jobs spread out a little to be nice to the server and inconsistencies.

For the next who knows maybe hour or so, from this minute actually, you'll probably notice a few more than average domains one the list are already taken. Don't worry i've got my best robot people on it

Useful service, congrats on the launch. Do 4 character domains basically never drop or why is the minimum length 5?

There's at least one 4-character domain in the results (easier to find when you set max to 4), `xuci.org`. So they do drop.

If you squint your...ears it almost sounds like "sushi.org". Not bad.

a) Really awesomely cool! b) Kinda sad to read all those names and think that someone once thought, 'hey, this could be my baby.' Sure, I imagine a bunch of them were just hoovered up by domain squatters, but at least a few of them are failed sites, right? … right?

Yeah a lot of them are very clearly failed projects and businesses and it’s fascinating reading through them.

Awesome. I just registered (majorsportsapparelmaker)golf.com And yes, they make golf shoes and apparel. So that's fun.

You can’t use it for anything and the only value is in hoping they randomly decide to contact you and ask to buy it (you can’t approach them because that is extortion of trademarked property) rather than going through the courts.
