it's actually possible to download a list of all domains in .com TLD. Google for how to download domains from ICANN. I think it takes like a day to your request approved.
Thanks!
Great idea. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on launching it! As someone unfortunately prone to coming up with grand plans to build things, I could get a lot of use out of this. I have a handful of domains currently collecting dust, but hope to actually follow through on my plans at some point :) Far more time than I'd care to admit was spent on finding them, so something like this would have been a great time saver.…
Thank you! I will definitely add these to a list of new features and get them shipped. Btw, I just switched the API, so .com checking should be available again. Unlike the old API, this one will mark something as "available" whether it's actually not-taken, or if it costs $9,000 to buy. Not ideal, as I think a lot of us would prefer actually cheap domains, but it's a midway solution to make it work right away.
On a related note the whole business of domain squatting is bullshit and needs a better resolution system.
For anyone who is interested, after about [edited] 40k requests, this has cost me $10 in OpenAI charges and another estimated ~$100 in domain verification.
Another option might be to download the entire .com registry database from ICANN and query it live. I say “might” because I am not sure if your use case would be permitted under their TOS.
Also, I have another project for which I store a huge amount of data, and as it turns out, data costs a lot of money to store! Depends on the size of the list, I might be better off paying for the Domainr API.
Cool idea, but it shows unavailable domains as green.
Indeed I got "TeachPlus.com" in green, but it's taken.
Switching is also very easy as text generator is OpenAI compatible/one line change of the base url/API key
"My company will hold village meetings to boast of our skills and curse the devil-spawned end-users. Sometimes we juggle. At the last minute we slam out some code and go roller skating."
An example result was MeetingCurse.com. I feel that it should have recommended SometimesJuggle.com, BoastSkating.com, and CodeSkating.com (all of which are available).

Yup, someone's suggested that. I might do it going forward, if it's allowed, but for the first day I tried to prioritize getting it out there.

367000000 * 253 bytes = 92.8GB
In reality it would be smaller than that as the average length will be much shorted. I expect 10-20GB
You could get clever and use a bloom filter to save space, falling back to the api.
