Internet Names FAQs

Question 1

What is Internet Names?

Accepted Answer

Internet Names is a software tool designed to quickly check the availability of domain names, social media handles (like Instagram, Twitter, TikTok), and subreddit names across multiple platforms and registrars. It provides clean JSON responses for programmatic use.

Question 2

Which social media platforms does Internet Names support?

Accepted Answer

It verifies handle availability on Instagram, Twitter (X), Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, and Threads. Additionally, it checks for available subreddit names on Reddit.

Question 3

How does Internet Names provide domain name pricing?

Accepted Answer

For accurate domain pricing, it integrates with the NameSilo API (requires a free API key). If no NameSilo key is configured, it defaults to RDAP, which only reports availability and has TLD coverage limitations.

Absolutely. Internet Names is built to return clean JSON responses for all availability checks, making it perfectly suited for developers to integrate into applications, scripts, or automated workflows.

Question 5

Can I check multiple name combinations or TLDs simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the powerful `check_everything` feature allows you to input name components, generate various combinations (e.g., 'redsweater', 'red-sweater'), and check their availability across multiple TLDs, social platforms, and subreddits in a single comprehensive request.
