API

One authenticated request checks a name across domains and handles. Built for naming agencies, brand monitors, and anyone vetting candidates in bulk.

Authentication

Create a key on your account page and send it as a Bearer token (or an x-api-key header):

curl https://account.name/api/v1/check?q=lumenkit \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer an_your_key_here"

Endpoint

GET /api/v1/check

`q`	required	The name to check. Normalised to a single label (letters, numbers, hyphens).
`platforms`	optional	Comma list of `domains`, `handles`, and/or specific handle keys (e.g. `github,npm`). Defaults to everything.

Example response

{
  "ok": true,
  "name": "lumenkit",
  "usage": { "used": 14, "limit": 100, "remaining": 86 },
  "domains": [
    { "domain": "lumenkit.com", "tld": "com", "status": "taken", "action": { "kind": "backorder", "url": "…" } },
    { "domain": "lumenkit.io",  "tld": "io",  "status": "available", "action": { "kind": "register", "url": "…" } }
  ],
  "handles": [
    { "platform": "github", "label": "GitHub", "category": "dev", "status": "available", "url": "…", "checked": true, "bestEffort": false }
  ]
}

status is one of available, taken, or unknown ("couldn't verify", which best-effort platforms can return from a datacenter IP; never guessed).
