October 8, 2026: The Domains API now has a dedicated Domain Valuation API and guide

You can now get a machine-learned GoValue estimate for a domain through a new Domain Valuation API. Each estimate includes a suggested Afternic list price, a wholesale value, a price range, and yearly sales probabilities.

What changed

A new endpoint is available:

• GET /v1/domains/govalues: returns a GoValue valuation for a domain passed in the domainName query parameter.

The valuation uses a static model, so a domain's GoValue doesn't change between requests and the response can be cached. The response returns all monetary values in USD. Domain valuation is a separate concept from registration pricing. It estimates resale value, not what you'd pay to register or renew the domain.

Access requires an active GoValue subscription on the account behind your credentials, in addition to the domains.domain:read scope. Calling without a subscription, or for an unsupported TLD, returns 404 VALUATION_NOT_FOUND or 422 UNSUPPORTED_TLD.

Who is affected

Developers who want to price domains before listing them, inform buy or sell decisions, or show GoValue estimates in their own product. This is a new, separate capability. No existing Domains endpoint is affected, and using it requires subscribing to GoValue.
