# Name Availability Check

> Name Availability Check is a paid API for AI agents from agentbodega.store, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Checks whether a name is available across supported domain extensions and GitHub handles, returning high-confidence availability results with supporting evidence and warnings for inconclusive checks.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability name-availability-check-c4f21978 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if 'morningbloom' is available as a .com, .io, and .store domain, and also as a GitHub handle?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, multi-target availability check across both domain names and GitHub handles in a single call, especially when you want confidence scores and evidence rather than a simple yes/no. Prefer this over manual WHOIS lookups or separate domain registrar searches when building automated naming workflows or brand research tools.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported domain extension returns an error or is skipped
- Name contains invalid characters causing a validation error
- External domain registry or GitHub API unavailable leading to inconclusive results with warnings
- Rate limiting or payment failure resulting in a rejected request
- Very recently registered or pending domains may return stale availability data

## How this service works

Check one launch-name slug against selected public domain TLDs and GitHub handles, returning available, taken, invalid, or unknown with evidence and confidence instead of guessing.

## Output

Returns availability status for each checked domain extension and GitHub handle, along with a confidence level for each result, supporting evidence, and any warnings when the check was inconclusive or ambiguous.
