# NetIntel Domain Vet

> NetIntel Domain Vet is a paid API for AI agents from netintel.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.2/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Accepts candidate domain names and returns a ranked recommendation with availability across TLDs, name quality scores, typosquat exposure, and brand-collision analysis.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 netintel-domain-vet-3109fef8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I'm choosing between 'luminary.io', 'getluminary.com', and 'luminary.ai' for my AI productivity startup — can you vet all three, check their availability across .com, .io, and .ai, flag any typosquat or brand collision risks, and tell me which one I should register?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single call to collapse the entire brand/domain selection funnel — availability check, name quality scoring, typosquat risk, and brand collision vetting all at once. Prefer it over a plain WHOIS or registrar availability check when you have multiple candidates and need a ranked recommendation rather than a binary available/taken answer. Ideal for agent workflows that need to pick a startup or product name without chaining multiple specialized tools.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing candidates array returns a validation error
- Invalid TLD strings may be ignored or return partial results
- Brand-collision data may be marked signals_unavailable if external sources are unreachable
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) returns 402 with payment details
- Very large candidate lists may time out or increase latency significantly

## How this service works

Vet and pick a domain in one call — give candidate names, get back a ranked verdict on which to use and whether it's safe to build on: availability across TLDs, name quality, typosquat exposure, and a factual brand-collision check against similar existing names. Collapses the pick-a-brand-name funnel into one call. Search terms: vet a domain, pick a brand name, check domain before building, choose startup name.

## Output

Returns a recommended domain from the candidates, an overall grade and numeric score, per-candidate findings objects with availability across requested TLDs, typosquat exposure details, brand-collision signals, any unavailable signals, warning flags, a unique run_id, and total duration_ms.
