```
{
  "results": [
    { "domain": "coolapp.dev", "available": true, "note": "Not found in WHOIS database - likely available" },
    {
      "domain": "coolapp.io",
      "available": false,
      "registrar": "Cloudflare, Inc.",
      "expiration": "2026-03-15",

    }

}
```

### [type: traffic](#type-traffic)

  "domainRank": 62
}
```

## [competitors](#competitors)

Competitor tracking and auto-discovery. Use `type` to view tracked competitors or discover new ones.

For complete competitor research:

1. `domain_info({ type: 'traffic' })` - get traffic overview
2. `keyword_research({ type: 'rankings' })` - see specific keywords they rank for
3. `competitors({ type: 'discover' })` - auto-find competitors from your rankings
4. `competitors({ type: 'get' })` - view keyword gaps and quick wins

## [Data Freshness](#data-freshness)

| Tool | Cache Duration | Data Source |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `domain_info` (availability) | 1 hour | DataForSEO WHOIS database |
| `domain_info` (traffic) | 24 hours | DataForSEO keyword ranking database |
| `competitors` | Real-time | Pro database |

## [Limitations](#limitations)

- **Domain availability**: DataForSEO tracks 260M+ domains but may miss new registrations. Domains not found are reported as likely available.
- **Traffic estimates**: US organic search traffic only. Does not include paid, social, direct, or referral traffic. Estimates based on keyword rankings and CTR models.
- **Competitor discovery**: Requires sufficient ranking data. New sites with few rankings may not find competitors.
