Domain lookup
Ask a name. We hit the TLD WHOIS host, follow the registrar when the record is thin, and return a typed object.
Dompedia
Is the name free — domain, handle, mark?

Open catalog
Drops, available names, reserved lists — browse all of it. Orbit only unlocks the filters.
Structured objects
Registrar, contacts, events, nameservers, DNSSEC — fields you can store, not a paste dump.
Polite egress
Direct to the registry first. Backup proxies only when a host is under pressure. Daily drop scans stay slow on purpose.
Drop catch
The inventory is open. Filters are Orbit.
4-letter, 3-character, short names — the lists are public. Orbit is $19/mo for pattern, prefix, and TLD filters so you can work the same data faster. Register on Dynadot.
Egress
The rate limit lands on our name, not yours.
Lookups go out through named regions. Drop scans tick through the catalog with seconds between each name so registries stay quiet.
