What do you think as an important tool that is unavailable out there in the market, for your domaining needs, but you wish you had it?

Personally, for me, geo Godaddy tool, which would fetch a name of all the geo domain names available, after you've entered a particular keyword would show up.

That was one of the coolest tool I used so far, which helped me with my domaining needs, saving hours of effort.

What tools you wish you had(anything even if it was never made), that would have helped you in your domaining needs?

GoDaddy API access.

They allow people to use this API to essentially flash-purchase domains as they enter closeout. Some people are even selling their API access as a 'service' to snipe domains.

However, GoDaddy will not allow people to have this access as they 'discontinued' giving out access. Except, people that already have access use it to beat out people.

It's extremely unfair and I've never seen a company allow such an overwhelming advantage to people without allowing everyone to have the same access.

Hi

already have all the tools I need, inside my brain.

to me,
the more you think you need a tool, the more it's going to cost you to use it.

still, as is, there are more than enough free resources currently available

it just seems so many are becoming dependent and are looking for spoon fed "ready made, pre-categorized data" that gets served up on a plate for them to chew on.

just saying
you was born with it, so may as well use that thing sitting on top of your neck

:)

imo...

# FREE & COMPLETE analysis of a domain in a single click

At Epik's marketplace, you can search for domains that are for sale with a payment plan. This is not possible at DAN. I would like a tool for this, since it seems DAN isn't going to include this in their search options.

Maybe Dofo could create a tool for all domains for sale with payment plans across all marketplaces.

AFAIK they have only temporarily stopped giving out new access while they redo their API. I asked [email protected] and this was their response:

Thanks for your feedback but this is not true nor is it accurate, because they lie and most reps don't even know what the auctions API is so they have to ask a senior member that passes on the lies to the newbie rep. I've had this conversation with them a few times...

They stopped giving access years ago, on or around June 2017.

So three years is not "temporarily".

They have been working on this "new and improved" API for three years.

They will also miss their Q2 target, and they will blame it on whatever they can to allow legacy accounts to keep profiting from the GD auctions API.

It's crooked in my opinion.

Serious tools guys! Like something that may help you with the research or maybe generate leads or something.
No wishful thinking pls. Something that you wish would increase your chances of something or save time or increase convenience or reduce cost.

An integration with Dan and ExpiredDomains.net.

I think there are great domains available at Dan but search filters could be better! :)

Care to comment @Joe Styler?

Joe has already talked about this all over the forum at length. IMO he's gone above and beyond trying to rectify this abysmal decision by whoever is at the top of the chain.

He is an incredible member of the GD team, but this just seems to be the policy.

I've just never seen a platform anywhere only allow certain people access to something that gives such a significant advantage.

Which it does... It's not the entire solution, but it's part of a solution that allows people to snipe the most valuable closeout domains.

Otherwise, your just going to have to fight it out with HD at auction.

EDIT:
There is a lot that GoDaddy as a company does on their backend that is questionable. Did you know that GoDaddy uses a cookie to track every auction that you have viewed in your session?

There is so many shady things that a platform could do with that information.

Imagine you are a top auction bidder, and they can see that you are looking at 4-5 "high value" auctions. You can imagine where this goes from there...

And its gone! YAY!

Ask and ye shall find...

that automatically publishes our domains for sale to all domain marketplaces of our choice in a single click

That would be nice. Could be done for sedo, they have an api. The closest for Afternic is a tool to generate a csv file you would still have to manually upload, or perhaps one could find a way to script logging into AN and uploading the file....hmmm

I believe DAN also can be done in bulk with a csv upload too. No idea about other marketplaces.

I've just checked my past email correspondence.

Here is the response I received on Feb 28, 2017:

"Our development staff is in the middle of a complete rebuild of the auction interface. Unfortunately, as part of the rebuild, we are not able to accept new API customers at this time. We hope to have the rebuild completed by the end of the summer. Please check back from time to time to see if you are eligible at that time."

On Sep 14, 2017, I asked "Has anything changed in terms of API access?":

"Thank you for contacting AfterMarket Support. Not as yet.
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.
"

They all cost money.
Good point Samer. People, do a cost benefit analysis. If it's a monthly charge, determine how much time it will save that you can put into other aspects of your business that will then help to increase revenue. You either have time or you have money. If you need something free than use that brain @biggie was referring to and combine a few free tools.

I hate it too, Stu. But I didn’t see much help in arguing with a clueless support team member.

Yeah! I know it would have been futile :( But that's just the way I am wired. Maybe if I'd anticipated their reply, I would have added. And if you are not qualified to answer please pass this request onto someone who can answer, intelligently :)
