Businesses and startups use this Domain Age API to check if a domain name was registered say less than 30 days or or less than 1 year ago, useful to check if the domain is new and not-yet-known.

Same as for all our other APIs, also with this one we do not decrease credits in case of errors.

$domain = 'google.com';
$apiUrl = 'https://api.apivoid.com/v2/domain-age';
$apiKey = 'your_api_key_here';
$ch = curl_init($apiUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: application/json', 'X-API-Key: ' . $apiKey]);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode(['host' => $domain]));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($ch);
if ($httpCode === 200) {
$responseData = json_decode($response, true);
print_r($responseData);
// Block domain if it was created less than 1 month ago
if (($responseData['domain_age_found'] ?? false) && (($responseData['domain_age_in_days'] ?? 0) <= 30)) {
echo "Domains created less than 1 month ago are banned.";
exit;
}
// Block domain if it was created less than 3 months ago
if (($responseData['domain_age_found'] ?? false) && (($responseData['domain_age_in_months'] ?? 0) <= 3)) {
echo "Domains created less than 3 months ago are banned.";
exit;
}
// Block domain if it was created less than 1 year ago
if (($responseData['domain_age_found'] ?? false) && (($responseData['domain_age_in_years'] ?? 0) === 0)) {
echo "Domains created less than 1 year ago are banned.";
