ResponseTop

Returns a hash map containing domain name availability status for the requested TLDs:

Available - domain name available for registration

Regthroughus - domain name currently registered through the Registrar whose connection is being used to check the availability of the domain name


Regthroughothers - domain name currently registered through a Registrar other than the one whose connection is being used to check the availability of the domain name. If you wish to manage such a domain name through your Reseller / Registrar Account, you may pass a Domain Transfer API call. 1


Unknown - returned, if for some reason, the Registry connections are not available. You should ideally re-check the domain name availability after some time.
