# Domain Name Generator (`datavault/domain-name-generator`) Actor

Domain Name Generator is a fast, flexible actor for generating domain name ideas. It combines themed keywords, abstract concepts, and linguistic patterns to produce  names, with support for custom prefixes, suffixes, length limits, and TLDs-optimized for speed and large-scale idea generation.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Domain Name Generator

A high-performance domain name generator for Apify. This actor generates creative domain names by combining words from various themes, concepts, and linguistic patterns.

> **Note:** This actor only generates name ideas. It does **not** check for domain name availability or registration status.

### Features

- **Thematic Generation**: Choose from dozens of themes like AI, Finance, Food, and more.
- **Concept-Based**: Combine abstract concepts like Innovation, Growth, or Mysticism.
- **Linguistic Patterns**: Utilize common prefixes, suffixes, and linguistic structures.
- **Customizable**: Add your own mandatory prefixes or suffixes to all results.
- **Fast & Lightweight**: Built for maximum speed and minimal resource usage.

### Input Parameters

- `count`: (Integer) Number of domain names to generate.
- `categories`: (Array) List of categories to pull words from (e.g., `Themes:Artificial Intelligence`).
- `prefix`: (String) Optional prefix to add to all generated names.
- `suffix`: (String) Optional suffix to add to all generated names.
- `tld`: (String) The top-level domain (e.g., `com`, `io`, `ai`).
- `minLength`: (Integer) Minimum length of the name.
- `maxLength`: (Integer) Maximum length of the name.
- `combinationMode`: (String) `random` or `ordered`.

### Output

The actor outputs a dataset where each item represents a generated domain:

- `name`: The generated domain name (without TLD).
- `tld`: The top-level domain used.
- `fullName`: The complete domain name (e.g., `example.com`).
- `components`: The individual words used to build the name.

#### Sample Input

```json
{
    "count": 10,
    "categories": [
        "Themes:Artificial Intelligence",
        "Concepts:Innovation"
    ],
    "prefix": "go",
    "tld": "ai"
}
```

# Actor input Schema

## `count` (type: `integer`):

Optional prefix for all domains.

## `suffix` (type: `string`):

Optional suffix for all domains.

## `tld` (type: `string`):

The top-level domain extension.

## `minLength` (type: `integer`):

Minimum length of the domain name (excluding TLD).

## `maxLength` (type: `integer`):

Maximum length of the domain name (excluding TLD).

## `combinationMode` (type: `string`):

How to combine the words.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("datavault/domain-name-generator").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("datavault/domain-name-generator").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call datavault/domain-name-generator --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,datavault/domain-name-generator"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
