Frequently Asked Questions
See our FAQ for more answers.
Can I download sample datasets for the .de zone?
Yes. Download a sample .de domain list or a sample .de dataset.
What is a basic domain list, and how does it differ from a detailed dataset?
Both cover the same 10,309,361 registered domain names in the .de zone. A basic list is one domain name per line in a gzip CSV. A detailed dataset adds DNS servers, server IP, hostname, emails, phone numbers, and more. See the dataset format details.
How often are .de datasets updated?
The .de zone is a country-code (ccTLD) zone, and its registry zone file is not directly accessible. NetAPI discovers .de domains through large-scale crawls: newly discovered domains are added to the list daily, and the full dataset is rebuilt every one to two months. See how updates work.
Can I download only newly registered .de domains?
Not for this zone. Newly discovered .de domains are merged into the active list daily, but there is no separate new-domains file for .de. Daily new-domains lists exist for the zones marked as updated daily in the datasets catalog.
What format and size is the file?
Every .de domain list and dataset is a CSV file compressed with gzip (.csv.gz):
the basic list has one domain name per line, the detailed dataset has one row per domain with the columns described in the
dataset format details.
Compressed, the current .de basic list is about 61 MB and the detailed dataset about 150 MB.
Any archiver opens gzip files, for example the free
7-Zip on Windows,
and the API can also serve the files uncompressed (format=plain).
How do I automate daily downloads?
Schedule automatic downloads through the API. See the API documentation for authentication and endpoints.
Are emails and phone numbers available for every domain?
No. We collect contact details from public websites when available. Many domains have no published email or phone, and we do not guarantee these fields on every row. Do not use the data for unsolicited bulk outreach.
Additional .DE Zone / Registry Information
In the 1990s, when the internet gained popularity, the number of registrations for commercial purposes increased. Since the administration passed in 1997 to DENIC, the cooperative of German registrars in Frankfurt, the zone has grown rapidly.
Today .de is one of the largest ccTLDs in the world and a vital part of Germany's online presence, preferred by individuals, educational institutions, businesses and government agencies. Registration is open worldwide; registrants outside Germany must name a German address for service.

Based on this dataset and daily threat-intelligence signals. Domains may be listed after observed phishing, malware, spam, botnet, or similar activity; inclusion does not imply malicious intent by the owner, registrar, registry, or host. Updated daily; figures may change as new data arrives.
