Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Download a sample .edu domain list or a sample .edu dataset.
Both cover the same 231,681 registered domain names in the .edu 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.
The .edu zone is a generic (gTLD) zone, and its registry zone file is not directly accessible. NetAPI discovers .edu 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.
Not for this zone. Newly discovered .edu domains are merged into the active list daily, but there is no separate new-domains file for .edu. Daily new-domains lists exist for the zones marked as updated daily in the datasets catalog.
Every .edu 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 .edu basic list is about 1.2 MB and the detailed dataset about 4.0 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).

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.
Chart Y-axis is scaled to the data range to show day-to-day changes (not from zero).
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.
