NetworksDB is best known for IP intelligence – IP-to-organisation, ASN and reverse DNS data – and also sells domain lists: one domain name per line, packaged by TLD group and bought as one-off downloads. NetAPI is a domain data service: complete lists for every TLD refreshed daily, enriched per-domain datasets, registrar and DNS-provider files, lookup tools and an API. This page compares the two on domain data, feature by feature.
Figures for NetworksDB are taken from its public website and may have changed since; NetAPI figures are live. If you spot an error, let us know and we will correct it.

Choose NetAPI when domain data is the job, not a side product: 460,900,044 domains across 1,584 zones, refreshed every day with a "new domains" filter for the last 24 hours, where NetworksDB sells periodic snapshots as plain name lists limited to domains that currently resolve to an IP address. Every NetAPI dataset row carries DNS servers, IP address, hostname, IP country, email addresses, phone numbers, Majestic rank, registrar and registration/expiration dates; NetworksDB lists contain the domain name only. NetAPI adds registrar-grouped WHOIS datasets, DNS-provider lists, domain and reverse IP lookup and a flat-rate API that downloads whole lists and datasets, and publishes free datasets – the Top 1M website ranking, the compromised domains and compromised IPs feeds and the abuse research reports – under CC BY 4.0. NetworksDB remains a strong source for IP, ASN and organisation data, which NetAPI does not cover. NetAPI is operated by a registered company with a published address, Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and was built by the author of zonefiles.io, the now-closed service that started the domain-list category.
Yes. NetAPI provides complete lists of registered domains for every TLD in the same one-domain-per-line format, refreshed daily instead of as periodic snapshots, plus enriched datasets, new-domain deltas, registrar and DNS-provider files, lookup tools and an API. For IP-to-organisation, ASN and reverse DNS data, NetworksDB is a different product that NetAPI does not replace.
Freshness and depth. NetworksDB sells plain domain lists as one-off downloads of a periodic snapshot, limited to domains that resolve to an IP address; NetAPI refreshes every list daily, includes domains whether or not they currently resolve, tells you what changed in the last 24 hours and attaches DNS, IP, contact, ranking and registrar fields to every domain.
NetAPI tracks 460,900,044 domains across 1,584 zones; NetworksDB states about 357.5 million domains. Part of the difference is scope: NetworksDB only includes domains with a resolving IP address, while NetAPI lists every registered domain found in the zone.
Not as a daily feed – its lists are snapshots with a "last update" date. NetAPI publishes a "new domains" list for every daily-updated zone and for all zones combined, containing the domains added in the last 24 hours.
Yes. After sign-up you receive an API token and can fetch any list, dataset, DNS or registrar file and the compromised feeds with a single request, as described in the API documentation. NetworksDB's API covers its IP and DNS lookups; its domain lists are downloaded manually.
Yes. The Top 1M ranking, the compromised domains and compromised IPs feeds and the abuse research reports are free, need no registration and are licensed CC BY 4.0; sample files for the paid lists and datasets are available on every zone page.
NetAPI is operated by CodeRockers LTD, a company registered in Cyprus with a published postal address, Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, and was built by the author of zonefiles.io. NetworksDB does not publish a legal entity or address on its website.
