Field notes
The page describes a pipeline that harvests English Wikipedia’s live external links, then checks registrable domains through RDAP and DNS-over-HTTPS. Its displayed status classes distinguish names with no registry record from parked domains, domains with resolving DNS, and registered names without DNS; inconclusive checks are also counted. The API table lists free basic lookups and paid deep endpoints, with payment handled per call through x402.
