How to get Domain Typosquat Scanner on Apify
Find registered look-alike domains that impersonate your brand - typos, homoglyphs, TLD swaps, and bitsquatting - with live DNS, MX intercept checks, and 0-100 risk scores. A run saves one row per result.
Set up the Apify actor
Apify is where this run is collected. An actor is the program that collects the rows. A task is that program saved with your settings, so the next section can ask for the latest rows. You need a free Apify account.
- 01Open Domain Typosquat Scanner and click Try for free. Create an Apify account if you do not have one. The Free plan does not ask for a card.
- 02You are on the input form. Keep the sample for this first run.
{ "domain": "dm.hu", "registeredOnly": true, "maxResults": 5, "mailServerOnly": false, "minRiskScore": 0, "mxcheck": true, "whois": false, "timeout": 300, "threads": 16, "monitorMode": false, "includeUnchanged": false } - 03Leave the proxy setting as it is. Click Start and wait until the run says Succeeded.
- 04Open Storage, then Dataset. You should see
riskScore,variantDomain,fuzzer,hasMailServer. - 05When you want the real list, raise the row limit on the input. The sample is only there so the first run stays small.
- 06Go back to the input and choose Save as a new task. Name it after this list.
- 07Open the task. Copy the task ID from the address bar. Excel, Sheets, Power BI, and the other guides ask for this ID.
- 08On the task, open Schedules and add a weekly run if you want fresh rows. Each run pays the start charge and the charge for the rows. The amounts are in the price list on this page.
- 09Open Settings, then API & Integrations, and copy an API token. Excel, Sheets, and the other guides put this token in a download link. Anyone with that link can download the rows, so treat it like a password.
