See also: AWS API Documentation

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  get-domain-suggestions
--domain-name <value>
--suggestion-count <value>
--only-available | --no-only-available
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--domain-name (string)

A domain name that you want to use as the basis for a list of possible domain names. The top-level domain (TLD), such as .com, must be a TLD that Route 53 supports. For a list of supported TLDs, see Domains that You Can Register with Amazon Route 53 in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide .

The domain name can contain only the following characters:

• Letters a through z. Domain names are not case sensitive.

• Numbers 0 through 9.

• Hyphen (-). You can’t specify a hyphen at the beginning or end of a label.

• Period (.) to separate the labels in the name, such as the . in example.com .

Internationalized domain names are not supported for some top-level domains. To determine whether the TLD that you want to use supports internationalized domain names, see Domains that You Can Register with Amazon Route 53 .

--suggestion-count (integer)

The number of suggested domain names that you want Route 53 to return. Specify a value between 1 and 50.

--only-available | --no-only-available (boolean)

If OnlyAvailable is true , Route 53 returns only domain names that are available. If OnlyAvailable is false , Route 53 returns domain names without checking whether they’re available to be registered. To determine whether the domain is available, you can call checkDomainAvailability for each suggestion.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To get a list of suggested domain names

The following get-domain-suggestions command displays a list of suggested domain names based on the domain name example.com. The response includes only domain names that are available. This command runs only in the us-east-1 Region. If your default region is set to us-east-1, you can omit the region parameter.

aws route53domains get-domain-suggestions \
    --region us-east-1 \
    --domain-name example.com \
    --suggestion-count 10 \
    --only-available
