Morning auction sweep
Filter GoDaddy, DropCatch, and other lots with --filter-json, then pipe domains into a shortlist file before you open the app.
Search expired and auction domains from your terminal
One standalone Go binary — karma — for the Karma.Domains Public API. Search expired domains, auction domains, backorder, and buy-now lots from the terminal. Look up reports and run live SEO checkers. Table output by default; --json for jq and scripts. Same Pro Bearer key as REST and MCP.
Prebuilt binaries from GitHub Releases. Unpack and put karma (or karma.exe) on your PATH. SHA-256 checksums ship with every release.
Latest v0.1.0
Prefer building from source? go build -o karma ./cmd/karma in the repo.
The CLI talks to the same Public API as curl and the SDKs. One key from Profile → Settings covers REST, MCP, and karma.
Requires the Pro plan or above. Create or reset the key in Profile → Settings. Treat it like a password — never commit it or paste it in public chats.
| Environment | export KARMA_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY |
|---|---|
| Flag | karma --api-key YOUR_API_KEY … |
| Config file | ~/.config/karma-domains/config.toml → api_key = "…" |
| Rate limit | 60 requests/minute per key (shared with REST and MCP) |
| List quota | 50,000 rows/day (UTC), page_size 1–100 |
| Live-tool quota | 200 non-cache calls/day (UTC); cache hits free |
Recorded demos — no API key required on this page. Switch scenarios to watch search tables, --json pipes into jq, lookups, and live checks.
Subcommands map to Public API routes. Default output is a readable table; add --json for the raw payload.
karma search Search expired, auction, backorder, and buy-now reports. Flags --tld, --domain-type, --moz-da-min, --page, --page-size, --sort-by, --filter-json, --filter-file.
karma domain <name> Look up a domain across all bases.
karma report <type> <id> Fetch a full report by report_type and report_id.
karma profile Show the authenticated user email and credit balance.
karma check <tool> <domain> Live checkers — expiry, whois, domain_authority, domain_age, traffic, dns, spam_score, karma_metric, backlinks, and more. 1 credit per domain unless cached.
karma favorites list|add|remove List favorites or pin/unpin a report.
--json Print the raw API JSON (pretty-printed). --api-key Override KARMA_API_KEY for one invocation. --base-url Override the API base URL (advanced). Full filter names and response fields — Public API docs and OpenAPI.
Install once, authenticate with your Pro key, then search or pipe JSON from any shell.
karma on your PATH.KARMA_API_KEY, --api-key, or ~/.config/karma-domains/config.toml.--json plus jq for scripts and cron.Same inventory as the website and Public API — from a morning sweep or a nightly job.
Filter GoDaddy, DropCatch, and other lots with --filter-json, then pipe domains into a shortlist file before you open the app.
Require Moz DA, KarmaScore, or TLD constraints, then extract only the fields you need for a sheet or Slack message.
Schedule karma --json search and alert when new matches appear. One binary — no Python or Node runtime on the server.
Run karma check expiry or whois on a finalist. Live tools cost 1 credit per domain; cache hits are free.
List saved reports with karma favorites list, or add/remove pins without leaving the shell.
When curl is too verbose and you do not want a language SDK, karma wraps search, report, and checkers in one command.
Yes. The CLI uses the Public API Bearer key, which requires Pro or above. Create the key in Profile → Settings.
Yes. One key for REST, the MCP server, and karma. The 60 requests/minute cap is shared.
Default search and favorites print a compact table (domain, base, report id). Pass --json for the full API payload — ideal for jq, scripts, and cron.
Use --filter-json or --filter-file with the same field names as POST /v1/reports/search. See the Public API landing and OpenAPI.
Prebuilt binaries for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Linux (x86_64 and ARM64), and Windows (x64 and ARM64). Downloads are on GitHub Releases.
karma check … costs 1 credit per domain unless the response is cached (cache hits are free). List search and report reads count against the request limit and daily row quota, not extra credits.
Use the CLI for terminal workflows and jq pipes. Use curl or the Python / TypeScript SDKs in app code. Use MCP when you want ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor to call the same inventory in chat.
Not every Public API route is wrapped yet (for example share links and SEO enrich). Use curl or an SDK for those, or check the CLI repo for updates.
Same inventory as the app — from your shell
One Pro key for the CLI, Public API, and MCP. Six platforms. Table or --json.
