Domain Name Classification API

Question

I need to categorize domains into different categories that make the best use of a domain name. Similar to categorizing "gamez.com" as a game portal. Is there any service that offers a classification of a domain name, such as Sedo ?

Answer 1

All the systems that I know about manage the list, somewhat manually.

Using web filtering proxies (e.g. WebSense) for inspiration, you can scan for keywords contained in a domain name, or in web content / meta tags at a specified location. However, there are always elements that seem to correspond to more than one category or category, and they need deeper analysis.

In the end, you end up creating your rather complex logic, maintaining the list manually, or buying the list from someone else.

Answer 2

If these are new domains or unused domains. There is no information on the Internet. You can use a mechanical Turk, for example: https://www.mturk.com/ .

You can publish an assignment with your list and possible categories. The downside is that it will cost you money.

If these domains are already in use, you can use the bookmarking service as xmarks or delicious. Retrieve all public bookmarks from this domain and count the number of tags. Most used tags will indicate the domain category.

Answer 3

SimilarWeb API does this.

It is really straightforward and returns the specified domain category from the URL.
