Domain Activity ToolPad
The ToolPad is a browser-based query tool for the Domain Activity Feed, hosted on DnPedia. It lets you search gTLD zone additions and deletions using your CodePunch API credentials — no code required.
Requires an active Domain Activity Feed subscription. Authentication uses your API key and secret directly in the browser. Your token is stored in sessionStorage and is never sent to DnPedia's servers.
Getting Started
Open the ToolPad and enter your API key and API secret. Click Authenticate. If successful, the search panel appears. Your session is saved in the browser tab — you will not need to re-authenticate until you close the tab or click Sign out.
The ToolPad authenticates directly with api.codepunch.com from your browser. If you have a running script using the same API credentials, authenticating in the ToolPad will invalidate that script's token. Re-run your script's authentication after using the ToolPad.

Example Queries

Results
Results are displayed as a plain text list of domain names, one per line. The status bar shows the total number of matching domains, how many are shown, and the date range queried.
Two export options are available: Copy copies all domain names to the clipboard, and Download CSV saves them as a CSV file.
To page through large result sets, add start:N to your query to move to the next page. For example if the first query used start:0 limit:500, the next page is start:500 limit:500.
