Finding RGP Lists for Domain Drop Order

[DutchBoyd]

Hi guys,

I've been coding up my own drop-catching scripts to use with some registrar APIs. So far, it's been working just ok... though today I did proudly handreg two domains that had bids at NameJet.

My script is really lacking, though, because I don't have a good source for the RGP files to populate a list of the drop order. It looks like I can get these through DRT, but they will be a month behind.

Can anyone lead me to a good source for finding the RGP lists so I can populate the order of the drops tomorrow?

Thanks,
Dutch Boyd

Dutch,

What you're looking for is PendingDelete lists, not RGP lists. RGP are domain names in RedemptionGracePeriod, which means they expired, went to Registrar-Hold period and then went to RGP period. Next status is PendingDelete.

Estibot.com provides raw PendingDelete lists (in drops section of the site) that have the domain listed in the order in which the REGISTRY deletes it. This is for com/net only, we don't have drop order for .org/info/net/etc.

Good luck,
Luc
