Manage group API accounts

Introduction

Group API Management lets a group administrator view and manage the API accounts in their company group from one page, without contacting DomainTools support. From this page, a group administrator can:

View all API accounts in the group
View each account’s usage by product
Reset (rotate) an account’s API key
Deactivate an API account
Export the group’s current API usage as a CSV (comma-separated values) file

Prerequisites

API Management is part of the Groups page for enterprise accounts. Only your group’s administrators have access to the API Management tab, and that access can’t be delegated to other members. If you don’t see the tab, you aren’t a group administrator — ask a group administrator for help.

Access API Management

Log into your DomainTools account at https://research.domaintools.com/.
Open the ACCOUNT drop-down menu at the top right and select GROUP ADMIN, or go directly to https://research.domaintools.com/group/.
Select the API Management tab.

Quick overview

The API Management tab listing the group's API accounts, with a filter box and Export as CSV button

The list shows each API account in the group with its Username and Email. Each account’s per-product usage appears in the columns Product, Reset Date (the date the monthly usage quota resets), Usage, Capacity, and % (percent of the monthly capacity used). The reset date can differ by product. Some products show a Capacity of (unlimited) and don’t track a percentage.

To narrow the list, use the Filter users… box at the top of the page to filter by email.

View an account’s API details

Select Show More on an account to open its detail view in a dialog. The dialog shows the account’s single API Key with a copy button and a Reset button at the top, and the full per-product usage table below.

The API key is partly masked by default, with only the first and last segments shown. Use the copy button next to it to copy the full key to the clipboard.

Reset an API key

Resetting an account’s API key replaces it immediately: the old key stops working right away and returns HTTP 403 errors, so update any integrations that use it before you reset. The account owner isn’t notified by email. DomainTools keeps an audit record of key resets, which aren’t shown on the Group Admin page.

Select Show More on the account to open its detail view.
Select Reset next to the API Key field.
Select Yes, Reset at the Are you sure? prompt to rotate the key, or Cancel to keep the current key.

Deactivate an API account

Select Remove in an account’s detail view to deactivate that API account. The account’s API key stops working and the account no longer appears in the API Management list. Update any integrations that use the key before you deactivate the account.

Export the usage report

Select Export as CSV at the top right of the API Management tab to download the group’s current API usage. The file has one row per account-product combination, with these columns:

Username,Email,Product,Reset Date,Usage,Capacity,%
"jdoe","jdoe@example.com","Iris Investigate","2026-07-01",1240,50000,2

String fields are quoted, and % is a rounded whole number.

The export reflects the current view: it includes only the users matched by the Filter users… box and follows the sort column and order in effect.

View usage programmatically

The group view is available only in the Group Admin page, not from the API. To check usage for a single account programmatically, call the Account Information API with that account’s key. It returns the account’s products, per-product usage for the current day and month, and the configured limits.

curl -H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  'https://api.domaintools.com/v1/account/'
