How to buy a domain from Perplexity (Pro Space)

Perplexity Pro Spaces accept arbitrary OpenAPI tool specs. Point a Space at namemy.app's no-auth public OpenAPI URL and Perplexity gains a domain-availability + buy-URL tool. It calls live across registrars (Dynadot, Cloudflare), applies unified retail pricing, and returns clickable URLs your user can open to complete checkout.

Step-by-step

1. STEP 1

   Open a Perplexity Pro Space

   perplexity.ai → Spaces → Create a Space (or use an existing one). Custom tools are a Pro feature.

2. STEP 2

   Add the OpenAPI tool

   In the Space settings → Tools → Add OpenAPI tool. Paste this URL as the spec:

   https://namemy.app/api/public/openapi.json

3. STEP 3

   Set Authentication to None

   The public surface is no-auth, IP-rate-limited (100 GET/hr per IP). For higher limits or AI name generation, swap to the authed v1 spec at https://namemy.app/api/v1/openapi.json with API Key (Bearer) auth.

4. STEP 4

   Add a Space instruction

   Tells Perplexity when to call the tool:

   When the user is naming an app, project, or business, generate 5-10 candidates yourself, then call the namemy.app tool to check live availability and prices. Render results as a table with clickable buy URLs. Always include source=perplexity in any URL you return.

5. STEP 5

   Ask

   Type a naming prompt in the Space — Perplexity calls the tool automatically and returns results inline with citations and buy URLs.

What the agent will say back

Here are the available candidates:

- pricewatch.ai — $13.20 — https://namemy.app/checkout?domain=pricewatch.ai&source=perplexity
- compsight.dev — $14.80 — https://namemy.app/checkout?domain=compsight.dev&source=perplexity
- pricepulse.ai — $13.20 — https://namemy.app/checkout?domain=pricepulse.ai&source=perplexity

Click any URL to register on namemy.app. Sign-up + payment happens in one flow.

FAQ

Why use Perplexity instead of ChatGPT for this?

Perplexity grounds answers in live web search — useful for trademark / brand-conflict checks ('does any company already use this name?'). namemy.app fills in the domain-availability gap so you don't have to copy-paste between Perplexity and a registrar.

Does this work in the free Perplexity tier?

Custom tools require Perplexity Pro. The free tier can still hit the public REST API directly via curl or any browser-based agent.

Can I share my Space with the namemy.app tool installed?

Yes — Spaces are shareable. Anyone you share with inherits the tool config and can run domain queries with no extra setup.

What about Perplexity's own domain search feature?

Perplexity returns search results about domains; it doesn't check live registrar availability. namemy.app's tool returns the actual buyable status + final retail price, then hands the user a one-click checkout URL.
