Make it your workflow.

New searches check DA, age and DR first, with traffic left for later by default. Use Continue traffic in the dashboard’s Agent coordinator to add traffic to the saved shortlist, or select DA → age → DR → traffic before starting.

All keywords, discovered sites, DA, age, traffic, DR, sources and complete run history save automatically in extension memory. Data stays in this Chrome profile between restarts. Download a complete memory backup from the dashboard. Research uses background tabs and keeps the dashboard selected.

Ordinary Ahrefs script-loading errors retry automatically with bounded backoff. Persistent blocking remains unknown for review; other checks continue. Ahrefs checks retain the same domain and tab when verification appears. Open the verification tab from the dashboard, complete it yourself, and Scout resumes automatically. Other workers continue. Google searches use paced navigation and DA uses one Bulk tab.

As soon as a verified DA is below your limit, Scout asks the domain’s registration APIs for its registration date. Built-in lookup needs no API keys or checker setup. The age website remains an optional mode. Google, missing DA and age checks have separate queues. Dates are cached for 30 days. Registries may limit requests; Scout respects their cooldowns. If a registry cannot supply a date, an optional connected checker can be used. Traffic and DR run only after a verified age below your limit.

Create a free Ahrefs account and generate a free API key once. DR tries the official free Domain Rating API first. If a key is unavailable, Scout tries another enabled key. Temporary API errors retry; persistent errors can use the separate DR checker page. Rate-limited requests retain their cooldown. It does not return traffic or backlink counts. Provider rate limits and cooldowns apply.

Add keys as needed. Scout selects an available enabled key and keeps the DR queue moving. Provider-wide limits pause API requests for all keys; adding a key does not override those limits. Transient API errors retry before the website fallback is considered. Test key sends one check when clicked. During active research, failed keys also receive bounded background recovery tests with backoff; healthy keys are not repeatedly tested. A successful recovery returns queued DR work to the API without interrupting an active website check. Only sites that pass DA and age reach DR.

Keys stay in this extension's local storage and are omitted from dashboard state, reports and memory backups. Saved lists show labels and connection status only. Traffic uses the browser checker; CAPTCHA there still requires your verification.

Built-in registration APIs are the default and need no API key. Scout uses authoritative registry routes and verifies the requested domain and its registration event. Where a registry publishes alternative endpoints, failed routes can try another. Provider rate limits are respected, and an unreadable date stays unknown. The IPLocation website mode and connected checker are optional.

Optional checker setup: download the connection file, then open Connect-Age-Checker.cmd in the bundled age-checker-adapter folder. It copies your installed checker and adds the connection. Load that copy with Chrome’s Load unpacked button.

Built-in registration APIs are ready. No API key is required.
