The domain type represents lookalike or typosquatted domains identified by Flare’s detection engines, often leveraging tools such as dnstwist.
These records capture information about suspicious domains that closely resemble legitimate organizations’ domains and could be used in phishing, brand impersonation, or malware campaigns.
The domain event is the discovery event, emitted when Flare first finds a lookalike domain. Update events follow it. Each one carries a single enrichment result and points back to the discovered domain through its domain field.

Querying discovery and update events

Discovery and update events are distinct types. Request each one you need by its type filter value, for example "type": ["lookalike_discovery", "lookalike_title"].
lookalike_discovery alone, or no type filter, returns discovery events only. domain and the domains category return discovery and update events together.
DNS records, WHOIS/RDAP and SSL certificate events require Extended Lookalike Domain Monitoring.
