# Domains ranking

Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/radar/investigate/domain-ranking-datasets/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Cloudflare regularly generates a domain ranking based on DNS queries to [1.1.1.1](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/), Cloudflare's public DNS resolver. Refer to the [blog post ↗](https://blog.cloudflare.com/radar-domain-rankings/) for a deep dive. In short, Cloudflare generates two types of listings:

* An ordered list of the top 100 most popular domains globally and per country. This includes the last 24 hours and is updated daily.
* An unordered global most popular domains dataset, divided into buckets of the following number of domains: 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, 100,000, 200,000, 500,000, 1,000,000\. It includes the last seven days and is updated weekly.

## List of endpoints

### Top

#### Example: Get the current ordered top domains in the Cloudflare ranking

```bash
curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/radar/ranking/top?name=top&limit=5" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>"
```

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "errors": [],
  "result": {
    "top_0": [
			{
				"rank": 1,
				"domain": "google.com"
			},
			{
				"rank": 2,
				"domain": "googleapis.com"
			},
			{
				"rank": 3,
				"domain": "facebook.com"
			},
			{
				"rank": 4,
				"domain": "gstatic.com"
			},
			{
				"rank": 5,
				"domain": "apple.com"
			}
    ]
  },
	"meta": {
		// ...
	}
}
```

For more information refer to [Get top domains](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/radar/subresources/ranking/methods/top/).

#### Example: Download top `x` ranking bucket file

As mentioned in the [blog post ↗](https://blog.cloudflare.com/radar-domain-rankings/), Cloudflare provides an ordered rank for the top 100 domains, but for the remainder it only provides ranking buckets — like top 200 thousand, top one million, etc.. These are available through Cloudflare's [datasets endpoints](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/radar/subresources/datasets/methods/list/).

In the following example we will request the last available domain ranking buckets:

```bash
curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/radar/datasets?limit=10&datasetType=RANKING_BUCKET" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>"
```

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "errors": [],
  "result": {
		"datasets": [
			{
				"id": 213,
				"title": "Top 1000000 ranking domains",
				"description": "Unordered top 1000000 from 2023-01-02 to 2023-01-09",
				"type": "RANKING_BUCKET",
				"tags": [
					"GLOBAL",
					"top_1000000"
				],
				"meta": {
					"top": 1000000
				},
				"alias": "ranking_top_1000000"
			},
			// ...
		]
	}
}
```

If you are interested in a specific top (like the top one million), go through the `meta.top` property. After finding the top you are looking for, get its `id` to fetch the dataset using the [GET dataset download url](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/radar/subresources/datasets/methods/download/) endpoint.

Then you can request a download url:

```bash
curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/radar/datasets/download" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
  "datasetId": 213
}'
```

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "errors": [],
  "result": {
		"dataset": {
			"url": "https://example.com/download"
		}
	}
}
```

#### Example: Get the last top `x` ranking bucket

This endpoint allows you to directly request the latest top x bucket available (optionally at a given date) [Get dataset stream](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/radar/subresources/datasets/methods/get/) endpoint.

The dataset alias can be retrieved from the [Get datasets](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/radar/subresources/datasets/methods/list/) endpoint as the example above.

This stream endpoint is only available for datasets generated after 2023-01-08.

```bash
curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/radar/datasets/ranking_top_1000" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>"
```

```csv
domain
1rx.io
2mdn.net
360yield.com
3lift.com
a-msedge.net
a2z.com
...
```
