## Check Availability

```bash
~/.nvm/versions/node/v22.21.1/bin/node {baseDir}/scripts/check.mjs example.com
~/.nvm/versions/node/v22.21.1/bin/node {baseDir}/scripts/check.mjs example.com example.io example.app
```

## Get Pricing

```bash
~/.nvm/versions/node/v22.21.1/bin/node {baseDir}/scripts/price.mjs com
~/.nvm/versions/node/v22.21.1/bin/node {baseDir}/scripts/price.mjs io app dev
```

## Search Available Domains

```bash
~/.nvm/versions/node/v22.21.1/bin/node {baseDir}/scripts/search.mjs myawesome startup
```

## List Your Domains

```bash
