Find Subdomains in Google Sheets & Excel

What this pulls

Enumerate a domain's subdomains from a cell. Lists live subdomains with DNS records — Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 500 credits per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

Audit a list of domains

Put your domains in a column and fill =VERVE("subdomainfinder", "google.com", "field", "rootDomain.domain") to pull each one's records or health into the grid — a whole portfolio checked at once.

Enrich a prospect sheet

Add domain intelligence beside your leads so sales or security can sort and prioritize without leaving the sheet.

Monitor on a schedule

Let auto-refresh re-check every domain periodically so a monitoring sheet flags changes on its own.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("subdomainfinder", "google.com", "field", "rootDomain.domain")

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("subdomainfinder", "google.com", "field", "rootDomain.domain")

Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

limitPremium
Limit the number of subdomains to detect
=VERVE("subdomainfinder", "google.com", "limit", "5")
deepScanPremium
Search the full wordlist instead of only certificate transparency and common names. Slower, and may still report complete: false when the time limit is reached
=VERVE("subdomainfinder", "google.com", "deepScan", "true")

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Root Domain › Domain

Count
=VERVE("subdomainfinder", "google.com", "field", "count")
Total Found
=VERVE("subdomainfinder", "google.com", "field", "totalFound")

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Find Subdomains, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Find Subdomains into Google Sheets?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("subdomainfinder", "google.com", "field", "rootDomain.domain") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.

What data can I pull from Find Subdomains?

Find Subdomains returns rootDomain.domain, rootDomain.records, subDomains, subDomains.0.host and subDomains.0.records, plus 2 more — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.

Can I narrow what Find Subdomains returns?

Yes — Find Subdomains takes "limit" and "deepScan" as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("subdomainfinder", "google.com", "limit", "5") shapes the result without changing anything else.

Can I fill a whole column of Find Subdomains at once?

Yes. Put your domain values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.

How many credits does each Find Subdomains cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 500 credits. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.

Does Find Subdomains work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
