ROOT CAUSE:
- Overview API prioritized database data (only Porkbun prices)
- Compare API prioritized static data (5+ registrars)
- This caused price mismatches between Overview table and Detail page
SOLUTION:
- Changed Overview API to prioritize static data for TLDs with rich
multi-registrar pricing (like Compare API does)
- Database data now used only for TLDs NOT in static data
- This ensures all APIs return identical prices for same TLDs
VERIFICATION:
- .com: Overview=$10.75, Compare=$10.75 ✓
- .io: Overview=$32.33, Compare=$32.33 ✓
- .ai: Overview=$71.63, Compare=$71.63 ✓
- .xyz: Overview=$6.86, Compare=$6.86 ✓
DATA FLOW (now consistent):
1. Static TLDs (18): Use rich multi-registrar data
2. DB-only TLDs (869): Use Porkbun scraped data
3. Total: 887 TLDs with consistent pricing
PROBLEM:
- TLD prices in overview table differed from detail page
- Detail page was recalculating prices instead of using API data
SOLUTION:
1. Updated Frontend API types to include all backend fields:
- getTldCompare: Added type, description, registry, introduced,
cheapest_registrar, cheapest_price, price_range
- getTldHistory: Added type, description, registry, trend,
trend_reason, source
2. Fixed TLD Detail Page:
- Now uses price_range from Compare API directly
- Removed manual price recalculation
- Uses trend/trend_reason from History API
- All values now match Overview table exactly
RESULT:
- Prices are now 100% consistent:
- Overview table shows avg_registration_price from /overview API
- Detail page shows pricing.avg from /compare API (same values)
- Trending cards show current_price from /trending API (same values)
- All calculated using get_avg_price() in backend
