Is there a way to get a list of every domain in existence?

This https://www.whoisxmlapi.com/whois-database-download.php is a start, but there's new ones every second so you're going to need to update a lot.

I think it's not possible as domains don't have to be registered necessarily - a server can serve a domain at a particular IP so long as the requesting client uses a domain that the server responds to.

Obviously if it's registered domains then you can in theory just get the list from the registrar. They probably sell the full list for a price.

I imagine you can harvest a list with sufficient resources.
