      summary: Create an asynchronous domain discovery job
      description: Queue one cursor-paginated page from a curated English single-word corpus sourced from iannuttall/unclaimed under the MIT License. Filters are applied before page selection. Every selected word is checked across every requested TLD, and each word-TLD pair counts toward the hard limit of 100 checks per job and uses normal /v1/status pricing. Poll, retrieve results, or cancel the returned job through the existing /v1/batches endpoints. Use next_cursor to continue the filtered search. Unknown outcomes are preserved and are never reported as available.
