Noticed this today while playing with the GD OTE API...

GoDaddy is also
HIDING recent auction sales data from the Production API (effectively, the Appraisals web tool, because that's where the Appraisal tool fetches data from). Shady???

For example, Eign .com was bought @ GD auctions for $XXX this year

Make an api call to /v1/appraisal and its missing from https://api.godaddy.com/v1/appraisal/eign.com => on the appraisal web interface this is missing

But,

if you make an API call to the OTE environment, https://api.ote-godaddy.com/v1/appraisal/eign.com, it reveals eign .com's past auction sales data, which is returned in the response O_o

Furthermore, found something related
to @equity78's post on GD valuation change, the valuation on the OTE API is the same as it was when GD introduced a short-term change to it's Appraisals API. What could possibly be GoDaddy's motivation behind this, to intentionally hide auction sales data?

Interesting? Could it be a good trick to extract/reveal GoDaddy auction sales data?
