The full domain list export contains every .dev domain webXtrend knows, 778,910 today. New .dev domains come every day with the daily new-domain file, together with all other TLDs, and the API answers for any single domain: DNS history, redirects, reverse IP and the start page.

Counts are the domains webXtrend knows, from its own measurement of the public domain name space. They are not the registry's figures: where a registry does not publish its zone, our count can be lower than its own. Registry facts come from the IANA root zone database.
