Hi would like to know if it's possible in GSC to view or retrieve the keywords that were used for a page before the domain name expired ?

No, you can't use GSC to do that. Unless the domain expired very recently and was ranking very recently before it expired.
To more successfully do what you want, you need Semrush or Ahrefs. I use semrush. Just choose the date which you want to get keywords for. It'll be indicated right there on Semrush.
According to my knowledge, after a domain expires, you can't get keyword info from Google Search Console. Just check if you saved any reports or data from Google Analytics before it expired.

You can attempt to retrieve this information by using archived data from tools like the Wayback Machine to review past content and meta tags, or by checking historical data from third-party SEO tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush. If Google Analytics was set up for the domain, you might also find historical keyword data there.

GSC doesn't retain historical data indefinitely, and once a domain expires, access to GSC for that domain is typically lost.You can use archive.org to view snapshots of your website from before it expired. While it won't provide keyword data directly, you can see the content and structure of your pages, which might help infer the keywords you were targeting.

If you didn't download or save the keyword data before the expiration, you're out of luck for retrieving it directly from GSC.
