Reseller API

We provide full featured HTTP API for all our resellers.

General information

Attention!

API is not intended to catch the dropping domains. The restrictions on the number of ENQs are introduced. Non-observance will result in a ban.
We have special interface for catching.

Sometimes the operation can take up to 10 minutes due to circumstances beyond our control. Therefore set 10 minutes timeout for the API response.

  • API is available via HTTPS;
  • API test and run-time versions are available and can be found at https://demo-api.domaincontext.com and https://api.domaincontext.com respectively;
  • Requests are sent over https://api.domaincontext.com/apiCommand. Request data are transferred via GET or POST variables;
  • There are variables such as auth_login and auth_password used for authorization;
  • The results of the request are returned encoded in JSON;
  • In case of an error there will be "_error" element in a returned array. This key will contain the description of the error;
  • Acceptable request results may be:
    • scalar "true"
    • an array which does not contain "_error" element
    • any other result including the blank is an error
Example:
https://demo-api.domaincontext.com/domainsCheck?auth_login=demo&auth_password=demo&domains=test.com,adfwer234asdf.net

This is a run-time example. You may copy URL, paste it in Web browser and see the errors.

2.1. domainsCheck

The only argument of "domains" command is a comma delimited list of domains. It is needed to check domain availability for registration.
* - an “asterisk” means that an argument is required. It's omission provokes an error.

https://demo-api.domaincontext.com/domainsCheck?auth_login=demo&auth_password=demo&domains=test.com,adfwer234asdf.net

2.2. domainRegister

Be sure to type only a domain name. Other parameters provide defaults.

https://demo-api.domaincontext.com/domainRegister?auth_login=demo&auth_password=demo&domain=test42345.com

2.3. domainsRegister

An example of bulk-operation conducted upon several objects at the same time. A word “array” is used in the description of arguments. It means that the array has to be transferred and its every element fits as an argument for a stated operation. In our case it is domainRegister.

sometimes the operation can take up to 10 minutes due to circumstances beyond our control. therefore set 10 minutes timeout for the api response.

https://demo-api.domaincontext.com/domainsRegister?auth_login=demo&auth_password=demo&0[domain]=test42345.com&1[domain]=test123123.net

2.4. domainGetInfo

It is very easy – here you need to transfer a name or ID of a domain. It sends back domain array of data.

https://demo-api.domaincontext.com/domainGetInfo?auth_login=demo&auth_password=demo&domain=test42345.com

2.5. domainsGetInfo

Bulk-operation - upon several objects at the same time.

https://demo-api.domaincontext.com/domainsGetInfo?auth_login=demo&auth_password=demo&0[domain]=test42345.com&1[domain]=test.com

2.6. domainSetNote

Blank or not indicated “note” – deletes any note.

https://demo-api.domaincontext.com/domainSetNote?auth_login=demo&auth_password=demo&domain=test.com&note=abc

2.7. domainsSetNote

https://demo-api.domaincontext.com/domainsSetNote?auth_login=demo&auth_password=demo&0[domain]=test.com&0[note]=abc&1[domain]=test3.com&1[note]=def

2.8. domainsSetDNS

https://demo-api.domaincontext.com/domainsSetDNS?auth_login=demo&auth_password=demo&5504202[1][type]=a&5504202[1][value]=123.123.123.123&5504202[1][no]=1&5504202[1][ttl]=7200&5504202[1][status]=new
