Get started with our API right away
After your first domain order you can easily activate our API. Connect it to your website or control panel and automate domain registration and management for yourself and your customers.
In addition to documentation and sample files, we also offer a plug-in for HostFact. Install it, configure the connection and you are ready to go.
With our API you can integrate the following functions into your own systems, among others:
Order domain names
Register new domain names and transfer existing domains.
Manage Managed DNS
Add, modify and delete DNS records.
Update WHOIS data
Update contact details for registrant, admin and tech.
Manage transfer codes and locks
Request transfer codes and set or remove domain locks.
Change nameservers
Configure and update nameservers per domain.
Manage contacts
Create, update and link domain contacts.
How it works
Activate the API via the control panel, download the documentation and set up the connection step by step. This connects your systems safely and in a controlled manner to ours.
Get started in three steps
Our API is easy to activate and connect to your systems. Follow the steps below and get started right away. Any questions? We are happy to think along with you.
Register and manage domain names in real time
With our API you can integrate virtually all domain actions directly into your own website or control panel. From registering and transferring to managing Managed DNS zones.
All functions are clearly documented and supported with example files, so you can get started quickly and independently. For real-time registration, "pay later" must be enabled — this is available from 10 domain names. Not sure whether this applies to your situation? We are happy to look into it with you.

Connect directly with HostFact
Many of our customers use HostFact for automation and invoicing. That is why we developed our own domain name module that connects directly to our API.
Download the module, install it in HostFact and enter your API credentials. From that point on you manage your domains directly from your own environment.
