Subject: API Change Date Posted: Aug 24, 2008 1:04am PDT
 
Due to complaints from Verisign, we have now added some restrictions to the API:

"For COM/NET domains, you can only check or register the same domain 10 times every 100 seconds. "

Did this change break the API?  We're getting these messages even when sending API commands with long delays.
"error,currently processing another request from this account"
"error,account banned for 10 minutes due to abuse"

No, you will see message "over_quota".

But I see, that Snapnames may send to Verisign registry thousands queries without limitations

10 times per 100 seconds for every user, everyone at Dynadot, or every single registrar?

Time to find a new registrar I guess. Harsh, but that's reality. This sucks.

This is pretty crappy. I think it's time we get the API users to contact Verisign for the fact that Enom, Snap, Namescout, BuyDomains, and all these others sending many more requests. Happy to know I still know other registrars with API

Definitely don't forget iTime Marketing.

Domains I've dropped have been registered by them within a couple or few seconds - must be sending requests 24/7.

yeah this is BS dynadot.  We have spent a lot of money for these API account.

At least ease up a little more, how about 20 checks per 100 seconds?
