Domain API Command List

Our API is your advanced domain management and acquisition toolkit that's built for efficiency. With over 50 commands to setup, manage, register, and bid throughout the Dynadot platform, you'll have full control over your account and domain settings on any API software of your choice. Our domain API is available to all accounts, so get started today!

Getting Started With Our Advanced Domain API

Requests to our Advanced Domain API are sent to the following URL:

Requests should be sent over https (secure socket) for security. Only 1 request can be processed at a time, so please wait for your current request to finish before sending another request. The request should have the following two parameters, a 'Key' and a 'Command'. The commands can each be clicked to see the parameters associated with them.
