Ask HN: What is the best domain registrar with a solid api?
We are looking into domain registrars for our project https://cloudfleet.io.
As we expect to register many domains, we need a registrar with a solid API and reseller friendly prices.
What are your experiences?
Who would you recommend?
- kermit666 11y agoNameCheap seems to have an XML-based API: https://www.namecheap.com/support/api/intro.aspx https://www.namecheap.com/support/api/intro.aspx Not something that fills me up with joy :/ There's an unofficial Ruby wrapper that hasn't been touched in a year... https://github.com/parasquid/namecheap https://github.com/parasquid/namecheap Does anyone have any other recommendations?
- euan_torano 11y agoName.com have a JSON API for resellers that you must apply to use: https://www.name.com/reseller https://www.name.com/reseller Gandi have an XML-RPC based API too (and has some decent code examples): http://doc.rpc.gandi.net/ http://doc.rpc.gandi.net/
- kermit666 11y agoHave you used Name.com, perhaps?
- euan_torano 11y agoI haven't used their API, but I have used their domain registration and SSL services in the past.
- kermit666 11y agoOK, thanks. Yeah, we'll look into the Name.com API if we don't get some more prompt responses from DomainBox (with whose customer service we're chatting for the past two weeks to get even the most basic API calls working).
