For Developers

A domain API for builders who'd rather ship than click through a dashboard.

Check availability, register, and manage domains programmatically — with the same transparent pricing and free WHOIS privacy as the dashboard.

What you can do with the API

Programmatic availability checks

Query any domain name straight from your own code — the same check the dashboard runs, without the clicks.

Bulk domain lookup

Check hundreds of names in a single request. Built for scripts, not for copy-pasting into a search box.

Register and manage domains

Register, renew, or update a domain entirely from your own app — authenticated with your API token, no dashboard required.

One token per app

Issue a separate, named token for each app or environment — production, staging, a local script — and revoke any single one without touching the rest.

Same pricing, no matter how you integrate

Domains registered through the API are billed at the exact same rate shown on the pricing page.

Developer FAQ

Generate an API token from your dashboard's API tokens page, then send it in the x-api-key header on every request. Full setup steps are in the help center guide to getting an API token.
