Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Authenticate via HTTP Basic with your account username and API token. Examples use an explicit 'Authorization: Basic <base64(username:token)>' header; 'curl -u username:token' is equivalent. For sandbox, append "-test" to your username and use your sandbox token on api.dev.name.com.

Headers

Content-Type

enum<string>

required

Required Content-Type Header for POST requests.

Available options:

application/json

Path Parameters

domainName

string

required

DomainName is the domain name to disable whoisprivacy for.

Response

A successful response.

Domain contains all relevant data for a domain.

domainName

string

The punycode-encoded value of the domain name.

Example:

"example.com"

createDate

string<date-time>

read-only

The date and time when the domain was created at the registry.

Example:

"2023-01-15T14:30:00Z"

expireDate

string<date-time>

read-only

The date and time when the domain will expire.

Example:

"2025-01-15T14:30:00Z"

autorenewEnabled

boolean

Indicates whether the domain is set to renew automatically before expiration.

Example:

true

locked

boolean

Indicates if the domain is transfer locked, preventing transfers to another registrar.

Example:

true

locks

string[]

read-only

List of all registry locking statuses currently applied to the domain. Use this to see which locks are active (e.g. clientTransferProhibited, clientHold). Empty when the domain has no locks applied.

Example:

["clientTransferProhibited", "clientHold"]

transferLockExpiresAt

string<date-time>

read-only

When present, the domain has an active ICANN-mandated transfer lock (new registration, transfer-in, or material registrant contact change) that blocks client unlock via the API until this time. When omitted, there is no active policy transfer lock with a known expiry — the domain may still be locked (locked: true) due to a voluntary user lock. Does not represent RegistrarLock, AccountLock, verification holds, trademark-claim locks, or admin TransferLock with no expiry date.

Example:

"2023-03-16T14:30:00Z"

privacyEnabled

boolean

Indicates if Whois Privacy is enabled for this domain.

Example:

true

contacts

object

Contacts stores the contact information for the roles related to domains.

Show child attributes

nameservers

string[]

The list of nameservers assigned to this domain. If unspecified, it defaults to the account's default nameservers.

Example:

["ns1.example.com", "ns2.example.com"]

renewalPrice

number<double>

read-only

The cost to renew the domain. This may be required for the RenewDomain operation.

Example:

12.99
