}Renew Domain
Renews an existing domain for an additional registration period. Include the domain name and renewal term. If the domain has non-standard pricing (e.g. premium), the purchasePrice must be passed. This is typically used to extend ownership before a domain’s expiration.

}Authorizations
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.
Path Parameters
DomainName is the domain to renew.
Body
RenewDomainRequest passes the domain name and purchase parameters to the RenewDomain function.
PurchasePrice is the amount in USD to pay for the domain renewal at the minimum renewal period (typically 1 year). If VAT tax applies, it will also be added automatically. PurchasePrice is required if this is a premium domain.
10.99
Years specifies how many years to renew the domain for. Years defaults to the minimum time period (typically 1 year) if not passed and cannot be more than 10. Some TLDs default to longer periods (e.g. .AI requires a 2 year renewal).
