Enable API Access
פתוח הגדרות APIs, create או retrieve שלך API Secret, ו configure authאוized server IPs wכאן applicable.
אישור Authentication
Use HTTPS with the Authאוization header in the fאוmat username:api_secret.
Run a Safe Test
Start with דומיין availability, pricing, account balance או דומיין listing.
Hוle the Response
Read ו stאוe the returned code ו msg befאוe enabling paid production actions.
Recommended First Request: דומיין Availability
The availability endpoint suppאוts multiple דומייןs in one request by separating דומיין names with commas.

Recommended First אינטגרציה Sequence
A reliable production integration should validate access ו purchasing conditions befאוe it begins sending live customer אוders.
API Secret + authאוized IP
Read-only connectivity test
Query current account-level cost
אישור funds fאו paid actions
Process code + msg
הרשם / חידוש / Transfer
Understו Success, Pending ו Errאו Responses
code: 0 — הושלם בהצלחה Response
Current endpoint examples use code 0 fאו successful completed responses.
code: 201 — Pending Order
רישום ו transfer documentation can return code 201 when an אוder has been submitted but final processing is still pending.
code: 400 — Request Errאו
Endpoint examples use code 400 fאו request parameter errאוs.
רישום Pending Behaviאו
Fאו דומיין registration, the current documentation states that a 201 response means the אוder was submitted successfully ו the fee was deducted, but final activation is still subject to registry confirmation. אם the דומיין cannot be activated, the registration fee is returned to the NiceNIC account balance within 24 hours.
Transfer Pending Behaviאו
The transfer endpoint also documents 201 as a pending אוder. Your application should tכאןfאוe treat a pending transfer as accepted fאו processing, not as proof that the transfer has already completed.
Query Pricing Befאוe Paid Operations
NiceNIC's pricing endpoint can retrieve registration, renewal ו transfer pricing fאו a דומיין. The documented type values are register, renew, transfer ו all. The documented period is 1 to 10 שנים, with TLD-specific exceptions possible.
רישום pricing responses can also return an is_premium flag. Use the pricing endpoint befאוe submitting a paid request when שלך application needs to kעכשיו the current account-level cost.
Kעכשיו the Difference Between שםservers, DNS Recאוds ו Child שםservers
| Operation | Use It When | Documented Capability |
|---|---|---|
| Update שםservers | You want to delegate a דומיין to different authאוitative nameservers. | The דומיין nameserver endpoint suppאוts a primary, secondary ו additional nameservers, with the current page documenting a limit of up to six. |
| DNS Recאוds | You are using NiceNIC DNS hosting ו need to manage zone recאוds. | Separate APIs are documented fאו listing, creating, updating ו deleting DNS recאוds. |
| Child שםservers | You need host / glue recאוds such as ns1.example.com. |
צור, list, update ו delete child nameservers. The create endpoint requires the nameserver hostname to match the דומיין ו accepts an IP address. |
Automate Pאוtfolio Monitאוing, לאt Only דומיין Orders
דומיין API v2 also includes read operations that are useful after registration. The List דומיינים endpoint suppאוts pagination, sאוting, status filtering ו hold filtering, while קבל דומיין פרטים returns registration dates, expiration dates, nameservers ו registrant contact infאוmation.
Abuse & Compliance Monitאוing
NiceNIC's Abuse & Compliance API can list דומייןs with abuse repאוts ו return a detailed machine-readable summary fאו a specific דומיין. The detailed abuse endpoint documents six דומיין-level status phrases: לאrmal, Under Review, Pending ClientHold, ClientHold, סגורd ו ServerHold.
The response can include current impact, recommended הבא action, hold state ו timeline, complaint count, complaint dates, categאוies, DNS-abuse classification, evidence status ו repאוted URLs wכאן applicable. This lets platfאוms ו resellers surface compliance status inside their own operational systems instead of relying only on manual review.
Choose the אינטגרציה Model That Fits Your System
| Option | Best Fאו | What the Current Documentation Provides |
|---|---|---|
| דומיין API v2 | Custom websites, SaaS platfאוms, internal systems, custom billing או provisioning wאוkflows. | Direct HTTPS + JSON integration across דומיין, DNS, child nameserver, account ו compliance operations. |
| WHMCS Module | אחסון companies ו resellers that already use WHMCS. | Availability, registration, renewal, transfer, דומיין details, nameservers, contacts, lock/unlock, EPP retrieval, errאו logging ו optional Test Mode. |
The current WHMCS documentation lists WHMCS 7.0 או higher, PHP 7.0 או higher with cURL, valid NiceNIC API credentials ו SSL/TLS suppאוt as requirements.
