Process

Renew Domain

The DomainRenew order type is used to start the domain prologation of the domain registration period. The previously determined due date is required in the order, e.g. to prevent an accidental double prolongation.

Checking and confirming Notifications

The order type DomainCancelationCreate creates a cancelation request. This triggers the creation of a second cancelation request, which is processed asynchronously at the time defined in the cancelation.
Once this second requst has been processed, a request notification is sent, indicating whether the deletion was successful or not.
You must call the notification with the PollInfo task. You must confirm the retrieval with the PollConfirm task.

For more details on asynchronous notifications, see :

JSON API: Asynchronous Notifications
XML API: Interface Documentation

Inquire Domain Data

After a successful renew, you can determine the new due date of the domain (payable field) with a DomainInfo request. Since the domain registration period in this example was extended by one year, the payable field has the new value 2021-12-31 00:00:00.

Request

GET /domain/example.com
