We are sending this email to you as you have enabled API on your Namecheap account. This email describes some changes that are coming to Namecheap API that may break your existing code. So, please pay close attention to the changes and update your code as necessary.
The changes are primarily to namecheap.domains.create, namecheap.users.create methods and to the error numbers that were returned earlier. Error numbers returned for several API methods are changed and are now documented in the link below.
Changes to the API:
http://developer.namecheap.com/docs/doku.php?id=api-new-release:index
New error code documentation:
http://developer.namecheap.com/docs/doku.php?id=api-new-release:error-codes
Schedule for the update:
Jan 28, 2010 - To API sandbox (api.sandbox.namecheap.com)
Feb 15, 2010 - To production (api.namecheap.com)
NOTE: if you want to start making changes/ test today, new version of code is already available at http://test.api.sandbox.namecheap.com/. This end point will be removed after changes are moved to the proper sandbox URL.
WHMCS Plugin Customers:
Please note that the open source version of the plugin available at http://code.google.com/p/namecheap/ will not be updated anymore as WHMCS is providing their own official plugin for Namecheap. So, please pass this information on to WHMCS so that they can update the plugin.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please post any question you may have in the new "Developer/ API Discussions" section of Namecheap Community Forums (http://community.namecheap.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=17)
Thanks,
Namecheap Team
