New NAMECHEAP API


sitewes

Recommended Posts

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

I believe the new namecheap API has gone live as planned by them but I have been told that the new version of the namecheap module *should* be included in 4.2 when it is released. I have therefore stopped using it for now. Hopefully it will be included in 4.2 and hopefully that will be released soon

any one know how we can use namecheap coupons in this api ? unnecessarily i am losing money :(

 

I was wondering the same as you, but for that we are going to have to pester Namecheap to put that functionality into their API.

But since they say they won't be upgrading their API going forward because WHMCS will support Namecheap directly, I'm not entirely sure...

 

It does seem rather daft that we use the API, but then get charged full rate regardless of any account discounts.

 

I'm wondering if WHMCS use a different API to make the calls to Namecheap so hopefully someone from WHMCS will confirm this for us.
