The GoDaddy API provides programmatic access to manage aspects of your GoDaddy domain and hosting services. Through Pipedream, you can automate domain availability checks, renewals, and DNS record management. This enables seamless integration of domain-related operations within your automated workflows, such as dynamically updating DNS records or triggering actions based on domain registration events.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
godaddy: {
type: "app",
app: "godaddy",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.godaddy.com/v1/domains/available`,
headers: {
"Authorization": `sso-key ${this.godaddy.$auth.api_key}:${this.godaddy.$auth.api_secret}`,
},
params: {
domain: `example.guru`,
},
})
},
})
Automated Domain Renewal Notifications: Create a workflow that triggers monthly to check the expiration status of your domains using the GoDaddy API. If a domain is approaching its expiration date, Pipedream can send an alert via email, SMS, or a Slack message, ensuring you never miss a renewal.
Dynamic DNS Update on IP Change: Set up a Pipedream workflow that listens for IP address change events from your ISP. On detecting a change, the workflow uses the GoDaddy API to automatically update the A record of your domain, thus maintaining your domain's access to the correct IP.
Domain Availability Monitoring for Brand Protection: Configure a Pipedream workflow to periodically check the availability of domains containing your brand through the GoDaddy API. If a desired domain becomes available or a potentially infringing domain is registered, the workflow can notify you or automatically initiate a domain purchase or dispute process.
GoDaddy uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your GoDaddy account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to GoDaddy APIs in both code and no-code steps.
