Overview#

The Namecheap API provides a suite of functions to automate domain management tasks, enabling you to register, configure, and manage domains programmatically. With Pipedream's integration, you can create workflows that react to specific events or schedule domain-related operations, streamlining processes like domain registration, DNS management, and domain renewal reminders. By leveraging Pipedream's serverless platform, you can connect the Namecheap API with other services, set up cron jobs, and handle webhooks to create custom, automated workflows.

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    namecheap: {
      type: "app",
      app: "namecheap",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.sandbox.namecheap.com/xml.response`,
      params: {
        ApiUser: `${this.namecheap.$auth.username}`,
        ApiKey: `${this.namecheap.$auth.api_key}`,
        UserName: `${this.namecheap.$auth.username}`,
        Command: `namecheap.users.getBalances`,
        ClientIp: `34.201.71.54`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Example Use Cases#

Automated Domain Registration: Automate the process of searching for available domains and registering them through Namecheap as soon as they become available. Combine this with a Slack alert to notify your team in real-time when new domains are registered.
DNS Management Automation: Simplify DNS updates by creating a workflow that listens for webhooks from your application or another service, then automatically applies those changes to your Namecheap DNS records, ensuring your domain's DNS settings are always in sync with your current infrastructure.
Domain Renewal Reminder System: Set up a scheduled workflow to check the expiry dates of your domains and send reminders via email or SMS using Twilio. This way, you never miss out on renewing important domains and can keep your online presence uninterrupted.

Authentication#

Name Slug: namecheap

Namecheap uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Namecheap account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Namecheap APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Namecheap requires their users enter their Namecheap username in order to connect to their API. For more info, refer to Namecheap’s documentation.

To retrieve your API key,

Navigate to your Namecheap and sign in
Go to “Profile” > “Tools” > “Business & Dev Tools”
Click “Profile” under “Namecheap API Access”
