Domain Registration & Renewal API

Programmatic domain registration and renewal across thousands of TLDs — including ccTLDs with local presence requirements — is coming soon to the 101domain API. Built for corporate portfolio operations, resellers, and other technical or AI-powered users.

Coming soon. Registration and renewal endpoints aren't available yet. This page outlines what they'll do when they ship. In the meantime, you can already manage nameservers and pull complete domain data through the API today — see below.

Registering and renewing domains by hand doesn't scale. For a brand managing a large portfolio — or a reseller provisioning domains for customers — the registrar portal becomes the bottleneck. Programmatic registration and renewal will let you move at the speed of your own systems, with the registrar handling registry complexity behind the API.

What registration will do

Once it ships, you'll confirm availability through the search endpoints, then place a registration order via the API. Contact handles, terms, and TLD-specific requirements will be handled in the request. 

# Planned interface — illustrative, not yet available
POST /v1/domains/registration
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "domain": "example.com",
    "term_years": 1,
    "contacts": { "registrant": "CONTACT_HANDLE" }
}

ccTLDs often carry local presence or documentation requirements. The TLD lookup endpoints already return those requirements, so you can validate before ordering.

What renewal will do

Renewal endpoints will let you extend registration terms programmatically and manage auto-renew settings across your portfolio — so keeping critical domains active becomes part of your automated workflows rather than a manual calendar task.

  • Renew on demand — extend one domain or many in a single workflow.
  • Manage auto-renew — set or clear auto-renew across the portfolio.
  • Portfolio-scale — designed for hundreds or thousands of domains, not one at a time.

What you can already do today

You don't have to wait for registration and renewal to start automating. Two of the most common portfolio tasks are available now:

  • Change nameservers — update a domain's nameservers programmatically through the DNS Management API using the dns_write scope.
  • Pull complete domain & portfolio data — retrieve full domain details and portfolio listings today for reporting, audits, and dashboards.

For corporate portfolios, resellers, and AI-powered teams

Corporate teams will use programmatic registration and renewal to standardize and consolidate global portfolios under managed service. Resellers, developers, and other technical or AI-powered users will use the same endpoints to provision domains for their own customers at volume. Both get the same broad TLD catalog and the same team of domain experts handling registry requirements on their behalf.

  • Scoped API keys will keep registration permissions deliberate and separate from read access.
  • Thousands of TLDs, including specialty and ccTLD extensions most registrars don't carry.
  • Managed service and a team of domain experts behind the API for registry complexity, compliance, and support.
