Installation

pip install domainrobot

Quick start

from domainrobot import Domainrobot

with Domainrobot(username="user", password="pass", context=4) as client:
    # list all domains
    result = client.domain.list()
    for domain in result.data:
        print(domain.name, domain.expire, domain.registryStatus)

ownerc	dict	The owner contact.
adminc	dict	The administrative contact.
techc	dict	The technical contact reference.
nameServers	list[dict]	The nameservers.
comment	str	A custom field. Can only be updated via PUT /domain/{name}/_comment. Requires appropriate ACLs.

result = client.domain.list(
    {"filters": [{"key": "name", "value": "*.com", "operator": "LIKE"}]},
    keys=["status", "expire"],
)
for domain in result.data:
    print(f"{domain.name}  expires={domain.expire}  status={domain.registryStatus}")

Domain operations

# register (async - returns Job)
job_result = client.domain.create({
    "name": "example.com",
    "ownerc": {"id": 1},
    "adminc": {"id": 1},
    "techc": {"id": 1},
})
print(job_result.data[0].status)  # "RUNNING"

# get info (returns Domain)
result = client.domain.info("example.com")
print(result.data[0].authinfo)

# transfer
client.domain.transfer({"name": "example.com", "authinfo": "secret"})

# cancelation
client.domain.cancelation_create("example.com", {"type": "DELETE", "execution": "EXPIRE"})

Contact

# create (returns Contact)
result = client.contact.create({
    "type": "PERSON",
    "fname": "John",
    "lname": "Doe",
    "email": "john@example.com",
    "country": "DE",

    "pcode": "80333",
    "address": ["Marienplatz 1"],
    "phone": "+49-89-12345",
})
print(result.data[0].id)  # contact ID

# update
client.contact.update(result.data[0].id, {"fname": "Jane"})

Certificate

# prepare order (returns CertificateData)
prep = client.certificate.prepare_order({"plain": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----\n..."})

# order (async - returns Job)
client.certificate.create({
    "product": "BASIC_SSL",
    "csr": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----\n...",
    "adminContact": {"id": 1},
    "technicalContact": {"id": 1},
})

# get info (returns Certificate)
result = client.certificate.info(456)
print(result.data[0].serialNumber)

Zone

# create (returns Zone)
client.zone.create({
    "origin": "example.com",
    "soa": {"email": "admin@example.com", "refresh": 43200, "retry": 7200, "expire": 1209600, "ttl": 86400},
    "main": {"address": "1.2.3.4"},
})

# stream update - add/remove records (returns Zone)
result = client.zone.stream("example.com", {
    "adds": [{"name": "www", "type": "A", "value": "1.2.3.4", "ttl": 3600}],
    "rems": [],
})
print(result.data[0].resourceRecords)

Error handling

from domainrobot import DomainrobotApiError, DomainrobotTransportError

try:
    client.domain.info("nonexistent.example")
except DomainrobotApiError as e:
    print(f"API error {e.status_code}: {e}")
    print(e.messages)
except DomainrobotTransportError as e:
    print(f"Connection error: {e}")

Custom headers

Every method accepts an optional headers parameter:

client.domain.info("example.com", headers={"X-Domainrobot-Demo": "true"})
