We offer two types of API for our Partners to choose from, one is the EPP Client API which is based on RFC 3375, while the other type is RAPI which is a series of HTTPS POST commands. Utilising either of these methods, Partners can implement their own real-time domain name operations within any website. Learn more about the differences between EPP and RAPI here.

EPP or RAPI are only available for use by Partners. To apply for EPP and RAPI access, here are the steps:

EPP:

1. Log into your partner account
2. Under Partner Tools, download the EPP Client Guide and the latest version of EPP Client Toolkit
3. We provide you a test environment for you to test your implementation
4. Once you are satisfied with your test implementation, you will be ready to connect to our production environment. Please fill in the IP Address Modification Form for EPP/RAPI and submit to us to allow your production servers to connect to our production environment.

RAPI:
