Namecheap
To use this provider, add an entry to
creds.json with TYPE set to NAMECHEAP along with your Namecheap API username and key:Example:
creds.json
{
"namecheap": {
"TYPE": "NAMECHEAP",
"apikey": "yourApiKeyFromNameCheap",
"apiuser": "yourUsername"
}
}
You can optionally specify BaseURL to use a different endpoint - typically the sandbox:
creds.json
{
"namecheapSandbox": {
"TYPE": "NAMECHEAP",
"apikey": "yourApiKeyFromNameCheap",
"apiuser": "yourUsername",
"BaseURL": "https://api.sandbox.namecheap.com/xml.response"
}
}
if BaseURL is omitted, the production namecheap URL is assumed.
This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to Namecheap.
An example configuration:
dnsconfig.js
var REG_NAMECHEAP = NewRegistrar("namecheap");
var DSP_BIND = NewDnsProvider("bind");
D("example.com", REG_NAMECHEAP, DnsProvider(DSP_BIND),
A("test", "1.2.3.4")
);
Namecheap provides custom redirect records URL, URL301, and FRAME. These records can be used like any other record:
dnsconfig.js
var REG_NAMECHEAP = NewRegistrar("namecheap");
var DSP_NAMECHEAP = NewDnsProvider("namecheap");
D("example.com", REG_NAMECHEAP, DnsProvider(DSP_NAMECHEAP),
URL("@", "http://example.com/"),
URL("www", "http://example.com/"),
URL301("backup", "http://backup.example.com/")
)
In order to activate API functionality on your Namecheap account, you must enable it for your account and wait for their review process. More information on enabling API access is located here.
