New LIVE environment (as of June 21, 2022)

As of June 21, 2022 there will be new IP addresses being utilized for following endpoints. The endpoints and ports remain unchanged.

Unencrypted access is not supported any more.

Weak TLS ciphers will be removed and only the following TLS ciphers will be supported:

• TLS 1.2
  • TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

• TLS 1.3
  • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

New OTE environment (as of March 21, 2022)

As of March 21, 2022 you have to use the following new endpoints and ports in order to access the OTE environment via APIs:

Unencrypted access is not supported any more (formerly ports 80, 8080 and 8081).

The new endpoints will support following TLS ciphers:

• TLS 1.2
  • TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
  • TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

• TLS 1.3
  • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
  • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
  • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

Supported TLDs in the new OTE environment

The following TLDs are supported in the new OTE environment: .asia, .at, .be, .biz, .ca, .ch, .club, .com, .co.za, .cz, .de, .es, .eu, .fr, .guru, .info, .it, .la, .net, .nl, .nz, .org, .pe, .ph, .photo, .pl, .se, .swiss, .uk, .xyz

EPP

HEXONET offers access to the domain-robot via a real EPP 1.0 (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) strict to RFC 4930-4933. EPP is the recommended RFC 4930-4933 communication-protocol between Domain-Registars and the respective Registries. With this EPP Implementation you now have access to hundreds of TLDs through one single protocol. In the event that you hold own accreditations then you now also have the possibility of managing your own accreditations through RegistrarOC and connect to them through EPP.

Download: EPP Manual with further information and EPP examples.
See also: EPP access using the Net::DRI perl library We also provide an EPP Demonstrator where you can easily execute EPP commands in our OT&E environment.

EPP Gateway Information

HTTP / HTTPS

Download: Domain_API_Reference.pdf

• The base url is https://api.ispapi.net/api/call.cgi
• The base url for OT&E (Testbed System) is: https://api-ote.ispapi.net/api/call.cgi?s_entity=1234
• High Performance Proxy Setup (using Apache2's proxy module)

Please note that your login credentials are different for the OT&E system, you can create an OT&E account with this form.

MAILROBOT

All API commands can be executed via email templates sent to [email protected]. [email protected] will also be the sender email address of HEXONET´s API call answers. To send emails to the API in OT&E mode, please use [email protected] as recipient address. Please note that you first have to create an OT&E account before you start with testing. Get your OT&E account now!

Download: SMTP-Gateway Your login credentials and the API command which should be executed has to be submitted in the message body. Further you can submit some kind of transaction ID in the subject line. The HEXONET system will pass this subject to the response email.

Example of an email to register a domain

 s_login = login.id
 s_pw = secret_password
 s_user = subuser.id
 
 [COMMAND]
 command = AddDomain
 domain  = reseller.com
 ownercontact0 = (CONTACT)
 admincontact0 = (CONTACT)
 techcontact0 = (CONTACT)
 billingcontact0 = (CONTACT)
 ...
 nameserver0 = ns1.yournameserver.com
 ...
 nameserver12 = ns13.yournameserver.com

SOAP/XMLRPC

SOAP-Gateway

This Realtime SOAP Gateway has been developed to provide an easy way to connect existing shopping cart and domain ordering systems to a user account of our system. The gateway consists of a SOAP server that accepts XML requests conforming to a defined syntax and converts them into API calls. All incoming SOAP requests are processed immediately and a XML response is generated and returned to the client.

Download: SOAP-Gateway manual
Download: XMLRPC-Gateway manual As we only offer two SOAP methods: ping for testing, xcall for XIRCA requests, we do not provide a public WSDL file. All XIRCA commands can be obtained in the respective manuals.

SOAP HTTPS (SSL) call parameters:

Server-/Proxy-URL LIVE system: "https://soap-api.hexonet.net:8082"
Server-/Proxy-URL OT&E system: "https://soap-api-ote.hexonet.net:8082"
Namespace/URI: "urn:Api"
available Methods: “echo” / “xcall”

The gateway consists of a XML-RPC server that accepts XML requests conforming to a defined syntax and converts them into API calls. All incoming XML-RPC requests are processed immediately and a XML response is generated and returned to the client.

XML-RPC HTTPS (SSL) call parameters:

Server-/Proxy-URL OT&E system: "https://xmlrpc-api-ote.hexonet.net:8083"

available Methods: “Api.echo” / “Api.xcall”
