API

Domain Registration

Domains can be registered with the API AddDomain command.

command = AddDomain
domain  = (DOMAIN)

REQUIRED

ownercontact0 = (CONTACT)
admincontact0 = (CONTACT)
techcontact0 = (CONTACT)
billingcontact0 = (CONTACT)
nameserver0 = (NAMESERVER)
nameserver1 = (NAMESERVER)

OPTIONAL

auth = <TEXT> | <NULL>
transferlock = 0 | 1 | <NULL>
subuser = <TEXT> | <NULL>
X-DISCLOSE = 0 | 1 (0 = select privacy option, 1 = turn off privacy option) 
X-REGISTRANT-DISCLOSE = 0 | 1  (0 = select privacy option, 1 = turn off privacy option) 
X-ADMIN-DISCLOSE = 0 | 1 (0 = select privacy option, 1 = turn off privacy option) 
X-TECH-DISCLOSE = 0 | 1 (0 = select privacy option, 1 = turn off privacy option) 

Additional information:

The optional x-disclose flags enable registrant to use WHOIS privacy feature, by enabling this feature, a .NZ domain registrant guarantees that they are an individual registrant and not using their .NZ domain(s) for significant trade. The X-DISCLOSE parameter applies privacy to all contacts, X-REGISTRANT-DISCLOSE parameter applies privacy to registrant contact only, X-ADMIN-DISCLOSE parameter applies privacy to admin contact only and X-TECH-DISCLOSE parameter applies privacy to tech contact only. The registrar contact is not subject to WHOIS privacy, if the registrar contact is similar to any of the above contact then there should be two contact handles one which applicable for WHOIS privacy and one that not subject to WHOIS privacy.

Generating a UDAI

In order to set a UDAI code (Unique Domain Authorisation ID) for your domain, please proceed as follows in the HEXONET Control Panel:

1. Unlock the domain (remove the transfer lock)
2. Wait a few minutes
3. go to Tools > API Library > ObjectLog and enter the domain.

The latest response will deliver the NEW UDAI. While using the API, after unlocking the domain, you will receive an Event from our system with the new UDAI code.

Expiring Authorization Codes

Please note that UDAIs may only be obtained from the current registrar of a domain name, and that they expire after 30 days.

Registering Reserved Second Level Domains

The .NZ Registry offers Registrants, who already own a .CO.NZ (NET.NZ / ORG.NZ ) domain the possibility to register the name-pendant under .NZ. Requirement is, that the .CO.NZ (NET.NZ / ORG.NZ ) is registered in HEXONET. If this is the case, you should submit a "transfer-request" for the corresponding .NZ domain, by providing the UDAI of the existing .CO.NZ (NET.NZ / ORG.NZ ) - Domain. If necessary, see above on how to obtain a UDAI for an existing domain.

The transfer may then be requested in the Control Panel or with the following API command using the new UDAI (AUTH) of the third-level domain:

COMMAND = Transferdomain
DOMAIN = example.nz
AUTH = ABCDE1234
PERIOD = 1
