Domain Management API
We’ve just rolled out a new addition to our range of APIs for managing services: the Domain Management API. This new API allows you automate management of your Mythic Beasts domain registrations.
Access to the API is controlled by API keys, which can be managed in our customer control panel. As for our DNS API, the keys provide fine-grained control over access, allow you to grant permissions on individual domains, or all domains on your account, and to restrict a key’s access to specific actions.
Fine-grained access control
The API gives access to information about your domains, such as the expiry date, nameservers, and domain status.
At present, the API only supports a small number of actions, although we intend to expand this in the near future. At present, the following actions are supported:
- Setting nameservers
- Setting DS records
- Locking/unlocking domains (where supported)
The ability to set DS records makes it possible to automate DNSSEC key roll-over, although it’s worth noting that we offer a free managed DNSSEC service which takes care of this for you, so you’ll only need to use this if you particularly want to control your DS records yourself.
The API is currently in public beta, and documentation can be found on our support site. We’d very much welcome feedback on the API, including suggestions for operations that you’d like to see supported. If you have any feedback, please contact us on support@mythic-beasts.com.
