Changes to the NameCheap DNS API

The changes are primarily to namecheap.domains.create, namecheap.users.create methods and to the error numbers that were returned earlier. Error numbers returned for several API methods are changed and are now documented in the link below.

Changes to the API:
http://developer.namecheap.com/docs/doku.php?id=api-new-release:index

New error code documentation:
http://developer.namecheap.com/docs/doku.php?id=api-new-release:error-codes

Schedule for the update:
Jan 28, 2010 - To API sandbox (api.sandbox.namecheap.com)
Feb 15, 2010 - To production (api.namecheap.com)

NOTE: if you want to start making changes/ test today, new version of code is already available at http://test.api.sandbox.namecheap.com/. This end point will be removed after changes are moved to the proper sandbox URL.

WHMCS Plugin Customers:

Please note that the open source version of the plugin available at http://code.google.com/p/namecheap/ will not be updated anymore as WHMCS is providing their own official plugin for Namecheap. So, please pass this information on to WHMCS so that they can update the plugin.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Please post any question you may have in the new "Developer/ API Discussions" section of Namecheap Community Forums (
http://community.namecheap.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=17)
