Namecheap Domains

Namecheap 域名管理

Skill for managing domains through the Namecheap API. Covers domain registration, DNS configuration, nameserver management, and domain transfers.
These methods work only for domains registered with Namecheap that are present in the user's account.
通过Namecheap API管理域名的Skill。涵盖域名注册、DNS配置、域名服务器管理以及域名转移。
这些方法仅适用于用户账户中已注册的Namecheap域名。

Prerequisites

前提条件

The user needs these credentials configured as environment variables:
VariableDescription
NAMECHEAP_API_USER
API username
NAMECHEAP_API_KEY
API key from Namecheap account
NAMECHEAP_USERNAME
Namecheap account username (usually same as API user)
NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP
Whitelisted IP address for API access
If any are missing, ask the user to set them. API access must be enabled in the Namecheap account dashboard and the client IP must be whitelisted.
用户需要将以下凭据配置为环境变量：
变量描述
NAMECHEAP_API_USER
API用户名
NAMECHEAP_API_KEY
来自Namecheap账户的API密钥
NAMECHEAP_USERNAME
Namecheap账户用户名（通常与API用户相同）
NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP
用于API访问的白名单IP地址
如果缺少任何一项，请要求用户进行设置。必须在Namecheap账户控制台中启用API访问权限，且客户端IP必须加入白名单。

API Basics

API基础信息

Base URL: 
https://api.namecheap.com/xml.response
Sandbox URL: 
https://api.sandbox.namecheap.com/xml.response
Every request requires these global parameters:
ParameterDescription
ApiUser
Username required to access the API
ApiKey
API key
UserName
Account username (use ApiUser if managing own account)
ClientIp
Whitelisted IP address
Command
API command to run (e.g., 
namecheap.domains.getList
)
基础URL： 
https://api.namecheap.com/xml.response
沙箱URL： 
https://api.sandbox.namecheap.com/xml.response
每个请求都需要以下全局参数：
参数描述
ApiUser
访问API所需的用户名
ApiKey
API密钥
UserName
账户用户名（管理自己账户时使用ApiUser即可）
ClientIp
白名单IP地址
Command
要执行的API命令（例如：
namecheap.domains.getList
）

Making requests

发起请求

Use HTTP GET for read operations and HTTP POST for write operations (especially 
domains.create
due to the large number of parameters).
bash
undefined
读取操作使用HTTP GET，写入操作使用HTTP POST（尤其是
domains.create
，因为参数较多）。
bash
undefined

GET example — list domains

GET example — list domains

curl -s "https://api.namecheap.com/xml.response?\ ApiUser=${NAMECHEAP_API_USER}&
ApiKey=${NAMECHEAP_API_KEY}&
UserName=${NAMECHEAP_USERNAME}&
ClientIp=${NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP}&
Command=namecheap.domains.getList"

```bash
curl -s "https://api.namecheap.com/xml.response?\ ApiUser=${NAMECHEAP_API_USER}&
ApiKey=${NAMECHEAP_API_KEY}&
UserName=${NAMECHEAP_USERNAME}&
ClientIp=${NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP}&
Command=namecheap.domains.getList"

```bash

POST example — create domain

POST example — create domain

curl -s -X POST "https://api.namecheap.com/xml.response"
-d "ApiUser=${NAMECHEAP_API_USER}"
-d "ApiKey=${NAMECHEAP_API_KEY}"
-d "UserName=${NAMECHEAP_USERNAME}"
-d "ClientIp=${NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP}"
-d "Command=namecheap.domains.create"
-d "DomainName=example.com"
-d "Years=1" \

... additional parameters

undefined
curl -s -X POST "https://api.namecheap.com/xml.response"
-d "ApiUser=${NAMECHEAP_API_USER}"
-d "ApiKey=${NAMECHEAP_API_KEY}"
-d "UserName=${NAMECHEAP_USERNAME}"

Parsing XML responses

解析XML响应

All responses are XML. Check the 
Status
attribute on 
ApiResponse
:
xml
<ApiResponse Status="OK">    <!-- Success -->
<ApiResponse Status="ERROR"> <!-- Failure — check <Errors> -->
Use 
xmllint
to extract values:
bash
undefined
所有响应均为XML格式。检查
ApiResponse
的
Status
属性：
xml
<ApiResponse Status="OK">    <!-- Success -->
<ApiResponse Status="ERROR"> <!-- Failure — check <Errors> -->
使用
xmllint
提取值：
bash
undefined

Check response status

Check response status

echo "$response" | xmllint --xpath "string(//ApiResponse/@Status)" -
echo "$response" | xmllint --xpath "string(//ApiResponse/@Status)" -

Extract error messages

Extract error messages

echo "$response" | xmllint --xpath "//Errors/Error/text()" - 2>/dev/null
echo "$response" | xmllint --xpath "//Errors/Error/text()" - 2>/dev/null

Extract specific attributes

Extract specific attributes

echo "$response" | xmllint --xpath "string(//DomainCreateResult/@Registered)" -

If `xmllint` is not available, use `grep` and `sed` for basic extraction, or Python's `xml.etree.ElementTree`.
echo "$response" | xmllint --xpath "string(//DomainCreateResult/@Registered)" -

如果没有`xmllint`，可以使用`grep`和`sed`进行基础提取，或者使用Python的`xml.etree.ElementTree`。

Important Notes

Important Notes

  • SLD/TLD splitting: Many endpoints require 
    SLD
    and 
    TLD
    as separate parameters. For 
    example.com
    , SLD=
    example
    and TLD=
    com
    . For 
    example.co.uk
    , SLD=
    example
    and TLD=
    co.uk
    .
  • Phone format: Always use 
    +NNN.NNNNNNNNNN
    (e.g., 
    +1.4155551234
    ).
  • IDN domains: Send the domain name in Punycode format (e.g., 
    xn--sdkhjsdhfkdh.com
    ) and include the 
    IdnCode
    parameter.
  • Premium domains: Set 
    IsPremiumDomain=True
    and provide 
    PremiumPrice
    and optionally 
    EapFee
    .
  • Rate limiting: Namecheap may throttle requests. If you receive errors, wait before retrying.
  • Sandbox: Use the sandbox URL for testing. Sandbox credentials are separate from production.

Error Handling

Error Handling

Common error patterns in the XML response:
xml
<ApiResponse Status="ERROR">
  <Errors>
    <Error Number="2016166">Domain is not associated with your account</Error>
  </Errors>
</ApiResponse>
Always check 
Status="OK"
before processing results. If 
Status="ERROR"
:
  1. Extract the error number and message
  2. Check the error codes listed in the relevant reference file
  3. Common issues:
    • Authentication errors: Verify credentials and whitelisted IP
    • Domain not found (2019166): Check domain name and account association
    • Invalid phone (2015182): Use format 
      +NNN.NNNNNNNNNN
    • Domain not available (3019166/4019166): Domain already registered
    • TLD not supported (2030280): Check supported TLDs

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

Error: Connection refused or timeout Cause: Client IP not whitelisted or API access not enabled. Solution: Check Namecheap dashboard → Profile → Tools → API Access. Verify the IP matches 
NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP
.
Error: Empty or malformed response Cause: Missing required parameters. Solution: Verify all global parameters are present. Check that 
Command
value is spelled correctly.
Error: DNS changes not taking effect Cause: Domain may be using custom nameservers instead of Namecheap default. Solution: Call 
domains.dns.setDefault
first, then set host records. URL forwarding, email forwarding, and dynamic DNS only work with Namecheap default nameservers.
