API commands

Please find in the following a set of the most commonly used standard API commands in order to register, modify, renew, and transfer a domain name.

Domain Registration

command = AddDomain
domain = yourdomain.bz.it
period                  = (INT)
ownercontact0   = (CONTACT)
admincontact0   = (CONTACT)
techcontact0    = (CONTACT)
billingcontact0 = (CONTACT)
nameserver0	= (NAMESERVER)
nameserver1 	= (NAMESERVER)
X-IT-SECT3-LIABILITY                      = 1
X-IT-SECT5-PERSONAL-DATA-FOR-REGISTRATION = 1
X-IT-SECT6-PERSONAL-DATA-FOR-DIFFUSION    = 1
X-IT-SECT7-EXPLICIT-ACCEPTANCE            = 1
X-IT-ENTITY-TYPE                        = 1-7 (not necessary if X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 1)
X-IT-PIN                 = (TEXT)(not necessary if X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 1)
X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC                   = 0|1
X-IT-CONSENTFORPUBLISHING	= 0|1
auth                                      = (TEXT)

The owner contact of the domain registration must be inside the European Union(or any of the allowed countries; for details see tab "Restrictions"). If there is no eligible contact available you can use our Trustee Service(X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 1) which offers such a contact. If you are choosing the trustee solution, then the registration will NOT be processed in realtime because of the verification procedure of our Trustee Service, which can take up to 3 days.

  • Due to changes in the registration policy, X-IT-CONSENTFORPUBLISHING = 0 is only allowed, if X-IT-ENTITY-TYPE = 1
    • X-IT-CONSENTFORPUBLISHING = 0 will be used by default for X-IT-ENTITY-TYPE = 1; for all other entity types(2-7) it is mandatory to explicitly submit X-IT-CONSENTFORPUBLISHING = 1

Domain Modification

(API Command reference » ModifyDomain)
Standard command
command = ModifyDomain
domain  = yourdomain.bz.it

Owner and admin contact cannot be changed at the same time. Please first change the owner and then admin contact in a second ModifyDomain command.

auth                                      = (TEXT)

  • X-IT-SECT5-PERSONAL-DATA-FOR-REGISTRATION = 1
  • X-IT-SECT6-PERSONAL-DATA-FOR-DIFFUSION = 1
  • X-IT-SECT7-EXPLICIT-ACCEPTANCE = 1

additionally to the registrant related extensions(not necessary if X-IT-ACCEPT-TRUSTEE-TAC = 1):

  • X-IT-ENTITY-TYPE = 1-7
  • X-IT-PIN = (TEXT)
  • X-IT-CONSENTFORPUBLISHING = 0|1 while 0 is only allowed for X-IT-ENTITY-TYPE = 1

Domain Renewal

RenewDomain is not available for .bz.it TLDs.

As .bz.it domains can only be registered on a yearly basis, they cannot be renewed explicitly. To renew a .bz.it domain you have to set the domain renewal mode or default renewal mode to AUTORENEW or RENEWONCE.

Domain Deletion

(API Command reference » DeleteDomain)
Command
COMMAND = DeleteDomain
DOMAIN = yourdomain.bz.it

Domain Transfer

(API Command reference » TransferDomain)
Standard command
command = TransferDomain
domain = yourdomain.bz.it
action = REQUEST

  • A .bz.it domain transfer has to be initiated with a so-called authorisation code, which can be obtained from the current registrar through the owner or Admin-C of the domain.
  • The losing registrar has 5 days to approve and/or reject the transfer request. At the end of the pendingTransfer period, requests that have not been explicitly cancelled, rejected or approved are approved automatically by the registry.
