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

(API Command reference » AddDomain)

After a successful registration of the domain, it will be transfer locked from the registry for a period of 60 days.

Activation of the self-service in order to use own name servers

domain          = yourdomain.feedback
period          = (INT)
ownercontact0   = (CONTACT)
admincontact0   = (CONTACT)
techcontact0    = (CONTACT)
billingcontact0 = (CONTACT)

Deactivation of the self-service in order to use the name server of the registry platform

Domain Modification

(API Command reference » ModifyDomain)
Command
command = ModifyDomain
domain  = yourdomain.feedback

Domain Renewal

(API Command reference » RenewDomain)
Command
command    = RenewDomain
domain     = yourdomain.feedback
period     = (INT)
expiration = (INT)
  • By choosing 'Self-Service' for your .feedback domain, your domain will renew at a higher price. This means if you like to use own nameservers the price is increased.

Domain Deletion

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

Domain Transfer

(API Command reference » TransferDomain)
Command
command = TransferDomain
domain = yourdomain.feedback
action = REQUEST
auth = (TEXT)

Transfer procedure

  • The transfer is submitted to the registry and the losing registrar is automatically notified by them.
  • The losing registrar sends an email to the owner (and optionally admin) contact, informing about the transfer; this may include options to approve and/or deny the transfer. If neither explicitly approved nor denied, the transfer will be automatically finalized after 5 days.

Transfer notes

  • A .feedback domain transfer must be initiated with a so-called authorisation code, (auth-code) which can be obtained from the current registrar through the owner/admin contact of the domain.
  • Ensure that your respective domain does not have a lock-status (clientTransferProhibited and/or serverTransferProhibited). This can be seen in WHOIS.
  • If the domain has a client-side transfer lock, the owner can ask the current registrar to have the lock removed.

These procedures only apply for domain transfers between registrars. For internal transfers between resellers, please consult our documentation about internal transfers/usertransfers.

Auth-Codes

The format for auth info requires a minimum length of 8 characters and a maximum length of 32 characters.

Additionally, auth info must contain at least one of each of the following three character types:

  • Alphabetic characters: a-z; A-Z
  • Numeric characters: 0-9
  • Special characters: !;<=$%?&@[()]*^+-,'-{.|/}:~

Domain Restore

(API Command reference » RestoreDomain)
Command
command = RestoreDomain
domain  = yourdomain.feedback

Domain Extensions

X-FEEDBACK-SELFSERVICE0|1

Activate or deactivate self service for name servers; while deactivate the registries default setup will be in use

Domain Restrictions

  • If a domain is on the Protected Names List, you have to request an authcode prior to the main registration request. This can only be done on the following website http://activate.your.feedback/
  • By default, all .feedback domain names resolve to the .feedback value-added platform. This platform is a SaaS solution (Software as a Service) for sharing and receiving reviews from customers. This is the case, irrespective of the DNS servers added to the domain by the registrant. All standard registrations under .feedback will be delegated to E.NIC.feedback and F.NIC.feedback. It is possible to configure a .feedback domain name so that it is delegated in the DNS to the provided name servers; these domains are called "self‐service" domains. This modification is liable for costs!

Supported IDN Scripts

The following IDN scripts are supported by .feedback.
Provide the LANGUAGE TAG corresponding to your desired IDN within the AddDomain command as X-IDN-LANGUAGE extension.
