GitHub - SteveHanna/Namecheap-dot-net: A .NET wrapper for the Namecheap API

A .NET wrapper for the Namecheap API, with support for the NameCheap Sandbox.

Using the Library

To use the library you will need to enable API access on your NameCheap account, and retrieve:

• the username and apiUser -- these are both your NameCheap login
• the apiKey -- retrieve this from your profile after enabling API access
• your current public IP, or the IP of the machine you'll run the library from. Note that this IP has to be added to the access list in your NameCheap profile.

Sample Code

Check the availability of several domain names

var api = new NameCheapApi("{username}", "{apiUser}", "{apiKey}", "{clientIp}", isSandbox: false);

var domains = api.Domains.AreAvailable("google.com", "ANewDomainName");

foreach (var domain in domains)
    Console.WriteLine(domain.DomainName + ": " + domain.IsAvailable);

Set DNS host records for a given domain in the Sandbox

var api = new NameCheapApi("{username}", "{apiUser}", "{apiKey}", "{clientIp}", isSandbox: true);
 
api.Dns.SetHosts(
    new DnsHostsRequest
    {
        SLD = "YourDomainName",
        TLD = "com",
        HostEntries = new HostEntry[] { new HostEntry() { 
            Address = "192.168.1.1",
            HostName = "@",
            RecordType =  RecordType.A
        } }
    });

Developing

For development, it's highly recommeded to create an account on sandbox.namecheap.com and enable API access on your NameCheap sandbox account.
Also create a domain; to avoid conflict, create an UUID domain.

Then copy the namecheap-sandbox.json to your Documents folder on macOS and Windows, and to your $HOME directory on Linux, and change the file with the appropriate values from your sandbox account.

This should allow you to run the tests.
