It's kind of a pain managing large numbers of domains I've been very happy with DNSimple, which has an incredibly complete and very RESTful API. It supports registration, DNS, SSL certificates (purchasing and signing), transfers, email forwarding, white-label/vanity nameservers, portal users and domain-level access control, and a bunch of other stuff: https://dnsimple.com/documentation/api. Scroll down to Contents. Basically they treat the API as a first-class citizen. Their support has been a joy to interact with. It works with DitchDaddy to migrate from GoDaddy: https://github.com/jm/ditchdaddy. I've never used it. Troy -- https://papertrailapp.com/ -- logs made fun. ish.

Dynect has a RESTful API as well.

OpenSRS and Enom both have APIs. I've ben using OpenSRS's for ages. It's reasonably well documented and works. They do nearly all their business with resellers who typically host their own web sites and use the API to fill the orders, so the API is critical infrastructure for them. R's, John

It's kind of a pain managing large numbers of domains via klunky web interfaces. It sure would be nice to tie registry accounts into equipment inventory management systems. Check for a google(DNS EPP) for a lot of info on a standardized protocols, though typically a registrar will provide a custom interface. Many of the more established providers do this and it is more or less a requirement for DNSSEC to work. google(DNSSEC glue) and you get a list of providers who do DNSSEC and who likely also have an automated interface for this. As a note GPG + Joker seem to be the popular ones for this. Greets, Jeroen

OpenSRS and Enom both have APIs. It looks like NetSol does as well, but can't seem to find anything for GoDaddy (a shame, we have a lot of domains with them). Anybody know of a CMDB that integrates with OpenSRS or equivalent? Thanks again, Miles -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is. Yogi Berra
