CORE API integration
Sandbox + Production flow
Server-side token security
Idempotent purchases
Search & register Uses your backend routes: /api/domains/check + /api/domains/register

What you get

Minimal UI, high intent: everything above-the-fold is geared toward “find a domain” → “register it” with clear trust signals. The backend can optionally add post-purchase automation like DNS records, URL forwarding, or nameserver updates.

Instant availability Use POST /core/v1/domains:checkAvailability to confirm purchasable domains (max 50 per call).
Price confirmation Show pricing (and premium flags) before purchase; confirm purchasePrice server-side for premium domains.
Automated setup After purchase, set nameservers/DNS records so the customer can launch immediately.

How it works (recommended architecture)

Browser calls your Gravitas backend. Your backend calls name.com Core API with Basic Auth. This keeps tokens off the client and lets you enforce billing, fraud checks, idempotency keys, and audit logs.

Frontend expects: POST /api/domains/check → returns { domainName, purchasable, premium, purchasePrice }
POST /api/domains/register → returns { orderId, domainName, status }

FAQ

Why not call name.com directly from the browser?

Because you’d expose your API token. Keep name.com calls server-side, then return only safe data to the client.

Sandbox vs production?

Use api.dev.name.com with a username ending in -test for sandbox. Use api.name.com for production with your normal username and production token.

What about contact verification?

ICANN may require email verification for new contacts. Build a “verify contact” status view and webhook handling if your flow collects contact data.

Premium domains?

For premium/special-priced domains, confirm the exact price and pass it into the create-domain request to avoid surprise purchases.
