It's no secret that we are big fans of eNom. Recently we needed to do an audit of our registrations and of the DNS records we had entered for them. No small task as we manage over 100 domains. As luck would have there is a simple way to proceed - the eNom API.
Our Basic Operation
Quite a simple two step process:
- Get List of Domains
- Get Host Records for each Domain
A quick PHP script to call these two APIs, one in a loop. Here's a sample snip:
$uri = 'http://reseller.enom.com/interface.asp?uid=XX&pw=XX';
$buf = `curl '$uri&command=getdomains'`;
$set = extract_domains($buf);
foreach ($set as $dom) {
$tld = $dom[0];
$sld = $dom[1];
$xbuf = `curl '$uri&command=gethosts&tld=$tld&sld=$sld'`;
echo extract_hosts($xbuf);
}
And with that, detailed host information from all of the domains we manage were dumped and the audit was completed in under 30m.

hi im using enom api to register a domain
i used purchase command but it take too much time to get the response , i may be processing multiple domain. i used add bulk domains and insertneworder its working preety fine , only problem i found is i cant enter the contact ,admin details whilr procession the domains, so is there any method to process domain registertration in less time.
The purchase command takes the time because eNom must make many checks within the global registry. This process takes time, even direct through their web site the purchase takes more than a few seconds.
