Transfer Domain

http
POST /domains/transfer

Starts a transfer in, for one year, and charges the client’s credit balance. 400 when the name isn’t valid, its extension isn’t offered or has no transfer price, or it’s already in an account with us (whoever holds it can push it to you); 402 when the balance is too low (same body as Register Domain). If the registrar doesn’t accept the request straight away, the domain comes back pending instead of pending_transfer.

Parameters

Field Type Required Description
domain string Yes Domain name to transfer
epp_code string Yes EPP/auth code from current registrar
id_protection boolean No WHOIS privacy once it arrives. Default: on where the TLD offers it
