1

Create an API key

Log in to the NameGrid dashboard and navigate to Settings → API tokens to generate your key. Copy it — it’s only shown once.
2

Check domain availability

Send a POST /v1/domains/check request with your target domain names to see what’s available.
3

Register your domain

Call POST /v1/domains with your chosen domain, contact details, and credit balance to complete the registration.
The base URL for all API requests is https://api.namegrid.org/v1. See the API Reference overview for full details on authentication and error handling.
