The ZA Domains Domain Management API allows you to build web, desktop and mobile applications that connect to your ZA Domains Account.
The API allows you to programmatically perform operations on the domain names within your account and objects linked to a domain, for example updating a registrant contact, changing name servers for a domain name, renewing a domain.
The ZA Domains API is built on .Net SOAP web services. All operational functionality consumed in the control panel is exposed via the API. Most methods consist of generic inputs which allows for minimal changes in the APIs contracts when requirements and inputs change. All methods return standard JSON responses.
