Request Body
Request Body for renewing a domain
{
"term": "{term}",
"currentExpireDate": "{expireDate}"
}
Request Parameters
- term - integer
- Required. The number of years to add to the registration term. This amount must match one of the available cycles for renewing a domain. For example, if the pricing call shows that a domain has available cycles of 1 year, 5 and 10 this means a domain may not be renewed for 3 years, since that is not an available term for renewal. A domain cannot be renewed beyond its maximum registration term. Therefore if the max registration term is 10 years and a domain expires in 5 days, it cannot be renewed for 10 years, since this would mean the new term would be 10 years and 5 days into the future. Only a domain that is already expired can be renewed for its max registration term.
- expireDate - date
- The current expiration date of the domain is required to prove that the renewal request is unique and is not a duplicate renewal that has already been processed. If the given expireDate does not match the current expiration date of the domain, the renewal request is rejected. Use the domain info command to get the expireDate of the domains. The format for the date is yyyy-mm-dd
Response

If the registration term is not not a supported registration term for the domain, or if the expire date is in an invalid format. This error is also invoked if any of the required parameters are missing from the request.
- 403 - Not authorized
- The domain name does not belong in the account of the customer who is attempting to renew the domain. Only the account holder may renew the domain.
- 404 - Not found
