Registrar integration with the .np registry

Connecting

  • Production: TLS on TCP port 700 (RFC 5734 framing: 4-byte length prefix).
  • OT&E sandbox: a separate environment with its own credentials. Pass the OT&E test suite before production access is enabled.
  • Sessions time out after 15 minutes idle. Log in with your registrar ID and password.

Supported commands

Session
hello, login, logout, poll (req/ack)
Domain
check, info, create, update, renew, delete, transfer (request/approve/reject/cancel/query)
Contact
check, info, create, update, delete
Host
check, info, create, update, delete
Extensions
RGP / restore (RFC 3915)

Lifecycle

Grace periods follow RFC 3915: add 5 days, renew 5 days, transfer 5 days, auto-renew 45 days, redemption 30 days, pending delete 5 days. Domains under registry lock reject update, delete and transfer.
