Domains
One name. Several important states.

Domain integrations span discovery, seller portfolio management, holds, purchases, registrar operations, and transfers. An API may support one of those jobs without supporting all the others. This collection is organized around the complete workflow rather than the mere existence of a developer portal.

Begin with the marketplace guide to model the difference between a domain and a provider’s listing. Follow the linked Afternic, Sedo, Atom, and Spaceship pages for their official information routes and capability boundaries. For expiring names, the related dropcatch guide adds registry observations, service deadlines, capture outcomes, and allocation. Across both routes, the useful record is the one that preserves identity, approval, price meaning, and evidence of the final handoff.
