Build on SomDNS

Quickstart

Create an API token in Dashboard → Security → API keys, then talk to the API. Tokens are scoped per product and can be restricted by IP.

curl https://api.somdns.com/v1/domains \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SOMDNS_TOKEN"

DNS records

Anycast DNS is included with every domain. Changes propagate to all 14 edge nodes in under 30 seconds. These are the record types the resolver supports.

REST API

JSON over HTTPS, cursor paginated, rate limited to 600 requests per minute per token. Every mutating call accepts an Idempotency-Key header.

const res = await fetch(
  "https://api.somdns.com/v1/domains/ayaan.so/availability",
  { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` } }
);

const { available, price } = await res.json();
// -> { available: true, price: 15.00, currency: "USD" }

Domain transfers

Transfers add a full year to your registration at the transfer price. Most complete within an hour; gTLDs can take up to five days if the losing registrar delays approval.

1. 1Unlock the domain at your current registrar and disable WHOIS privacy.
2. 2Request the EPP / auth code — it is emailed to the registrant address.
3. 3Start the transfer in SomDNS and paste the code.
4. 4Approve the confirmation email. We copy your existing DNS records first, so nothing goes dark.
