Overview

The node integrates with the Namecheap API to manage domain-related operations. Specifically, for the "Domain" resource and "Get Info" operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specified domain name. This is useful for users who want to programmatically check domain status, registration details, expiration dates, or other metadata associated with a domain.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically fetching domain info before performing renewals or updates.
  • Integrating domain status checks into workflows that monitor domain health or ownership.
  • Gathering domain data for reporting or auditing purposes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Name The domain name to operate on (e.g., example.com). This is a required string input specifying which domain's information to retrieve.

Output

The output JSON contains two main fields:

  • success: A boolean indicating whether the operation was successful (true) or not (false).
  • data: An object containing the detailed information returned by the Namecheap API about the requested domain. This typically includes registration details, status, expiry date, and other domain metadata.

If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain:

  • success: false
  • error: A message describing the failure reason.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Namecheap API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node depends on the Namecheap API being accessible and the provided domain name being valid and registered.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing domain name input will cause errors.
    • Network connectivity problems or invalid API credentials will prevent successful API calls.
    • Requesting info for a non-existent or unregistered domain may result in errors or empty data.

  • Error messages:

    • "The operation "getInfo" is not known for resource "domain"!" indicates a misconfiguration of the operation parameter.
    • API errors from Namecheap (e.g., authentication failures) will be passed through as error messages.

  • Resolutions:

    • Ensure the domain name is correctly formatted and exists.
    • Verify API credentials and network access.
    • Enable "Continue On Fail" to handle errors gracefully within workflows.
