Overview

The node integrates with the Namecheap API to perform various domain-related operations. Specifically, the "Get Pricing" operation under the "Domain" resource retrieves pricing information for a specified domain name. This is useful for users who want to check the cost of registering or renewing a domain before making a purchase decision.

Common scenarios include:

  • Checking domain registration prices for budgeting.
  • Comparing renewal costs for existing domains.
  • Automating domain management workflows that require price lookups.

Example: A user inputs "example.com" as the domain name and uses this operation to fetch current pricing details from Namecheap.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Name The domain name to operate on. For example, "example.com". This is required to get pricing information for that domain.

Output

The output JSON contains two main fields:

  • success: A boolean indicating whether the operation was successful (true) or not (false).
  • data: Contains the pricing information returned by the Namecheap API for the specified domain. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes registration and renewal prices, currency, and possibly other pricing details.

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.
  • Network access to Namecheap's API endpoints.
  • Proper configuration of the node with the necessary credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing domain name input will cause errors.
    • Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent API calls from succeeding.

  • Error messages:

    • "The operation "getPricing" is not known for resource "domain"!" — indicates a misconfiguration of the operation name.
    • API errors returned from Namecheap (e.g., invalid domain format, domain not supported) will be passed through in the error message.

  • Resolutions:

    • Ensure the domain name is correctly formatted and provided.
    • Verify API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
