2 things to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
- 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

GoDaddy domain and DNS management — registration, DNS records, transfers, SSL via REST API
SKILL.md
3.0 KB, as published. Nobody here has run it
GoDaddy Guide
Manage domains, DNS records, and SSL certificates through the GoDaddy API.
When this applies
- Checking domain availability or registration status
- Managing DNS records (A, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS)
- Transferring domains in or out
- Renewing or purchasing domains
- Managing SSL certificates
Auth
All requests use header: Authorization: sso-key {API_KEY}:{API_SECRET}. Test environment: api.ote-godaddy.com. Production: api.godaddy.com.
Essential Operations
Domain Lookup & Management
GET /v1/domains/available?domain=example.com— check availabilityGET /v1/domains— list owned domainsGET /v1/domains/{domain}— domain details (expiry, status, nameservers)POST /v1/domains/purchase— register a domainPOST /v1/domains/{domain}/renew— renew domainDELETE /v1/domains/{domain}— cancel domain
DNS Records
GET /v1/domains/{domain}/records— list all DNS recordsGET /v1/domains/{domain}/records/{type}— filter by type (A, CNAME, MX, TXT)GET /v1/domains/{domain}/records/{type}/{name}— specific recordPUT /v1/domains/{domain}/records— replace all recordsPATCH /v1/domains/{domain}/records— add recordsPUT /v1/domains/{domain}/records/{type}/{name}— update specific recordDELETE /v1/domains/{domain}/records/{type}/{name}— delete specific record
Domain Transfers
POST /v1/domains/{domain}/transfer— initiate inbound transferGET /v1/domains/{domain}/transfer— check transfer status
Agreements & Legal
GET /v1/domains/agreements?tlds=com&privacy=true— required agreements before purchase
Decision Rules
- If checking availability →
GET /v1/domains/availablefirst - If purchasing → fetch agreements with
GET /v1/domains/agreements, thenPOST /v1/domains/purchase - If updating DNS → use
PUT /v1/domains/{domain}/records/{type}/{name}for specific records, notPUT /v1/domains/{domain}/records(replaces ALL records) - If adding a record without affecting others → use
PATCH, notPUT - If verifying domain ownership (e.g., for SSL/email) → add TXT record via PATCH
Do
- Check domain availability before attempting purchase
- Use PATCH to add DNS records (preserves existing records)
- Verify DNS changes with a GET after updating
- Use the OTE environment (
api.ote-godaddy.com) for testing
Don't
- Use
PUT /v1/domains/{domain}/recordswithout confirmation (replaces ALL DNS records — can take down a live site) - Delete or cancel domains without user confirmation (irreversible)
- Purchase domains without fetching and presenting legal agreements first (required by GoDaddy)
- Hardcode API keys in requests (use env vars
