Operations Overview
The Automaton uses the operations below to view and manipulate domains on your tag. Our object based data structure may allow you to apply an operation to a domain, account, contact or nameserver object directly.
Operation list
| Operation | Description |
|---|---|
| Create | The create operation is used to register a new domain name. |
| Delete | The delete operation is used to delete a domain name that was registered in error. |
| Fork | The fork operation allows a number of domain names on an account to be moved to a copy of that account. |
| List | The list operation is used to obtain a list of details of the domain names on your tag. |
| Lock | The lock operation can be used to lock down a domain name preventing further operations from being performed. |
| Merge | The merge operation allows a number of domain names to be consolidated onto a single account. |
| Modify | The modify operation is used to make changes to domains, accounts, contacts or name servers after registration. |
| Query | The query operation is used to obtain full details of a domain name, account, contact or nameserver registered on your tag. |
| Receive | The receive operation is used as part of the registrar change handshake mechanism to either accept or reject a domain moving onto your tag. |
| Release | The release operation is used to release control of a domain name on your tag to another tag. |
| Renew | The renew operation is used to renew a domain name. |
| Tag list | The Tag list operation is used to obtain a list of all tags that will accept tag changes. |
| Unlock | The unlock operation is used to reverse a locked domain name. |
| Unrenew | The unrenew operation is used to reverse a domain name renewal request. |
| Bulk | The bulk operation is used to carry out a bulk modification or query on some or all of the domain names on your tag. It uses a programmer-friendly syntax that gives you a high degree of control over those changes. |
