Use Namesilo Api In Laravel

Simple PHP SDK for registering domain names using Namesilo.com.

Dependencies

• php-xml package.

Install in Debian:

sudo aptitude install php7.0-xml

Quick start

Create an instance of the Namesilo class.

To receive a sandbox API key for testing, please contact namesilo.

#### create a Namesilo object with production key
$ns = new Namesilo('your api key');

#### create a Namesilo object with sandox key
$ns = new Namesilo('your api key',true);

#### turn Debugging on (if you want to fix an issue with this library)
$ns = new Namesilo('your api key',true,true);

#### Simple usage
try{
    $ns->is_domain_available('example.com');
}catch(Exception $e){
    #### print error message
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Debugging

To enable debugging edit namesilo.php provide a third argument to Namesilo() and set it to tre.

$ns = new Namesilo('your api key',true,true);

Once enabled, all functions (methods) print_r() their request and return value.

never turn debugging on in production.

Usage example

Retrieve the lock status for exmaple.com

try{
    $lock_status = $ns->lock_status('example.com');
}catch(Exception $e){
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
if($lock_status){
    echo 'domain is lock';
}else{
    echo 'domain is unlock';
}

List of methods

NOTE: make sure that you capture possible errors with a try {} catch {} as shown in the above examples.

• delete_contact(): useful for deleting a contact if registration fails
• register_domain_by_contact_id()
• register_domain(): create a new contact id and register domain at once (not recommended)
• update_nameservers()
• update_contact_by_domain()
• add_dns_record()
• get_dns_records(): returns an array of dns records
• delete_dns_record()

• list_domains()
• get_nameservers()
• privacy_status()
• add_privacy()
• remove_privacy()
• get_domain_info()
• get_account_balance()

Use this function to create a new contact-id and then use the contact-id retuned by this function to associate it with a new domain registration.

returns created contact id on success and false on failure.

$contact_id = $ns->create_contact(
      $fn, // first name
      $ln, // last name
      $ad, // address
      $cy, // city
      $st, // state

      $ct, // country
      $em, // email
      $ph  // phone
);

returns true on success and false on failure.

$result = $ns->register_domain_by_contact_id($domain,$contact_id,$years=1);

This function will automatically attemp to delete the contact if registration fails.

Default profile and profiles that are associated with any active domains cannot be deleted.

Create a new contact-id and register a domain for it at once. This method is not recommended.

returns true on success and false on failure.

$ns->register_domain(
      $domain, // example.com
      $fn, // first name
      $ln, // last name
      $ad, // address
      $cy, // city
      $st, // state
      $zp, // zip
      $ct, // country
      $em, // email
      $ph,  // phone
      $years = 1
);

returns true on success and false on failure.

$contact_id = $ns->update_contact_by_domain(
      $domain, // example.com
      $fn, // first name
      $ln, // last name
      $ad, // address
      $cy, // city
      $st, // state
      $zp, // zip
      $ct, // country
      $em, // email
      $ph  // phone
);

returns true on success and false on success and false on failure.

$result = $ns->update_nameservers('example.com','ns1.namesilo.com','ns2.namesilo.com');

• CNAME - The Target Hostname
• MX - The Target Hostname
• TXT - The Text

$distance: Only used for MX (default is 10 if not provided)

$ttl: The TTL for the new record (default is 7207 if not provided)

returns an array of records on success and false on failure.

$ns->get_dns_records($domain);

Sample print_r() of successfull return value:
