Reseller API

A simple JSON API for resellers. Use it from your own website or billing system — or skip the code and use our WHMCS registrar module.

Getting started

• Become a reseller and add account credit.
• In the client area, open Domain Reseller → API & integration and create your API key.
• Add your server’s IP address to the allow-list (recommended).

Endpoint & authentication

https://mywebmanager.co.za/index.php?r=api/reseller

Send a POST request with a JSON body and your key in the X-API-Key header (or Authorization: Bearer …). Every reply is JSON: {"success":true,"data":{…}} or {"success":false,"error":{"code":"…","message":"…"}}.

curl -s https://mywebmanager.co.za/index.php?r=api/reseller \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"action":"check","domains":["example.co.za","example.com"]}'

Registrant contact

Pass your client’s details as contact to make them the registrant: firstname, lastname, companyname, email, address1, address2, city, state, postcode, country (2-letter code) and phonenumber (e.g. +27.821234567). Leave it out to use your own account details.

Errors & limits

HTTP	Code	Meaning
400	invalid, unsupported, exists, unavailable	Something in the request needs fixing.
401	unauthorised	Missing or wrong API key.
402	insufficient_funds	Not enough credit (VAT included where it applies).
403	ip_not_allowed, forbidden	IP not on your allow-list, or API access is off.
404	not_found	That domain isn’t in your account.
429	rate_limited	Too many requests — the default limit is 120 per minute.

A pending status on register, transfer or renew means it’s paid for and our team is completing it — you won’t be charged twice.

WHMCS registrar module

Download the module from Domain Reseller → API & integration in our client area, upload the mywebdomains folder to /modules/registrars/, activate My Web Domains under System Settings → Domain Registrars and paste your API key. It supports registration, transfers, renewals, nameservers, locks, EPP codes, domain sync, availability lookups and Registrar TLD Sync.
