  description: 'The GoDaddy Domain Lifecycle Management API provides comprehensive capabilities

    for discovering, registering, managing, renewing, transferring, and reselling

    domain names. This is major version 3, designed for agent-first interactions

    while remaining fully usable by direct API clients and resellers.


    ## Namespace


    All paths are under `/v3/domains/`. The namespace is `domains` (the business capability);

    the core entity collection is `/domain-names`.


    ## Key Conventions


    **Quote/execute for commercial operations.** Every commercial mutation (register,

    renew, transfer) requires a `quoteToken` minted by the corresponding quote

    collection endpoint. Execution without a prior quote is structurally impossible.

    The token locks the price, resolved settings, and required legal agreements for a

    10-minute TTL. Quote calls are free, read-only, and safe to call speculatively.


    **Async commercial operations.** `POST /registrations`, `POST /renewals`, and

    `POST /transfers` each return `202 Accepted` with the concrete entity body

    (`Registration`, `Renewal`, or `Transfer`) and a `Location` header. Poll

    `links[rel=self]` on the returned entity until status is `COMPLETED` or `FAILED`.

    Each concrete resource is also reachable via `GET /operations/{operationId}`;

    the `operationId` is included in the entity for clients that prefer the abstract

    view. Non-commercial mutations return a `DomainOperation` body.


    **Entity-oriented resource model.** Domains are the core entity of this API

    (exposed as `/domain-names` in the path to distinguish the resource collection

    from the `domains` namespace prefix). Register, renew, and transfer are

    commercial actions executed by `POST` to their corresponding top-level

    resource collections (`/registrations`, `/renewals`, `/transfers`); each

    accepts a prior quote and returns an async entity to poll until completion.

    For commercial execute calls, the target domain is

    expressed in the request body, not the path. Sub-resources (`contacts`,

    `nameservers`, `privacy`, `auto-renew`, `transfer-lock`, `records`) only exist

    in the context of a specific domain-name instance. The `/check-availability`

    controller carries no persistent identity.


    **Flat, two-level maximum.** No resource path goes deeper than

    `/{collection}/{id}/{sub-resource}` or `/{collection}/{id}/{sub-collection}/{id}`.


    **Reseller on-behalf-of.** Resellers pass `X-Shopper-Id`; all operations are

    then scoped to that shopper. Absent the header, the authenticated entity''s own

    account is used.


    ## Launch Scope (v3.0)

    Standard TLDs only. TLDs with eligibility requirements (.us, .ca, .eu) return

    `UNSUPPORTED_TLD` until Phase 2.'
