OnlineNIC, Inc. is an ICANN-accredited domain registrar (IANA ID 82) and wholesale reseller platform, operating since 1999, that sells domain names across roughly 400 TLDs, SSL/TLS certificates from DigiCert, GeoTrust, RapidSSL, Sectigo and Symantec, business email, reseller and cloud hosting, escrow and domain-privacy services. It publishes a partner-facing Reseller API — currently build 4.0.9 — that lets resellers register, renew, transfer and manage domains, manage contacts, nameservers and EPP auth codes, apply ID Shield registrant privacy, run Whois verification, and order, reissue, cancel and revoke SSL certificates. The API is an RPC surface over HTTPS with a JSON envelope; the contract is published only as a PDF reference guide, with no OpenAPI or other machine-readable description.
OnlineNIC publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Domains, Domain Registration, Registrar, DNS, and SSL Certificates.
OnlineNIC’s developer surface includes signup flow, pricing, support, engineering blog, authentication, changelog, sandbox, and 18 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Education & Research regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/onlinenic: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
