Note

You are viewing the documentation for an older version of boto (boto2).

Boto3, the next version of Boto, is now stable and recommended for general use. It can be used side-by-side with Boto in the same project, so it is easy to start using Boto3 in your existing projects as well as new projects. Going forward, API updates and all new feature work will be focused on Boto3.

For more information, see the documentation for boto3.

check_domain_availability(domain_name, idn_lang_code=None)

This operation checks the availability of one domain name. You can access this API without authenticating. Note that if the availability status of a domain is pending, you must submit another request to determine the availability of the domain name.

Parameters:domain_name (string) – The name of a domain.

Type: String

Default: None

Constraints: The domain name can contain only the letters a through z,
the numbers 0 through 9, and hyphen (-). Internationalized Domain Names are not supported.

Required: Yes

Parameters:idn_lang_code (string) – Reserved for future use.
disable_domain_transfer_lock(domain_name)

This operation removes the transfer lock on the domain (specifically the clientTransferProhibited status) to allow domain transfers. We recommend you refrain from performing this action unless you intend to transfer the domain to a different registrar. Successful submission returns an operation ID that you can use to track the progress and completion of the action. If the request is not completed successfully, the domain registrant will be notified by email.

Parameters:domain_name (string) – The name of a domain.

Constraints: The domain name can contain only the letters a through z,
the numbers 0 through 9, and hyphen (-). Internationalized Domain Names are not supported.

Required: Yes

enable_domain_transfer_lock(domain_name)

This operation sets the transfer lock on the domain (specifically the clientTransferProhibited status) to prevent domain transfers. Successful submission returns an operation ID that you can use to track the progress and completion of the action. If the request is not completed successfully, the domain registrant will be notified by email.

Parameters:domain_name (string) – The name of a domain.

Type: String

Default: None

Constraints: The domain name can contain only the letters a through z,
the numbers 0 through 9, and hyphen (-). Internationalized Domain Names are not supported.

list_domains(marker=None, max_items=None)

This operation returns all the domain names registered with Amazon Route 53 for the current AWS account.

Parameters:marker (string) – For an initial request for a list of domains, omit this element. If the number of domains that are associated with the current AWS account is greater than the value that you specified for MaxItems, you can use Marker to return additional domains.

request.

Required: No

list_operations(marker=None, max_items=None)

This operation returns the operation IDs of operations that are not yet complete.

Parameters:marker (string) – For an initial request for a list of operations, omit this element. If the number of operations that are not yet complete is greater than the value that you specified for MaxItems, you can use Marker to return additional operations. Get the value of NextPageMarker from the previous response, and submit another request that includes the value of NextPageMarker in the Marker element.

make_request(action, body)

Makes a request to the server, with stock multiple-retry logic.

register_domain(domain_name, duration_in_years, admin_contact, registrant_contact, tech_contact, idn_lang_code=None, auto_renew=None, privacy_protect_admin_contact=None, privacy_protect_registrant_contact=None, privacy_protect_tech_contact=None)

This operation registers a domain. Domains are registered by the AWS registrar partner, Gandi. For some top-level domains (TLDs), this operation requires extra parameters.

When you register a domain, Amazon Route 53 does the following:

  • Creates a Amazon Route 53 hosted zone that has the same name as the domain. Amazon Route 53 assigns four name servers to your hosted zone and automatically updates your domain registration with the names of these name servers.
  • Enables autorenew, so your domain registration will renew automatically each year. We’ll notify you in advance of the renewal date so you can choose whether to renew the registration.
  • Optionally enables privacy protection, so WHOIS queries return contact information for our registrar partner, Gandi, instead of the information you entered for registrant, admin, and tech contacts.
  • If registration is successful, returns an operation ID that you can use to track the progress and completion of the action. If the request is not completed successfully, the domain registrant is notified by email.
  • Charges your AWS account an amount based on the top-level domain. For more information, see `Amazon Route 53 Pricing`_.
Parameters:domain_name (string) – The name of a domain.

Type: String

Default: None

Constraints: The domain name can contain only the letters a through z,
the numbers 0 through 9, and hyphen (-). Internationalized Domain Names are not supported.

Required: Yes

Parameters:
  • idn_lang_code (string) – Reserved for future use.

retrieve_domain_auth_code(domain_name)

This operation returns the AuthCode for the domain. To transfer a domain to another registrar, you provide this value to the new registrar.

Parameters:domain_name (string) – The name of a domain.

Type: String

Default: None

Constraints: The domain name can contain only the letters a through z,
the numbers 0 through 9, and hyphen (-). Internationalized Domain Names are not supported.

This operation transfers a domain from another registrar to Amazon Route 53. Domains are registered by the AWS registrar, Gandi upon transfer.

To transfer a domain, you need to meet all the domain transfer criteria, including the following:

  • You must supply nameservers to transfer a domain.
  • You must disable the domain transfer lock (if any) before transferring the domain.
  • A minimum of 60 days must have elapsed since the domain’s registration or last transfer.

We recommend you use the Amazon Route 53 as the DNS service for your domain. You can create a hosted zone in Amazon Route 53 for your current domain before transferring your domain.

Note that upon transfer, the domain duration is extended for a year if not otherwise specified. Autorenew is enabled by default.

If the transfer is successful, this method returns an operation ID that you can use to track the progress and completion of the action. If the request is not completed successfully, the domain registrant will be notified by email.

Transferring domains charges your AWS account an amount based on the top-level domain. For more information, see `Amazon Route 53 Pricing`_.
