typed in,
https://api.dynadot.com/api.html

nothings showing up in web browser, instead of "Page Load Error".

-The server at api.dynadot.com is taking too long to respond.

In firefox.

I saw this happened yesterday and today (April 30th)

You're right. It takes several hours to accept your IP!
It must be a manual process.

Also be sure to use IP on SERVER_ADDR and not REMOTE_ADDR.

What have confused me was the https://api.dynadot.com/api.html page not loading. One thing is to allow replies only from some IPs, other to deny complete server access based on IP.

No, The API is not dead that I know of. Dynadot would alert us via emails if this was true.

First error I find is that the Dynadot API needs to be configured properly in your settings to connect to the server. Look At: Account Area => Domains Tab => Advanced Settings => API -> Ip Address.

Make sure the right IP Address is there, double check with a site like: ipchicken.com

Next, it takes a bit of warming up. I find it common for 3-5 requests to go through unanswered (no server reply).

After these 10 - 15 seconds of warming up, The API kicks in right away saying: Success,, 1006644664 etc.. or not_available. etc..

Hope that helps!

So its official?

Dynadot API dead?

same issue here, ive tried from 3 different locations, one in the US, the api host doesnt respond to http or https
it does say beta but.. -> http://www.dynadot.com/domain/api.html

user_1510 is correct. I have just tried from 5 (FIVE) different servers and can't reach it. It pings ok.

wget https://api.dynadot.com

Any help?!

When you type that URL into your browser, you should see, "error,no key entered."

You might want to make sure that your Firewall isn't blocking connections with our API.
