GoDaddy launches developer platform for domain management via APIs
GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY) announced the launch of its GoDaddy Developer Platform, a toolset that allows developers and AI agents to search, register, and configure domains without leaving their development environment, according to a company press release.
The platform includes new domain APIs offering programmatic access to domain search, availability checks, account-specific pricing, purchase, DNS configuration, and domain management. It also features OAuth-based authentication, a new command-line interface, and a rebuilt developer portal with documentation and guided onboarding.
The platform includes built-in scoped permissions and requires explicit price confirmation before purchases, as well as confirmation steps for irreversible actions.
"AI is fundamentally changing how software is created and the infrastructure behind the internet has to evolve with it," said Travis Muhlestein, chief technology officer of product AI at GoDaddy. "Our Developer Platform now connects GoDaddy domain services directly into developer tools, giving our customers, whether they have one domain or thousands, the ability to complete the entire domain lifecycle."
The platform is available at no cost to users globally. Existing customers using GoDaddy's legacy APIs can continue using those without disruption or switch to the new beta version. GoDaddy said future phases may include investor workflows, aftermarket APIs, bulk operations, and reseller tooling.
