Buy a domain

In the dashboard

1. Search

   Open /search and type a name. Results stream in as alternative TLDs and AI-suggested variants come back.

2. Pick a TLD

   Each result shows the year-1 price and renewal price. .com.au shows an eligibility hint if your org doesn’t have an ABN on file yet.

3. Add registry data

   For .au, paste your ABN. We verify it against the ABR before the registry call.

4. Confirm

   The cost debits your prepaid balance. If the balance is short and auto-top-up is on, your card is charged for the shortfall. The domain is live within seconds.

Via the API

# 1. Check availability
curl "https://api.domaingenius.com.au/api/v1/domains/availability?domain=hello-world.com.au" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DG_KEY"

# 2. Register
curl -X POST "https://api.domaingenius.com.au/api/v1/orgs/$DG_ORG/domains/hello-world.com.au/register" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DG_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"years": 2}'

For .au, include eligibility_id (from POST /v1/orgs/{org_oid}/contacts/eligibility) in the body.

Via MCP

Ask your assistant: “register hello-world.com.au under org Acme for 2 years”. It calls register_domains. If the cost exceeds your threshold the response is pending_confirmation — approve in the browser, then say “go ahead” so the assistant retries with the same request_id.
