Contact data

Contact data for a domain can be specified by two different means: using a ContactID previously entered in the system, or specifying all the information about the contact when registering or transferring a domain.

Using the ContactID field

Whenever you need to specify contact information for a domain, you can use the ID of a contact previously created in your account.

A ContactID has the format XXX-00000, with varying length. You can obtain this ID either from the DonDominio/MrDomain control panel (accessing a domain in your account and then clicking in Contacts) or from the Accounts module, using the list command.

For example, when creating a domain you can specify the ContactID like this:

$dondominio = new DonDominioAPI(array(
	'apiuser' => '00000-XXX',
	'apipasswd' => 'XXXXXXXXXXXX'
));

//Creating a domain
$response = $dondominio->domain_create(
	'example.com',
	array(
		'ownerContactID' => 'XXX-23423'
	)
);

The API will automatically recognise and use the corresponding contact information.

Specifying the full contact information

Or, you can specify the full list of contact information.

There are four types of contacts: owner, administrative, technical and billing.

Heads up!

When using the full contact information, do not add a ContactID field. Otherwise, all of the contact information provided will be ignored.

To specify the contact information, add the following parameters to the API call:

Parameter	Type	Description
ownerContactType	string	Type of contact Can be individual or organization
ownerContactFirstName	string	First name
ownerContactLastName	string	Last name
ownerContactOrgName	string	Organization name Required when ownerContactType = 'organization' ; otherwise ignored
ownerContactOrgType	string	Type of organization in Spain Required when ownerContactType = 'organization' and ownerCountry = 'ES'. See the spanish juridic type codes table for more information.
ownerContactIdentNumber	string	Fiscal identification number (VAT number or equivalent)
ownerContactEmail	string	Contact's email address
ownerContactPhone	string	Contact's phone number
ownerContactFax	string	Contact's fax number Optional
ownerContactAddress	string	Postal address
ownerContactPostalCode	string	Postal code
ownerContactCity	string	City
ownerContactState	string	State or province
ownerContactCountry	string	Country Use the corresponding country code

To specify administrative, technical, and billing contacts, replace the owner part of each field with admin, tech, or billing.
