How to generate credentials in GoDaddy
- 1 Go to developer.godaddy.com and sign in with your GoDaddy account.
- 2 Click API Keys and then Create New API Key.
- 3 Select Production as the environment (not Test).
- 4 Copy the API Key and API Secret — they are shown once.
- 5 Paste both into Domainion's credential form.
How to connect credentials in Domainion
- 1 Sign in to Domainion and go to Registrars in the left sidebar.
- 2 Find the GoDaddy card and click Configure.
- 3 Fill in the credential fields and click Save Credentials.
- 4 Click Sync Domains to import your domains immediately, or wait for the next automatic daily sync.
Sync behaviour
Domainion syncs your domain list from GoDaddy once per day automatically. You can also trigger a manual sync at any time from the Registrars page.
Each sync imports your domain names, expiry dates, and auto-renew status.
Auto-renew: You can toggle auto-renew for each domain directly in Domainion. Changes are sent to GoDaddy immediately.
Troubleshooting
- No domains returned after sync
- Verify you created a Production API key. Test environment keys return empty domain lists even when your account has domains.
- Authentication error
- Check that your API key has not expired in the GoDaddy developer portal. GoDaddy keys default to a 1-year expiry.
