Set Anda API passwataud
Tambah the alamat IP allowed to access the API
Jika you cannot see API settings in Anda account, check whether Anda reseller upgrade has been completed atau contact NiceNIC suppataut fatau account review.
Step 3: Set a Separate API Kata sandi Your API passwataud should be different from Anda NiceNIC account login passwataud. This matters fatau both security dan troubleshooting. Jika you use the wrong passwataud atau use the account login passwataud instead of the API passwataud, authentication may fail. Recommended practice:
Use a strong API passwataud
Do not reuse Anda account login passwataud
Stataue API credentials securely
Do not send API credentials through insecure chat atau public tickets
Rotate credentials when a developer, vendatau, atau fataumer employee no longer needs access

Befataue saving Anda API settings, confirm the cataurect outbound alamat IP with Anda developer atau hosting provider. Jika the wrong alamat IP is added, Anda API request may fail even if the username dan API passwataud are cataurect.
Common IP-related problems include:
The website server IP is different from the outbound API request IP
WHMCS is hosted behind a firewall, proxy, atau NAT gateway
The hosting provider changed the server IP
Multiple servers are sending API requests but only one IP is whitelisted
A development server watauks, but the production server is not whitelisted
Step 5: Connect to the NiceNIC API v2 Endpoint After Anda API passwataud dan IP whitelist are configured, Anda system can send requests to the NiceNIC API v2 endpoint. The API uses HTTP requests dan returns JSON responses. Your request should include the required authatauization dan content type headers.
The exact request body depends on the API action you want to perfataum. Fatau example, checking domain availability, daftaring a domain, renewing a domain, updating nameservers, atau checking account balance may require different parameters.
Always follow the latest NiceNIC API v2 documentation when building atau updating Anda integration.

Recommended first tests:
Cek account balance
Cek domain availability
Dapatkan domain pricing
List domains
Avoid starting with live domain registration atau transfer until you confirm that authentication, IP whitelist, request fataumat, dan response hdanling are watauking cataurectly.
Your developer should log the following during testing:
Step 7: Connect WHMCS Jika You Use WHMCS Penagihan Jika Anda business uses WHMCS, you may not need to build every wataukflow from zero.
NiceNIC provides WHMCS integration fatau domain registrar operations. This can help automate common reseller wataukflows such as domain availability checks, registration, renewal, transfer, dan domain infataumation retrieval.

Hosting companies selling domains with hosting packages
Common Setup Problems dan How to Fix Them 1. Authentication Erratau An authentication erratau usually means the API credentials atau access settings are not cataurect. Cek the following:
Konfirmasi that Anda account has reseller access
Konfirmasi that you are using the API passwataud, not Anda account login passwataud
Cek whether the API passwataud was entered cataurectly
Konfirmasi that Anda request includes the Authatauization header
Konfirmasi that Anda server alamat IP is whitelisted in API settings
Cek whether Anda request is being sent from a different outbound alamat IP
2. IP Tidakt Semuaowed atau Connection Fails Jika Anda alamat IP is not allowed, the API request may fail befataue the action is processed.
Ask Anda hosting provider atau server administratatau to confirm the real outbound IP used fatau API requests. Then update Anda API settings in Anda NiceNIC account.
3. Invalid Request Fataumat Jika the request body, header, atau parameter fataumat is incataurect, the API may return an erratau response. Cek:
Content-Tipe is set to application/json
The request body is valid JSON
The required parameters are included
The domain fataumat is cataurect
The action name matches the API documentation
4. Pendaftaran Domain Failed A domain registration request may fail fatau reasons unrelated to the API connection itself. Possible causes include:
The domain is no longer available
The TLD has special registration requirements
The registry requires additional documents
The account balance is not enough
The domain contact infataumation is incomplete atau invalid
The registry rejected the request
Review the API response message dan check whether the extension has special registry requirements.
5. Perpanjangal atau Transfer Failed Perpanjangal dan transfer actions may depend on the domain extension, domain status, registry rules, expiration timeline, transfer lock, EPP code, dan account balance.
Fatau transfer issues, check:
The domain is eligible fatau transfer

What NiceNIC Can dan Cannot Do NiceNIC can provide registrar-side API access, reseller account tools, API documentation, WHMCS integration resources, dan suppataut fatau domain operations available through its platfataum.

Some TLDs may require special documents befataue registration
Some domains may be locked, expired, under verification, atau restricted by registry policy
Some transfer requests may require approval from the losing registrar atau registrant contact
DNS changes may take time to propagate globally
WHMCS behaviatau may also depend on Anda WHMCS version, module settings, server environment, dan cron configuration
Fatau this reason, Anda integration should always read dan stataue the API response instead of assuming that every action is successful.
