Connect your Namecheap account to InfraNest by turning on API access and gathering your credentials. This article is for anyone setting up domain management through Namecheap.
Overview
- InfraNest needs three things from Namecheap: API access turned on, your API credentials, and InfraNest's IP address approved.
- You'll do most of this work in your Namecheap account, then return to InfraNest to finish connecting.
Turn on API access and get your key
- Sign in to Namecheap.
- Go to Profile → Tools → API Access.
- Enable API access. Namecheap may first require a minimum balance or spend on your account.
- Copy your API username and API key.
Approve InfraNest's IP address
Namecheap only accepts API requests from approved IP addresses.
- InfraNest shows the exact IP address to approve on the connect screen — copy it.
- Add it to your Whitelisted IPs in Namecheap's API Access settings.
NoteNamecheap also offers a sandbox for testing. Most people should use their normal account; only an admin can connect a sandbox account.
Next step
Go back to InfraNest and follow Connect Namecheap to enter your username and key and confirm the IP.
