LIST operation

The List operation returns a list of all of the details for the domains names you specify.

Guidelines
  • You should not attempt to use the list operation for details on domain names that are not on your tag.   If you do so then this may be considered abuse of the Automaton.
Instructions
  • send to the address auto-list@nic.uk
  • use a subject line of TAG List (replace TAG with the name of your tag in capital letters)
  • specify the month of registration using one of the templates below
  • make sure the e-mail is PGP signed

The Automaton will return a list containing all matching domain name registrations and all of the register fields for those domains.

Operation template 1 - registration date

This list operation returns all those domains on your tag registered within a particular month of a particular year. This template is in the following format:

operation: list
month: YYYY-MM
where YYYY = year (e.g. 1996) and MM = month (e.g. 08).

This list operation returns all those domains on your tag due to expire within a particular month of a particular year. This template is in the following format:

operation: list
expiry: YYYY-MM
where YYYY = year (e.g. 2004) and MM = month (e.g. 08).
