REST Resource: projects.locations.registrations

Resource: Registration

The Registration resource facilitates managing and configuring domain name registrations.

To create a new Registration resource, find a suitable domain name by calling the registrations.searchDomains method with a query to see available domain name options. After choosing a name, call registrations.retrieveRegisterParameters to ensure availability and obtain information like pricing, which is needed to build a call to registrations.register.

State

Possible states of a Registration.

Enums
STATE_UNSPECIFIED The state is undefined.

GlueRecord

Defines a host on your domain that is a DNS name server for your domain and/or other domains. Glue records are a way of making the IP address of a name server known, even when it serves DNS queries for its parent domain. For example, when ns.example.com is a name server for example.com, the host ns.example.com must have a glue record to break the circular DNS reference.

    object (Contact)
  },
  "adminContact": {
    object (Contact)

registrantContact

object (Contact)

Required. The registrant contact for the Registration.

Caution: Anyone with access to this email address, phone number, and/or postal address can take control of the domain.

Warning: For new Registrations, the registrant will receive an email confirmation that they must complete within 15 days to avoid domain suspension.
adminContact

object (Contact)

Required. The administrative contact for the Registration.
technicalContact

object (Contact)

Required. The technical contact for the Registration.

ContactPrivacy

Defines a set of possible contact privacy settings for a Registration.

ICANN maintains the WHOIS database, a publicly accessible mapping from domain name to contact information, and requires that each domain name have an entry. Choose from these options to control how much information in your ContactSettings is published.

Enums
CONTACT_PRIVACY_UNSPECIFIED The contact privacy settings are undefined.
PUBLIC_CONTACT_DATA All the data from ContactSettings is publicly available. When setting this option, you must also provide a PUBLIC_CONTACT_DATA_ACKNOWLEDGEMENT in the contactNotices field of the request.
PRIVATE_CONTACT_DATA None of the data from ContactSettings is publicly available. Instead, proxy contact data is published for your domain. Email sent to the proxy email address is forwarded to the registrant's email address. Cloud Domains provides this privacy proxy service at no additional cost.
REDACTED_CONTACT_DATA Some data from ContactSettings is publicly available. The actual information redacted depends on the domain. For details, see the registration privacy article.

}
Fields
postalAddress

object (PostalAddress)

Required. Postal address of the contact.
email

string

Required. Email address of the contact.

faxNumber

string

Fax number of the contact in international format. For example, "+1-800-555-0123".

PostalAddress

Represents a postal address, e.g. for postal delivery or payments addresses. Given a postal address, a postal service can deliver items to a premise, P.O. Box or similar. It is not intended to model geographical locations (roads, towns, mountains).

In typical usage an address would be created via user input or from importing existing data, depending on the type of process.

Advice on address input / editing: - Use an i18n-ready address widget such as https://github.com/google/libaddressinput) - Users should not be presented with UI elements for input or editing of fields outside countries where that field is used.

  "sublocality": string,
  "addressLines": [

  "recipients": [

  ],
  "organization": string
}
Fields
revision

integer

The schema revision of the PostalAddress. This must be set to 0, which is the latest revision.

All new revisions must be backward compatible with old revisions.
regionCode

string

Required. CLDR region code of the country/region of the address. This is never inferred and it is up to the user to ensure the value is correct. See http://cldr.unicode.org/ and http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/30/supplemental/territory_information.html for details. Example: "CH" for Switzerland.
languageCode

string

Optional. BCP-47 language code of the contents of this address (if known). This is often the UI language of the input form or is expected to match one of the languages used in the address' country/region, or their transliterated equivalents. This can affect formatting in certain countries, but is not critical to the correctness of the data and will never affect any validation or other non-formatting related operations.

If this value is not known, it should be omitted (rather than specifying a possibly incorrect default).

Examples: "zh-Hant", "ja", "ja-Latn", "en".
postalCode

string

Optional. Postal code of the address. Not all countries use or require postal codes to be present, but where they are used, they may trigger additional validation with other parts of the address (e.g. state/zip validation in the U.S.A.).
sortingCode

string

Optional. Additional, country-specific, sorting code. This is not used in most regions. Where it is used, the value is either a string like "CEDEX", optionally followed by a number (e.g. "CEDEX 7"), or just a number alone, representing the "sector code" (Jamaica), "delivery area indicator" (Malawi) or "post office indicator" (e.g. Côte d'Ivoire).
administrativeArea

string

Optional. Highest administrative subdivision which is used for postal addresses of a country or region. For example, this can be a state, a province, an oblast, or a prefecture. Specifically, for Spain this is the province and not the autonomous community (e.g. "Barcelona" and not "Catalonia"). Many countries don't use an administrative area in postal addresses. E.g. in Switzerland this should be left unpopulated.
locality

string

Optional. Generally refers to the city/town portion of the address. Examples: US city, IT comune, UK post town. In regions of the world where localities are not well defined or do not fit into this structure well, leave locality empty and use addressLines.
sublocality

string

Optional. Sublocality of the address. For example, this can be neighborhoods, boroughs, districts.
addressLines[]

string

Unstructured address lines describing the lower levels of an address.

Because values in addressLines do not have type information and may sometimes contain multiple values in a single field (e.g. "Austin, TX"), it is important that the line order is clear. The order of address lines should be "envelope order" for the country/region of the address. In places where this can vary (e.g. Japan), address_language is used to make it explicit (e.g. "ja" for large-to-small ordering and "ja-Latn" or "en" for small-to-large). This way, the most specific line of an address can be selected based on the language.

The minimum permitted structural representation of an address consists of a regionCode with all remaining information placed in the addressLines. It would be possible to format such an address very approximately without geocoding, but no semantic reasoning could be made about any of the address components until it was at least partially resolved.

Creating an address only containing a regionCode and addressLines, and then geocoding is the recommended way to handle completely unstructured addresses (as opposed to guessing which parts of the address should be localities or administrative areas).
recipients[]

string

Optional. The recipient at the address. This field may, under certain circumstances, contain multiline information. For example, it might contain "care of" information.
organization

string

Optional. The name of the organization at the address.
