How to Add Domains

Use the token to grant doctl access to your DigitalOcean account.

                    doctl auth init
                

Finally, run doctl compute domain create. Basic usage looks like this, but you can read the usage docs for more details:

                doctl compute domain create <domain> [flags]
            

The following command creates a domain named example.com and adds an A record to the domain:

                    doctl compute domain create example.com --ip-address 198.51.100.215
                

Send a POST request to https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains

cURL

Using cURL:

                            curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"name":"example.com","ip_address":"1.2.3.4"}' \
  "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains"
                        

Go

Using Godo, the official DigitalOcean V2 API client for Go:

                            import (
  "context"
  "os"

  "github.com/digitalocean/godo"
  )

func main() {
  token := os.Getenv("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN")

  client := godo.NewFromToken(token)
  ctx := context.TODO()

  createRequest := &godo.DomainCreateRequest{
    Name:      "example.com",
    IPAddress: "1.2.3.4",
  }

  domain, _, err := client.Domains.Create(ctx, createRequest)

}
                        

Ruby

Using DropletKit, the official DigitalOcean V2 API client for Ruby:

                            require 'droplet_kit'
token = ENV['DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN']
client = DropletKit::Client.new(access_token: token)

domain = DropletKit::Domain.new(
  name: 'example.com',
  ip_address: '1.2.3.4'
)
client.domains.create(domain)
                        

Python

                            import os
from pydo import Client

client = Client(token=os.environ.get("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN"))

req = {
  "name": "example.com"
}

resp = client.domains.create(body=req)
