inwx-dns

Manage INWX domains and DNS records via the domrobot XML-RPC API. Use when the user wants to create, update, delete, or query DNS records, transfer domains, register domains, manage contacts, handle DNSSEC, manage certificates, check domain availability or pricing, set up DynDNS, or check account/billing status at INWX. Triggers on "inwx", "dns record", "domain transfer", "nameserver", "dns zone", "wildcard record", "domain status", "domain registration", "dnssec", "dyndns", "ssl certificate".

INWX API — Complete Reference

Prerequisites

pip3 install --user --break-system-packages inwx-domrobot 2>/dev/null || pip3 install inwx-domrobot

Authentication

from INWX.Domrobot import ApiClient

api = ApiClient(api_url=ApiClient.API_LIVE_URL)

# Without 2FA
api.login('username', 'password')

# With 2FA (6-digit code from authenticator app — expires in 30 seconds)
api.login('username', 'password', tfa_token='123456')

# With shared secret (auto-generates TOTP, no manual code needed)
api.login('username', 'password', shared_secret='BASE32SECRET')

Important: 2FA codes expire in 30 seconds. Execute login and all API calls in a single script.

Credentials: Always ask the user. Never store in code. Reuse from conversation if previously provided.

Test environment: Use ApiClient.API_OTE_URL instead of API_LIVE_URL.

Account API

# Login
api.call_api('account.login', {'user': 'username', 'pass': 'password'})

# Unlock 2FA
api.call_api('account.unlock', {'tan': '123456'})

})

# Update account
api.call_api('account.update', {'email': 'new@example.com'})

# Change password
api.call_api('account.changepassword', {'oldpass': 'old', 'newpass': 'new'})

# Delete sub-account
api.call_api('account.delete', {'user': 'subuser'})

# Check if username exists
api.call_api('account.check', {'user': 'testuser'})

# Role management
api.call_api('account.addrole', {'user': 'subuser', 'role': 'DOMAIN_ADMIN'})
api.call_api('account.removerole', {'user': 'subuser', 'role': 'DOMAIN_ADMIN'})
api.call_api('account.getroles', {'user': 'subuser'})

Accounting API

# Account balance
api.call_api('accounting.accountBalance', {})

# Credit log (deposits/charges)
api.call_api('accounting.log', {})

# Specific credit log entry
api.call_api('accounting.creditLogById', {'id': 12345})

# Refund
api.call_api('accounting.refund', {'transactionId': 12345})

Domain API

Registration & Lifecycle

# Check availability
res = api.call_api('domain.check', {'domain': 'example.com'})
# avail: 1 = available, 0 = taken

# Check multiple domains
res = api.call_api('domain.check', {'domain': ['example.com', 'example.de', 'example.app']})

# Register domain
api.call_api('domain.create', {
    'domain': 'example.com',
    'period': '1Y',           # 1Y, 2Y, ... 10Y
    'ns': ['ns.inwx.de', 'ns2.inwx.de', 'ns3.inwx.eu'],
    'registrant': CONTACT_ID,
    'admin': CONTACT_ID,
    'tech': CONTACT_ID,
    'billing': CONTACT_ID,
})

# Renew domain
api.call_api('domain.renew', {'domain': 'example.com', 'period': '1Y'})

# Delete domain (schedule for deletion at expiry)
api.call_api('domain.delete', {'domain': 'example.com'})

# Restore deleted domain (redemption period)
api.call_api('domain.restore', {'domain': 'example.com'})

Transfer

# Initiate inbound transfer
api.call_api('domain.transfer', {
    'domain': 'example.com',
    'authCode': 'AUTH-CODE',
    'ns': ['ns.inwx.de', 'ns2.inwx.de', 'ns3.inwx.eu'],
    'registrant': CONTACT_ID,

})

# Cancel pending transfer
api.call_api('domain.transfercancel', {'domain': 'example.com'})

# Approve outbound transfer
api.call_api('domain.transferOut', {'domain': 'example.com'})

# Push domain to another INWX account
api.call_api('domain.push', {'domain': 'example.com', 'target': 'other-user'})

Transfer notes:

.de domains: tech and billing contacts must be PERSON type (not ORG)
clientTransferProhibited: transfer lock must be removed at current registrar
Transfer costs one year of registration (extends expiry by one year)
.de transfers are near-instant; gTLDs (.com, .app) take up to 5 days

Wildcard DNS Records

INWX supports wildcard records. * matches all subdomains at that level:

*.example.com matches foo.example.com but NOT bar.foo.example.com
*.sub.example.com matches foo.sub.example.com

For multi-level wildcards (e.g., Kubernetes environments):

wildcards = ['*.app', '*.dev.app', '*.test.app', '*.prod.app']
for name in wildcards:
    api.call_api('nameserver.createRecord', {
        'domain': 'example.com',
        'type': 'A',
        'name': name,
        'content': INGRESS_IP,
        'ttl': 300,
    })

Response Codes

Code	Meaning
1000	Success
1001	Success, action pending
2001	Internal server error
2002	Command use error (e.g., invalid 2FA)
2003	Required parameter missing
2004	Parameter value range error
2005	Parameter value syntax error
2104	Billing failure (insufficient credit)
2200	Authentication error
2201	Authorization error
2302	Object already exists
2303	Object does not exist
2304	Object status prohibits operation
2306	Parameter value policy error

Best Practices

Always logout after API calls: api.logout()
Batch operations in a single login session to minimize 2FA prompts
Check response codes before reporting success
Use INWX nameservers: ns.inwx.de, ns2.inwx.de, ns3.inwx.eu
Activate delegation after domain transfer via domain.update with NS records
Prefer wildcards over individual A records when subdomains share the same target
Handle billing failures by informing the user to top up their INWX credit
.de domains require PERSON contacts for tech and billing (not ORG)
