Create account and register the domain (Perl)

This example shows how a reseller via Perl connects to our XML-RPC server, creates a hosting account and registers a domain name.

Note that the following code example contains no error handling for the sake of readability.

Example

Below you find the code for the example above.

#!/usr/bin/perl  
  
use RPC::XML;  
use RPC::XML::Client;  
use Data::Dumper;  
use Encode;  
  
my $global_check_domain_server_url =   
   'https://api.loopia.se/RPCSERV';  
  
my $global_username = "YOUR_USERNAME";  
my $global_password = "YOUR_PASSWORD";  
  
my $client =   
   RPC::XML::Client->new($global_check_domain_server_url);  
$RPC::XML::ENCODING = "UTF-8";  
  
my $contact = { "firstname" => "Anders",  
   "lastname" => "Andersson",  
   "company" => "Loopia AB",  
   "street" => "Kopparbergsvägen 8",  
   "street2" => "",  
   "zip" => "722 13",  
   "city" => "Västerås",  
   "country_iso2" => "se",  
   "orgno" => "556633-9304",

   "email" => "info\@loopia.se" };  
  
foreach my $key (keys %$contact) {  
    Encode::from_to($contact->{$key}, 'UTF-8', 'UTF-8');  
}  
  
my $domain = "anderstestarapi" . `date +%s | tr -d "\n"` . ".se";  
  
my $response =   
   $client->simple_request('createNewAccount', $global_username,  
   $global_password, $domain, $contact, RPC::XML::boolean->new(0),  
   RPC::XML::boolean->new(0), RPC::XML::boolean->new(1),  
   'HOSTING_UNIX', 'HOSTING_BUSINESS', RPC::XML::boolean->new(1));
