Before you make your first call to the LoopiaAPI XML-RPC service, review the character encoding, server endpoint, authentication scheme and rate limits documented below. The same conventions apply to every method, whether you are managing domains in the Customer Zone or provisioning accounts as a reseller.
Character encoding
Any input is expected to be encoded in UTF-8.
Server and authentication
In order to use LoopiaAPI you must create an API user. You create your API user in the Loopia Customer Zone or Loopia Reseller Zone under Account Settings → LoopiaAPI.
Server
LoopiaAPI is accessed via XML-RPC by connecting to https://api.loopia.se/RPCSERV.
Authentication
Authentication is performed by sending the username and password for LoopiaAPI as the first parameters of the method call. For more information, refer to the documentation for each method.
Limitations
You can make up to 60 calls per minute to LoopiaAPI. Of those, a maximum of 15 can be domain searches. Resellers can also make a maximum of 15 domain registrations per hour by direct activation.
