API Changes

Below changes to the API calls need to implemented:

Domain Registration and Domain Transfer: If you wish to purchase Privacy Protection when registering or transferring a domain name, your Registration or Transfer API call must include an additional parameter purchase-privacy with the value true. This will ensure that the service is purchased for the same term as the domain name. You can continue to use the existing parameter privacy-protect with the value true as long as your Selling Price to Customers in our system is set to zero. However, do keep in mind that your Reseller Account will be charged for the service.

Purchasing / Renewing Privacy Protection for an existing Domain Name: Before enabling the Privacy Protection service for a domain name, it must be purchased for the domain name. This must be done using the Purchase Privacy API call, which will add and activate the service for the domain name until its expiration date. The same call can be used to renew the Privacy Protection service if it expires before the expiration of the domain name itself.
