Overview
Cloudflare Registrar
Cloudflare Registrar charges registry list prices and offers a beta API for search, authoritative availability and pricing checks, and registration on supported extensions. Checks can surface premium pricing, but the beta does not currently support premium registration. Future support will require explicit fee acknowledgement. Renewals, transfers, and contact updates are not yet available in the beta.
No separate API fee; registration is billableDomainr (Fastly)
Domainr is now part of Fastly. New integrations use the Fastly Domain Research API for domain search and availability; the original Domainr API documentation and endpoints are deprecated.
