Retry domain transfer

POST /api/v2/domains/{id}/actions/retry-transfer

Retry an in-progress domain transfer.

If the previous failure was an invalid EPP/auth code, send eppCode here to save the new code and retry the transfer in the same request.

Send recoveryValues for transfer-specific details, or send profileUpdated: true after updating account-targeted fields in account settings.

recoveryValues keys are canonical camelCase field keys and their values are strings.

A 422 recovery response is cumulative: errors identifies only the fields still blocking this attempt, while recovery.fields and recovery.suggestedBody preserve the complete form and previously accepted non-secret values.

You can also call POST /api/v2/domains/{id}/actions/update-epp first, then retry with an empty body.

Registrar-push transfers such as .uk do not use an EPP code: their response status distinguishes a request that is ready for the current provider's registrar-tag change from one that must be submitted again.

The response returns the refreshed transfer status, recovery gates, and registry history so a client does not need to infer state from raw provider text.

Domains & DNS Domains

Authentication

Required API scope: write:domains

Authenticate with an API key in the Authorization: Bearer <token> header.

Context

Path Parameters

id string required Example: dom_01hxa3b4c5d6e7f8g9h0j1k2m3

Public domain ID from GET /api/v2/domains data[].id. Do not invent this value; use the exact ID returned by the referenced API response.

Headers

Authorization Bearer <token>
Accept application/json
Content-Type application/json

Body

optional
application/json
eppCode string · nullable · Example: YOUR_NEW_EPP_CODE

Optional fresh EPP/auth code. When present, the server stores it before retrying the transfer.

profileUpdated boolean

True after the caller has updated profile-targeted fields in account settings and wants the retry to use freshly fetched account details.

recoveryValues object

Transfer- or extension-specific correction values keyed by a previous 422 recovery field key. Do not send account-targeted fields here; update account settings and use profileUpdated instead.
