Route 53 domain registration examples using AWS CLI

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS Command Line Interface with Route 53 domain registration.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use check-domain-availability.

AWS CLI

To determine whether you can register a domain name with Route 53

The following check-domain-availability command returns information about whether the domain name example.com is available to be registered using Route 53.

This command runs only in the us-east-1 Region. If your default region is set to us-east-1, you can omit the region parameter.

aws route53domains check-domain-availability \
    --region us-east-1 \
    --domain-name example.com

Output:

{
    "Availability": "UNAVAILABLE"
}

Route 53 supports a large number of top-level domains (TLDs), such as .com and .jp, but we don't support all available TLDs. If you check the availability of a domain and Route 53 doesn't support the TLD, check-domain-availability returns the following message.

An error occurred (UnsupportedTLD) when calling the CheckDomainAvailability operation: <top-level domain> tld is not supported.

For a list of the TLDs that you can use when registering a domain with Route 53, see Domains That You Can Register with Amazon Route 53 in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide. For more information about registering domains with Amazon Route 53, see Registering a New Domain in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.

The following code example shows how to use check-domain-transferability.

AWS CLI

To determine whether a domain can be transferred to Route 53

The following check-domain-transferability command returns information about whether you can transfer the domain name example.com to Route 53.

This command runs only in the us-east-1 Region. If your default region is set to us-east-1, you can omit the region parameter.

aws route53domains check-domain-transferability \
    --region us-east-1 \
    --domain-name example.com

Output:

{
    "Transferability": {
        "Transferable": "UNTRANSFERABLE"
    }
}

For more information, see Transferring Registration for a Domain to Amazon Route 53 in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.

The following code example shows how to use delete-tags-for-domain.

AWS CLI

To delete tags for a domain

The following delete-tags-for-domain command deletes three tags from the specified domain. Note that you specify only the tag key, not the tag value.

This command runs only in the us-east-1 Region. If your default region is set to us-east-1, you can omit the region parameter.

aws route53domains delete-tags-for-domain \
    --region us-east-1 \
    --domain-name example.com \
    --tags-to-delete accounting-key hr-key engineering-key

This command produces no output.

To confirm that the tags were deleted, you can run list-tags-for-domain . For more information, see Tagging Amazon Route 53 Resources in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.

The following code example shows how to use disable-domain-auto-renew.

AWS CLI

To disable automatic renewal of a domain

The following disable-domain-auto-renew command configures Route 53 to not automatically renew the domain example.com before registration for the domain expires.

This command runs only in the us-east-1 Region. If your default region is set to us-east-1, you can omit the region parameter.

aws route53domains disable-domain-auto-renew \
    --region us-east-1 \
    --domain-name example.com

This command produces no output.

To confirm that the setting was changed, you can run get-domain-detail . If automatic renewal is disabled, the value of AutoRenew is False. For more information about automatic renewal, see Renewing Registration for a Domain <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-renew.html in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.

The following code example shows how to use disable-domain-transfer-lock.

AWS CLI

To disable the transfer lock on a domain

The following disable-domain-transfer-lock command removes the transfer lock on the domain example.com so that the domain can be transferred to another registrar. This command changes the clientTransferProhibited status.

This command runs only in the us-east-1 Region. If your default region is set to us-east-1, you can omit the region parameter.

aws route53domains disable-domain-transfer-lock \
    --region us-east-1 \
    --domain-name example.com

Output:

{
    "OperationId": "3f28e0ac-126a-4113-9048-cc930example"
}

To confirm that the transfer lock has been changed, you can run get-domain-detail . When the transfer lock is disabled, the value of StatusList does not include clientTransferProhibited.
