Before you start

Huntbase signs in to GoDaddy with API Key & Secret. Create the credential in GoDaddy first, then keep it to hand for the Connect step.

1. Sign in to the GoDaddy developer portal and open the API Key and Secret page (developer.godaddy.com/keys).
2. Create a key for the environment you want to query, either Production or OTE (the test environment).
3. Copy both the key and the secret.

Watch out for

• Production and OTE keys are separate. A production key and secret won't work against OTE, and vice versa.
• GoDaddy is deprecating API key and secret credentials for the Domains APIs during 2026 in favour of personal access tokens, and v3 Domains endpoints don't accept them.

For the vendor's own instructions, see GoDaddy API authentication.

tip

Use a dedicated, read-only credential for Huntbase where the product allows it. Huntbase only needs to read.

Connect GoDaddy

1. Go to Connections and click New connection, or click New connection on the GoDaddy product page.
2. On Product, pick GoDaddy and choose the Owner.
3. On Details, give the connection a Name and, optionally, a Description.
4. On Connect, fill in the settings and credentials described below.
5. On Verify, review the summary and click Create & check.

For everything else on the setup page — saving a draft, I'll do this later, and what each check result means — see Connections.
