Episode notes
Single API For All Registrars
- Nerve.io normalizes different registrar APIs into a single unified API for domain portfolios.
- This lets users pull consistent domain data across registrars with one request.
Scope Keys To Reduce Risk
- Scope API keys to limit actions, domains, IPs, and referrers instead of giving full access to anyone.
- Use scoped keys to prevent unauthorized creates, transfers, or deletes of your domains.
Keep An Immutable Audit Trail
- Keep an immutable audit trail of DNS and account changes and provide an undo option for mistakes.
- Revert accidental changes quickly to reduce downtime or security exposure.
