Manage your domains easily with the Dot TK APIs. Are you looking for an easier way to administer your domains?
Did you know that Dot TK has two extensive Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to allow you to administer your domains simply and effectively?
There are two different APIs for two of Dot TK’s services:
TweaK domains are domains that are random short 5 character domains generated on the fly and are typically used for URL shortening services.
TweaK domains can be registered online using the TweaK web interface on www.tweak.tk or through the TweaK API. TweaK domains configured to only use HTTP 301 forwarding.
There are no user restrictions for TweaK domains and TweaK domains will continue to work forever. The Dot TK content policy applies on all TweaK domains.

DomainShare Partners are eligible to register .TK domain names for others. Signing up for a a DomainShare Partner account is free of charge. This can be done at http://www.domainshare.tk. There are no requirements to become a DomainShare Partner. Typical DomainShare Partners are Internet Service Providers, Hosting Providers and software development partners.
Registrants (endusers) of domains that are registered through a DomainShare Partner need to confirm their email address. Only after confirmation by the registrant (enduser) the domain name will be activated. Upon confirmation of the domain by the enduser the registrant (enduser) will receive a Dot TK Registration ID by email. This Registration ID allows the registrant (enduser) to purchase the domain on Dot TK’s website when there is a problem or issue the DomainShare Partner and the registrant (enduser).
DomainShare domains can be registered in My DomainShare or through the Dot TK API.
DomainShare domains are registered for a period of 1 to 12 months. Domain renewals can be made from 15 days before the expiration date of the domain name.
There are no user restriction for DomainShare domains. As long as the DomainShare Partner renews the domain on time, the domain will continue to work. The Dot TK content policy applies to all DomainShare domains.
Domain names under the DomainShare Partner program are free of charge. Expired or cancelled domains of a DomainShare Partner will display a parking page with advertisements. The revenue of these advertisements is shared with the DomainShare Partner. Payments are made by PayPal or by bank wire.
