| API Changes – Updates |
Changes to the Existing API:
Activating Free Mail Forwarding on a Domain:
You will need to call the “activateMailForwardService” method in the Domains Kit in order to activate Free Mail Forwarding. You will need to include the OrderID of the Product associated with the Mail Forwarding Service when making this call.
For example: If the Mail Forwarding Service is associated with a Domain Name Registration Order, you will have to pass the OrderID of that Domain Name as the parameter while calling the “activateMailForwardService” method to activate the Mail Forwarding Service.
Managing Packages through the API:
To manage the Free Mail Forwarding Service through the API, you will need to use the ‘Manage Services Servlet’ as detailed here for the Free DNS Service: http://manage.netearthone.com/kb/servlet/KBServlet/faq1236.html
The URL for the ‘Manage Services Servlet’ will be:
http://<Your_Control_Panel_Branded_URL>/servlet/ManageServiceServletForAPI
Once the Free Mail Forwarding Service is live, we will accept the following parameters (i.e. orderid, loginid, product) hence the final URL will be:
http://<Your_Control_Panel_Branded_URL>/servlet/ManageServiceServletForAPI?loginid=<loginid> &orderid=<orderid>&product=mailfwd
The following changes will be made to the required parameters:
1) As mentioned before, the OrderID of the Product associated with the Mail Forwarding Service needs to be used as the parameter for the API call. For existing orders that are not associated with any other Product, the OrderID of the existing Mail Forwarding Order will have to be used.
2) You will need to pass an additional parameter product with the value as mailfwd
Dear Reseller,
