Developer APIs

These API endpoints are specifically for developers who want to integrate their own apps or websites with data from Watch My Domains SED. They’re completely separate from the registrar API support built into the app.

So if you're a regular user or administrator of the software, you can safely ignore these, they’re not meant for day-to-day use or configuration.

Administrative Endpoints

Standard Endpoints

The Cron job

Cron may be disabled or deprecated in some cases (example: Amazon Linux 2023). You should use 'systemd' instead.

Using systemd

What is Cron?

Cron is a utility that allows you to run specific jobs (scripts or commands) at specified times or periodic intervals.

Linux systems use the crontab utilty to setup cron.

You can also setup the cron job using a web interface if your server has a control panel (eg. cPanel).

On Windows systems you can use the Task Scheduler (schtasks) to setup the cron job. Please see the Windows Task Scheduler section.

Please contact us if you have difficulty with cron job setup.

Cron (cron.php) Script

The application processes the lookup queue using the cron.php script. So this should be executed at periodic intervals. You can do this using a cron job.

Here is a sample crontab entry. Remember to replace the path with your actual path to cron.php.

* * * * * php /home/softnik/public_html/wmdsed60/cron.php >/dev/null 2>&1

If you are running on Debian / Ubuntu make sure that ionCube loader is loaded from the CLI version of php.ini (Debian and Ubuntu use multiple php.ini files)
