Pricing

The API is free to use, with no subscribtion fees or paid tokens. However, chargeable actions (e.g., domain purchase, hosting renewal) follow standard LWS pricing. These actions are clearly marked in the documentation.

Payment Methods

• Only prepaid credit is accepted for API payments.
• The API does not support other payment methods.
• All prices are in EUR unless otherwise specified.

💳 To top up your prepaid credit, visit the Compte Prépayé page.

Authentication

To make API requests, you must include authentication headers:

• X-Auth-Login: The LWS ID of your account (e.g., 123456)
• X-Auth-Pass: A key to access the API.

🔒 Security Scheme Type: apiKey (Header authentication)

To learn how to use the API and get your API Key, you can follow our documentation.

🔹 Note: You must have a valid LWS account to use the API. If you don't have one, get started here.

How to Use the API

• Include the authentication headers in your API requests.
• Requests must be formatted in JSON unless otherwise specified.
• Some requests (marked [Differed]) are processed in the background, and their status can be checked via the /database endpoints.

Domain Name Services

LWS also provides domain management via the API:

• Prepaid Account for Domain Names
• Register a Domain Name
• Domain Name Pricing

Test environment

For safe API testing without affecting your services, include the X-Test-Mode (such as: X-Test-Mode: true) header in your requests. Actions performed in this mode will be executed in a test environment.
