Provider: Namecheap DNS

[cl8dep]

Summary

Add support for Namecheap DNS as a read/write provider.

API

Namecheap uses an XML-based REST API. Auth via API key + username + whitelisted IP.

• Docs: https://www.namecheap.com/support/api/intro/
• Endpoints: namecheap.domains.dns.getHosts, namecheap.domains.dns.setHosts

Config

providers:
  namecheap:
    type: namecheap
    api_key: "${NAMECHEAP_API_KEY}"
    api_user: "${NAMECHEAP_API_USER}"
    client_ip: "${NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP}"   # must be whitelisted in Namecheap dashboard

Implementation notes

• API requires the client IP to be whitelisted — document this requirement clearly
• setHosts replaces all records for a domain atomically — must send the full record set on every apply
• Sandbox available at api.sandbox.namecheap.com for testing without a real domain
• XML response parsing (no JSON)
