Monitoring your Namecheap DNS records automatically is made easy with ZoneWatcher. After you've added your account credentials, we will automatically import all of your domains and begin monitoring them for changes.
To get started adding your Namecheap account, you'll first want to retrieve your API token on Namecheap's dashboard. We use this token to automatically fetch the domains and associated DNS records.
You can find a full getting started tutorial on Namecheap's website here.
Setup Note
Namecheap requires your account meet one of the following requirements to enable API access:
- have at least 20 domains under your account;
- have at least $50 on your account balance;
- have at least $50 spent within the last 2 years.
After you've generated your API token, you'll need to whitelist ZoneWatcher's IP addresses to allow us to access your account. You can do this by adding the following IP addresses to your whitelist:
5.161.205.27/32
2a01:4ff:f0:3871::/64
5.161.53.193/32
2a01:4ff:f0:9afb::/64
5.161.72.41/32
2a01:4ff:f0:c96b::/64
5.161.44.124/32
2a01:4ff:f0:25af::/64
5.161.101.78/32
2a01:4ff:f0:bc92::/64

Once you've retrieved your API token, you can create your new Namecheap DNS provider on ZoneWatcher by giving it a descriptive name and pasting the token into the API token field.
After you've created your Namecheap DNS provider, we will sync all the zones associated with your account and their associated DNS records. You'll be able to view them from either the Provider's page or the Zone Dashboard.
