Monitoring Namecheap DNS

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.

Generating your Namecheap API Token

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.

Whitelisting ZoneWatcher to use the API

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
