Configuration

To use this provider, add an entry to creds.json with TYPE set to PORKBUN along with your api_key and secret_key. More info about authentication can be found in Getting started with the Porkbun API.

Example:

{% code title="creds.json" %}

{
  "porkbun": {
    "TYPE": "PORKBUN",
    "api_key": "your-porkbun-api-key",
    "secret_key": "your-porkbun-secret-key"
  }
}

{% endcode %}

Porkbun has quite strict API limits. If you experience errors with this provider (common when you have many domains), you can set one or both of max_attempts and max_duration in the credentials configuration.

Example:

{% code title="creds.json" %}

{
  "porkbun": {
    "TYPE": "PORKBUN",
    "api_key": "your-porkbun-api-key",
    "secret_key": "your-porkbun-secret-key",
    "max_attempts": "10",
    "max_duration": "5m"
  }
}

{% endcode %}

The default for max_attempts is 5. There is no maximum duration by default, instead the provider will perform exponential backoff between 1 and 10 seconds, until max_attempts is reached. To retry indefinitely until max_duration is reached, set max_attempts to any value below 1.

Metadata

This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to Porkbun.
