August 13, 2026: Auctions Instant Purchase APIs are available for Closeout domains

We've added Instant Purchase endpoints so you can buy eligible Closeout and Buy Now domains programmatically: list payment profiles, preview pricing, and purchase. The Auctions UI isn't required.

What changed

• GET /v1/customers/{customerId}/paymentProfiles — list ACTIVE payment profiles eligible for Instant Purchase.
• POST /v1/customers/{customerId}/auctions/purchases/preview — preview all-in pricing for up to 10 Closeout domains (totalPrice in USD micro-units).
• POST /v1/customers/{customerId}/auctions/purchases — purchase one or more eligible Closeout domains using a paymentProfileId (optional; defaults to the most recently used supported method).

You can use the MY alias for {customerId}. Authenticate with a legacy API key (sso-key). Partial success returns 207 Multi-Status with per-domain status and failureReason.

Who is affected

Available to developers with Auctions Instant Purchase access and a configured payment profile. Existing Domains and Aftermarket partner integrations are unchanged; these endpoints are additive. Instant Purchase does not place bids on open Expired Auctions — use the bidding endpoint for that.
