Downloads
We provide software libraries to make your integration of the name api into your software as smooth as possible.
For non-techies: you can't download NameAPI. It's a hosted software to which your software connects by sending small requests. These libraries offered here make your programmer feel like the software was local.
Java and the JVM
This library is for Java, and for all programming languages running on the Java Virtual Machine including Groovy, Scala and Cold Fusion.
This library written in Java hides the REST details and offers a nice programming api. It's open source and managed on GitHub. It uses command4j (a general-purpose command framework) and anythingworks (a rest/soap utility library for building clients and services). They're both on GitHub, too.
You may still roll your own solution. We recommend using this library instead. Thanks to command4j, it offers many ready-made client-side interceptors such as failover, exception translation, logging, and timeouts.
Maven
Just include this in your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.nameapi.client</groupId>
<artifactId>nameapi-client</artifactId>
<version>5.4.2</version>
</dependency>
Gradle
Just include this in your build.gradle:
implementation 'org.nameapi.client:nameapi-client:5.4.2'
Github
The project is on GitHub.

Or download the release from here.
PHP
This library written in PHP hides the REST details and offers a nice, well documented programming api. It's open source and managed on GitHub.
If you use Composer (recommended) then add this to your composer.json as a dependency:
"require": {
"optimaize/nameapi-client-php": "dev-master",
}
Other Programming Languages
For the languages not listed above, there is currently no client library available. If you're interested in building one, please go ahead, we'd be happy to help.
You can call the REST web services directly using the standard HTTP protocol, and toolkits or frameworks for your programming language may simplify the task.
The SOAP/WSDL APIs are still present, though not actively developed anymore.
To use NameAPI with REST from Go or Python, see this blog post by Julien Salinas.
