Raw XML

Please note that newlines and leading spaces are added only for readability. Those whitespaces should be excluded from your XML command before sending it to Openprovider.

NB: When submitting multiple domain names in an array, the <domains> (plural) XML field should be used instead of <domain>.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<openXML>
  <credentials>
