I expect folks on NANOG would know:  Are there any domain registrars who
provide APIs for managing domains and/or DNS records?  It's kind of a pain
managing large numbers of domains


I've been very happy with DNSimple, which has an incredibly complete and
very RESTful API. It supports registration, DNS, SSL certificates
(purchasing and signing), transfers, email forwarding, white-label/vanity
nameservers, portal users and domain-level access control, and a bunch of
other stuff: https://dnsimple.com/documentation/api. Scroll down to
"Contents."

Basically they treat the API as a first-class citizen. Their support has
been a joy to interact with.

It works with DitchDaddy to migrate from GoDaddy:
https://github.com/jm/ditchdaddy. I've never used it.
