Question about API

[xtmoney]

Question:
if there are 10 people who use API and try to register every second 10 domains with the same script but are not at the same country (different accounts) which one has the priority to register the domain/s first?
I ask this because i have account already 1 month in one site which have api, but in the last 1-2 weeks there were others who use this api and my success significantly go down.If 1 month ago I registered a 5-6 domain of possible 10, it is now almost I can't register even 1 domain.
So my question is which one is the highest priority? Is it possible Site/register do this instead of me ?
Thank you.

When you are talking about drop catching domain names you can't just go down to the second. You need to go down to the millisecond. If 10 people are trying to catch the same domain and they're using the same API it would come down to whoever gets the request sent closest to the millisecond it drops.

Some registrars will give priority access to their API based on how much money you've spent with them in the last 365 days. So if person A has spent $100 with them and person B has spent $50 with them and both person A and person B go for the same domain, then person A will have a better chance of winning at that registrar.

Some registrars also take into consideration how many API requests you've made in the last 24 hours. So if person A has made 10 API requests and person B has made 5 API requests, then person B will have a better chance of winning at that registrar.

Some registrars, like Dynadot, use both of these techniques.

I don't know much about individual API's. But I agree with FPForum, that domains are caught on the basis of milliseconds. So it is possible that you were represented fairly within any 1 second. Of course, more bidders means less success.

u can also fire up 50 api's with 50 different companies hahaha

still in most cases a registrar thats after the name will beat your api's
