Connect Gandi to Lemon Domains
Three steps: create a read-only API key at Gandi, add it to Lemon Domains, and your domains sync once a day from then on. Connect as many Gandi accounts as you have.
Create a read-only API key at Gandi
Gandi has no read-only domain permission. The narrowest is “See and renew domain names”, limited to one organization: it can renew domains but cannot change their settings, DNS, contacts or transfer them. Lemon Domains only reads.
- 1Sign in to Gandi and open Organizations → (your organization) → Personal Access Tokens, or your account's Authentication options → Personal Access Tokens.
- 2Create a token named “Lemon Domains” for the organization that owns your domains, and pick an expiry date.
- 3Under permissions, tick only “See and renew domain names”. Leave every other permission off.
- 4Copy the token. It is only shown once. Gandi tokens expire, so put a reminder in your calendar to replace it.
Add it to Lemon Domains
- 1Sign in to Lemon Domains (it's free), open Connections and choose Gandi.
- 2Give the connection a friendly name, like “Gandi personal” or “Gandi clients”. Connect each Gandi account separately.
- 3Paste your personal access token.
- 4Click Test connection. Lemon Domains checks the API key and shows how many domains it can see, without saving anything.
- 5Tick the checkbox to confirm you understand the risks, pick the project new domains go into, and click Connect and import. Your domains appear straight away and sync once a day after that.
What Lemon Domains reads
- Domain names (including internationalised names)
- Status, such as active, expired or pending transfer
- Expiry and registration dates
- Whether auto-renew is on
- Nameservers
- Transfer lock
Lemon Domains only ever sends read requests to Gandi: each integration has a fixed list of read-only calls it may make, so it never renews, transfers or changes a domain. Your API key is encrypted at rest and never shown again.
If something goes wrong
- Gandi rejects the API key
- Copy it again with no spaces at either end. Some registrars only show the secret once, so create a new key if you didn't save it.
- The key has an IP restriction
- Lemon Domains connects from 2.31.94.66. Add it to the API key's allowed IPs, or remove the restriction.
- Some domains are missing
- Make sure the API key belongs to the Gandi account (or sub-account) that holds those domains. Connect each account separately.
Rather not use an API key? Import by paste or CSV
Copy your list from the Gandi portal, paste it into Lemon Domains, and you're done. Re-import any time to refresh.
- 1Open your Gandi account at gandi.net and go to the domain list.
- 2If the list paginates, switch to "show all" or the largest page size so every Gandi domain is visible.
- 3Copy the visible list, or export to CSV if Gandi offers it from the account area.
- 4In Lemon Domains, click Import, paste the list or upload the CSV, and map the columns. Lemon Domains previews everything before it commits.
- 5Give the registrar account a friendly label (for example "Gandi personal" or "Gandi client work") so sub-accounts stay distinct.
- Paste or CSV import needs no Gandi credentials at all.
- Gandi sub-accounts are supported. Add one Lemon Domains entry per Gandi account with its own label.
How Gandi fits into Lemon Domains
Pulled into one dashboard
Every Gandi domain you own sits next to your domains from every other registrar. Same list, same search.
Expiry tracking, finally
Lemon Domains shows live expiry countdowns and filters by expiry window (under 30 days, 31-90 days, later) for every Gandi domain so you stop missing renewals.
Daily sync by API
Connect Gandi with an API key and Lemon Domains syncs your domains once a day. Hit Sync now whenever you want a fresh copy.
Why Lemon Domains beats the Gandi dashboard
- Every Gandi domain in one sortable list, no pagination
- Live expiry countdowns and 30 and 90 day expiry windows, not just a date column
- Project folders for client work, brands, and experiments
- Multiple Gandi accounts with friendly labels, side by side
- Daily sync by API, plus a Sync now button
- Unified view with GoDaddy, Porkbun, Namecheap, and every other registrar
- MCP server access so your AI assistant can answer Gandi portfolio questions
Ask your AI assistant about your Gandi domains
Connect the Lemon Domains MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client that can send a Bearer header. "What Gandi domains do I have expiring this month?" becomes a one-line question.
Gandi + Lemon Domains FAQ
Does Lemon Domains support Gandi domains?
Yes. Connect your Gandi account with an API key and Lemon Domains syncs your domains automatically once a day. You can also import by pasting your domain list from the Gandi dashboard or uploading a CSV export. Multiple Gandi accounts are supported with friendly labels so sub-accounts stay distinct in the unified portfolio.
How is this different from the Gandi dashboard?
Gandi has been registering domains since 2000 with around 2.5 million domains under management, but its built-in dashboard is account-scoped and not designed for portfolio thinking. Lemon Domains puts every Gandi domain into one searchable, sortable list, adds live expiry countdowns, expiry window filters (under 30 days, 31-90 days, later), and project folders, and unifies Gandi with every other registrar you use.
Do I need to share my Gandi password?
No. Connecting by API uses an API key you create at Gandi, not your password. Gandi has no read-only domain permission. The narrowest is “See and renew domain names”, limited to one organization: it can renew domains but cannot change their settings, DNS, contacts or transfer them. Lemon Domains only reads. Keys are encrypted at rest, and Lemon Domains only ever sends read requests. Or skip the API and paste your list or upload a CSV.
Can I track multiple Gandi accounts?
Yes. Add one connection per Gandi account, each with its own friendly name. Personal and business logins, sub-accounts, and client accounts all sit side by side in one dashboard.
Does Lemon Domains renew my Gandi domains?
No. Renewal still happens at Gandi. Lemon Domains tracks expiry dates and auto-renew status so you know exactly when to act, but the renewal button stays at Gandi.
Can AI assistants query my Gandi domains?
Yes. The Lemon Domains MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP client that can send a Bearer header query your full portfolio, including Gandi domains, in plain English. Choose read-only or read-and-write access for each token.
