Transfer Domain
transfer_domainTransfer a domain from another registrar to Spaceship. Provide the auth code to initiate the paid transfer, which includes a one-year renewal and returns an operation ID.
Instructions
Transfer a domain TO Spaceship from another registrar. WARNING: This is a FINANCIAL operation that will charge money to the Spaceship account (transfers typically include a 1-year renewal). The transfer process: 1) Unlock the domain at the current registrar, 2) Get the auth/EPP code from the current registrar, 3) Call this tool with the auth code, 4) Approve the transfer via email (if required by the TLD). Some TLDs (e.g. .uk) do not require an auth code. Transfers can take up to 5-7 days depending on the TLD. Always confirm with the user before calling this tool — show the domain name and explain the transfer process. This operation is asynchronous: it returns an operationId. Use get_transfer_status to check the transfer progress and get_async_operation to check the operation status.
