Overview
The IPRental API (Application Programming Interface) allows third party access to the IPRental network. Each API is released with a unique Key and Password, this information should be kept private.
After successful implementation, users of your application (the "user") will be required to provide a username and password for authenticating an IP lease. Statistical data relating to the account will be tracked and may be accessed by you (the "API license holder") and or your user.
The pricing per IP address leased varies, and depends on the total number of IPs you or your customers purchase. Volume discounts are given, and better pricing can be attained by your company handling the payments from your customers and pre-paying IPRental.

Technical Specifications
Our API communicates as a web-service using SOAP (Simple Application Object Protocol). Ideally we, like you, want to make sure that our server is capable of communicating with your client, which is why we've chosen one of the most widely accepted methods: SOAP. While other methods may be available, very few offer the same benefits of jumping through firewalls with ease.
Our SOAP API is constructed to support WSDL (Web Services Description Language) as defined services of collections of network endpoints, or ports. The WSDL specification provides an XML (Extensible Markup Language) format for documents for this purpose. The abstract definition of ports and messages are separated from their concrete use or instance, allowing the reuse of these definitions. A port is defined by associating a network address with a reusable binding, and a collection of ports define a service. Messages are abstract descriptions of the data being exchanged, and port types are abstract collections of supported operations. The concrete protocol and data format specifications for a particular port type constitutes a reusable binding, where the operations and messages are then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format. In this way, WSDL describes the public interface to the web service.
We offer a secure medium of HTTP communication through HTTP’s own SSL. All requests cycling toward our WSDL specification will be found through our secure server [sercure.iprental.com].

Billing & Account Requirements
On a general basis we will charge no fee to hold an API license. However, this license is offered to you on the basis that you will follow our Terms of Service as described in our End User License Agreement which can be found here: https://secure.iprental.com/eula/
Furthermore, your license only grants access to users. Each user is allowed access to any of our API holders; however they are billed based upon usage rather than availablility of service. This differs from our standard user subscription. These terms must be accepted by each individual user.
Supported Languages
SOAP (Simple Application Object Protocol) is language independent, thus meaning it can be run in any language that supports TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) communications (which nearly all popular languages support). We currently provide support as well as examples, but limited to C# language. In the future we hope to provide more examples.
Purchasing
The below pricing is for unique IPs served to you and you will not be charged for duplicate IPs. Your account will be limited to a maximum of 2304 unique IPs per day, and 96 IPs per hour.
