<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">A lot of domain name investors use <a style="text-decoration:underline;color:#2585b2" href="https://domainpunch.com/wmdpro/" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch My Domains Pro</a> to manage their domain name portfolio. But as domain name registrars limit access to Whois in the GDPR era, it has become difficult for domain owners to download their own Whois data into the program.</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">There's now a way to download all of your Whois data into the program without running into rate limits and other issues. It's accomplished using registrar APIs. And before you dismiss this because you aren't technical, I was able to set this up in 5 minutes with no technical skills.</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">Here's the process:</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">1. Get your API key and secret from your registrar.</p>

<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">2. Input your API info in Watch My Domains.</p>
<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">Click on the API configuration icon and enter your info in the box that pops up.</p>

<p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em">The first step is to import your domains by clicking the Import button in Watch My Domains.</p>
