.eu domain operations
.eu domains are managed by EURid, the registry for the
European Union. The OpusDNS API provides a dedicated endpoint for requesting
auth codes from the registry.
Request an auth code
Request a new authorization code for a .eu domain directly from EURid. The
auth code is returned in the API response.
