anyone successfully manage to use the public API to dynamically generate a custom domain?

just want to check if anyone has been able to and if they can share their graphql query https://docs.railway.app/reference/public-api#examples otherwise i'm planning to try it later in the week and will report back thanks!

well you can only generate a single railway provided domain do you mean to ask how to add custom domains to a service?

pikachuOP•15mo ago

ah i meant like a custom domain - cname + target being able to generate dynamically would be awesome since right now we have clients who use our subdomains e.g. myapp.kalder.app

Brody•15mo ago

well I don't know what you mean by dynamically, you need to own the domain you are adding

pikachuOP•15mo ago

and would be cool if they can point their own custom domains, in a self-serve way from our app like if we can just give them the cname + target (from railway api) and tell them to do it themselves in cloudflare or wherever

Brody•15mo ago

ah okay so if user has domain.xyz you want to add that domain to the railway service and get back the cname to give to the client

pikachuOP•15mo ago

yes! that would be amazing right now it's kind of manual (on our end)

Brody•15mo ago

sure that can be done, are you on the pro plan by chance?

pikachuOP•15mo ago

not yet - but will upgrade as necessary!

Brody•15mo ago

generally once a project that hosted with railway gains a userbase it would be required to upgrade to pro but just stating that, you can make this mutation on any plan type

pikachuOP•15mo ago

gotcha ~~we'll upgrade tmrw thanks for lmk~~ just upgraded! appreciate the help - glad to know it's possible!

Brody•15mo ago

mutation customDomainCreate($input: CustomDomainCreateInput!) {
  customDomainCreate(input: $input) {
    id
    domain
    createdAt
    updatedAt
    serviceId
    environmentId
    status {
      dnsRecords {
        hostlabel
        fqdn
        recordType
        requiredValue
        currentValue
        status
        zone
        purpose
      }
      cdnProvider
      certificates {
        issuedAt
        expiresAt
        domainNames
        fingerprintSha256
        keyType
      }
      certificateStatus
    }
  }
}

mutation customDomainCreate($input: CustomDomainCreateInput!) {
  customDomainCreate(input: $input) {
    id
    domain
    createdAt
    updatedAt
    serviceId
    environmentId
    status {
      dnsRecords {
        hostlabel
        fqdn
        recordType
        requiredValue
        currentValue
        status
        zone
        purpose
      }
      cdnProvider
      certificates {
        issuedAt
        expiresAt
        domainNames
        fingerprintSha256
        keyType
      }
      certificateStatus
    }
  }
}

{
    "input": {
        "domain": "",
        "environmentId": "",
        "serviceId": ""
    }
}

{
    "input": {
        "domain": "",
        "environmentId": "",
        "serviceId": ""
    }
}

you may also want this query too

query customDomainAvailable($domain: String!) {
    customDomainAvailable(domain: $domain) {
        available
        message
    }
}

query customDomainAvailable($domain: String!) {
    customDomainAvailable(domain: $domain) {
        available
        message
    }
}

{
    "domain": ""
}

{
    "domain": ""
}
