Bulk tools for transferring domains?
I've looked through most of the CF Docs, but don't see anything about bulk tools.
I'm specifically interested in migrating domains to CF as the registrar.
From what I can tell right now, I have to do each by hand, which would stink.
Can anyone shed some light on this?

I'm pretty sure it's a 2 step process
You'd need your current registrar to have bulk unlocking & auth code generation as well
Yeah, there's lots of steps actually, which stinks. (Create Site, change dns records, initiaite transfer, etc)
I'm looking at the python API to see if that's more promising, but I'd much rather have my domains at CF than Squarespace.
The Registrar API itself is Enterprise only. You could potentially automate the rest though
Ok, thanks. Looks like Google is finally transferring everything to squarespace now, so I'd like to get ahead of that. 🙂
Maybe you ought to look into using something like selenium to do it
how many domains do you have ?
I think CF can figure out all the DNS records automatically, you'll just have to unlock and transfer.
I wouldn't trust the automatic dns import stuff if your dns records are important, it's just scanning popular records, no way to know all dns records in an external ns
