(domains)
Domains represent each instance's URLs and DNS setup.
- list - List all instance domains
- add - Add a domain
- delete - Delete a satellite domain
- update - Update a domain
Use this endpoint to get a list of all domains for an instance. The response will contain the primary domain for the instance and any satellite domains. Each domain in the response contains information about the URLs where Clerk operates and the required CNAME targets.
from clerk_backend_api import Clerk
with Clerk(
bearer_auth="<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
) as clerk:
res = clerk.domains.list()
assert res is not None
# Handle response
print(res)

Add a new domain for your instance.
Useful in the case of multi-domain instances, allows adding satellite domains to an instance.
The new domain must have a name
. The domain name can contain the port for development instances, like localhost:3000
.
At the moment, instances can have only one primary domain, so the is_satellite
parameter must be set to true
.
If you're planning to configure the new satellite domain to run behind a proxy, pass the proxy_url
parameter accordingly.
from clerk_backend_api import Clerk
with Clerk(
bearer_auth="<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
) as clerk:
res = clerk.domains.add(name="example.com", is_satellite=True, proxy_url="https://proxy.example.com")
assert res is not None
# Handle response
print(res)
Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
name |
str | ✔️ | The new domain name. Can contain the port for development instances. | example.com |
is_satellite |
bool | ✔️ | Marks the new domain as satellite. Only true is accepted at the moment. |
true |
proxy_url |
Optional[str] | ➖ | The full URL of the proxy which will forward requests to the Clerk Frontend API for this domain. Applicable only to production instances. | https://proxy.example.com |
retries |
Optional[utils.RetryConfig] | ➖ | Configuration to override the default retry behavior of the client. |
Error Type | Status Code | Content Type |
---|---|---|
models.ClerkErrors | 400, 402, 422 | application/json |
models.SDKError | 4XX, 5XX | */* |
Deletes a satellite domain for the instance. It is currently not possible to delete the instance's primary domain.
from clerk_backend_api import Clerk
with Clerk(
bearer_auth="<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
) as clerk:
res = clerk.domains.delete(domain_id="domain_12345")
assert res is not None
# Handle response
print(res)
Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
domain_id |
str | ✔️ | The ID of the domain that will be deleted. Must be a satellite domain. | domain_12345 |
retries |
Optional[utils.RetryConfig] | ➖ | Configuration to override the default retry behavior of the client. |
Error Type | Status Code | Content Type |
---|---|---|
models.ClerkErrors | 403, 404 | application/json |
models.SDKError | 4XX, 5XX | */* |
The proxy_url
can be updated only for production instances.
Update one of the instance's domains. Both primary and satellite domains can be updated.
If you choose to use Clerk via proxy, use this endpoint to specify the proxy_url
.
Whenever you decide you'd rather switch to DNS setup for Clerk, simply set proxy_url
to null
for the domain. When you update a production instance's primary domain name,
you have to make sure that you've completed all the necessary setup steps for DNS and
emails to work. Expect downtime otherwise. Updating a primary domain's name will also
update the instance's home origin, affecting the default application paths.
from clerk_backend_api import Clerk
with Clerk(
bearer_auth="<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
) as clerk:
res = clerk.domains.update(domain_id="domain_12345", name="example.com", proxy_url="http://proxy.example.com", is_secondary=False)
assert res is not None
# Handle response
print(res)
Parameter | Type | Required | Description | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
domain_id |
str | ✔️ | The ID of the domain that will be updated. | domain_12345 |
name |
OptionalNullable[str] | ➖ | The new domain name. For development instances, can contain the port, i.e myhostname:3000 . For production instances, must be a valid FQDN,i.e mysite.com . Cannot contain protocol scheme. |
example.com |
proxy_url |
OptionalNullable[str] | ➖ | The full URL of the proxy that will forward requests to Clerk's Frontend API. Can only be updated for production instances. |
http://proxy.example.com |
is_secondary |
OptionalNullable[bool] | ➖ | Whether this is a domain for a secondary app, meaning that any subdomain provided is significant and will be stored as part of the domain. This is useful for supporting multiple apps (one primary and multiple secondaries) on the same root domain (eTLD+1). |
