# POST /api/v1/domains/{domain}/actions/restore

> Hold a domain restore for confirmation

- Group: domains
- Tier: W
- Required scope: write:billing + write:domains
- Docs: https://api.inleed.com/reference/domains/restore-domain

## Description

Validates ownership, then returns `{status:"confirmation_required", confirmationUrl, …}`. It restores nothing and charges nothing on this call — show the human the URL; they approve it in the client area. On approval a best-effort redemption quote is returned.

## Path parameters

- `domain` — string (required)

## Body

- `years` — integer. How many years to add on restore (1–10), where the registry bills the restore as a renewal. Omit for the registry default.
- `attempt_key` — string. Idempotency key for this intent. Keep it stable across retries so a timed-out retry cannot buy the same thing twice. Up to 128 characters.
- `input` — string (required). A domain, email address, website URL, numeric service id, or hosting-account username the customer actually owns. Resolved to the owning account automatically; the resolved target is echoed back in the response.
