# Restore a deleted domain

> Recover a deleted domain while it is still in the registry's redemption period.

## POST /api/v1/domains/restore

Recovers a deleted domain from the registry's redemption period. Chargeable, and usually expensive — restore fees are set by the registry and are far higher than a renewal.

**Request**

```json
{
  "domainName": "apiname.com"
}
```

**Response — 204, no body**

:::caution[Check the window before you try]
Restore only works while the domain is in the redemption period. Call `GET /api/v1/domains/info` and check that `rgpStatues` is `redemptionPeriod`. Once it moves to `pendingDelete` the domain is beyond recovery and will be released to the public.

The redemption window length per extension is `deletionRestorablePeriod` in the TLD catalogue — typically 30 days.
