deployments_uploadDeploy a static site instantly: free, no account or API key required. Returns the live URL, file count, and size. Without SHIP_TOKEN, the response also includes a one-time claim URL, and the site expires in 3 days unless claimed. Pass `password` to make the site private.deployments_listList all deployments with their URLs, status, labels, and password protection state. The response's `cursor` is null on the last page; pass it back as `cursor` to fetch the next.deployments_getGet deployment details including URL, status, file count, size, labels, and password protection state.deployments_setUpdate deployment labels. Replaces all existing labels.deployments_deletePermanently deletes a deployment and its files.domains_setCreate or update a custom domain. Can reserve a name (omit deployment), link it to a deployment, switch deployments, or update labels. domains_records then returns the DNS records to configure.domains_listList all domains with their URLs, linked deployment, and `status`. The response's `cursor` is null on the last page; pass it back as `cursor` to fetch the next.domains_getGet domain details including URL, linked deployment, labels, and `status`: the one word saying what the domain needs from its owner (`unverified`, `unlinked`, `live`, `paused`).domains_recordsReturns the DNS records to configure at the domain's DNS provider. Call after domains_set. Custom domains only: a ShipStatic domain has no records to configure.domains_dnsReturns the DNS provider recorded for the domain, if known (e.g. Cloudflare, Namecheap): where its DNS records are configured. Custom domains only, and only while the domain is unverified; once its DNS is right there is nothing left to locate.domains_shareReturns a shareable DNS setup URL that needs no API key, for whoever manages the domain's DNS. Custom domains only, and only while the domain is unverified; a verified domain has no setup left to share.domains_validateCheck if a domain name is valid and available before creating it. Returns the normalized form and availability.- +3 more on the listing page
