DomainReminder: TransIP domain renewal dates to Apple Calendar.

This program is a must have for domain traders. This program retrieves the data from your domains via TransIP API. Including the renewal dates. Because a merchant often forgets to cancel a domain before the expiry of the period, it would be useful if these dates are recorded in your calendar. So that you receive a timely reminder whether you want to renew or terminate a domain This script saves all dates in your calendar and sets a default notification 14 days before the renewal date of your domain

Here’s why:

• Because all the data is collected by the TransIP API you always have the correct data.
• Never forget to cancel a domain, this includes also a cancel script, so for quick cancelling from your computer
• Create a new agenda twice a year , and have always up to date calendar items
• Have the calendar items on all your devices trough Apple’s Icloud ( script is for OSX )

Anyways a good script for domain traders , but it can also applied on other services with api ( you need to change one or two things ). For a small price i will be available for that.
