var allDomains = await dynadot.listDomains()

setNameserver(domain,['ns1','ns2'...])

await dynadot.setNameserver('temp.com',['ns1.com','ns2.com'])

registerDomain(domainName,durationYears, currency='USD',allowPremium=false, coupon=false)

await dynadot.registerDomain('yourdomain.com',1)
// success
{"RegisterHeader":{"SuccessCode":"0","Status":"success"},"RegisterContent":{"Expiration":"1738627199000"}}
// errors
