field type description
zoneId string the id of the zone to which this recordset belongs
name string The name of the RecordSet
type string Type of DNS record, supported records are currently: A, AAAA, CNAME, DS, MX, NAPTR, NS, PTR, SOA, SRV, TXT, SSHFP, and SPF. Unsupported types will be given the type UNKNOWN
ttl long the TTL in seconds for the recordset
status string Active - RecordSet is added is created and ready for use, Inactive - RecordSet effects are not applied, Pending - RecordSet is queued for creation, PendingUpdate - RecordSet is queued for update, PendingDelete - RecordSet is queued for delete
created date-time The timestamp (UTC) when the recordset was created
updated date-time The timestamp (UTC) when the recordset was last updated
records Array of RecordData Array of record data, a single RecordSet can have multiple DNS records as long as they are all the same type
id string the id of the recordset. This is important as you will use it for other recordset operations

RECORD DATA INFORMATION

Current supported record types are: A, AAAA, CNAME, DS, MX, NAPTR, NS, PTR, SOA, SRV, TXT, SSHFP, and SPF. Each individual record encodes its data in a record data object, in which each record type has different required attributes

SOA records and NS origin records (record with the same name as the zone) are currently read-only and cannot be created, updated or deleted. Non-origin NS records can be created or updated for approved name servers only. Any non-origin NS record can be deleted.

RECORD DATA EXAMPLE

Each record is a map that must include all attributes for the data type, the records are stored in the records field of the RecordSet. The records must be an array of at least one record map. All records in the records array must be of the type stored in the typ field of the RecordSet

Use the @ symbol to point to the zone origin

CNAME records cannot point to the zone origin, thus the RecordSet name cannot be @ nor the zone origin

Individual SSHFP record:

{
    "type": "SSHFP",
    "zoneId": "8f8f649f-998e-4428-a029-b4ba5f5bd4ca",
    "name": "foo",
    "ttl": 38400,
    "status": "Active",
    "created": "2017-02-22T21:34:35Z",
    "records": [
        {
            "algorithm": 1,
            "type": 3,
            "fingerprint": "560c7d19d5da9a3a5c7c19992d1fbde15d8dad31"
        }
    ],
    "id": "8306cce4-e16a-4579-9b19-4af46dc75853",
    "account": "b34f8d18-646f-4843-a80a-7c0d58a22bf5"
}

Multiple SSHFP records:

{

    "name": "foo",
    "ttl": 38400,
