zone_name

String

Zone name of the record set

type

String

Record set type.

  • Public zones: The type can be A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, NS, SRV or CAA.

  • Private zones: The value can be A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT or SRV.

ttl

Integer

records

Array of strings

Record set value

create_at

String

Time when the record set was created.

Format: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS

update_at

String

Time when the record set was updated.

Format: yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS

status

String

Resource status

default

Boolean

Whether the record set is generated by the system. A system-generated record set cannot be deleted.

project_id

String

Project ID of the record set

links

pageLink object

Link of the current resource or other related resources. When a response is broken into pages, a next link is provided to retrieve all results.
