Request

Parameter description

**Table 2** Parameters in the request
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
name	Yes	String	Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) suffixed with a zone name, which is a complete host name ended with a dot A domain name is case insensitive. Uppercase letters will also be converted into lowercase letters.
description	No	String	(Optional) Description of the domain name The value cannot exceed 255 characters. If this parameter is left blank, the value will not be changed. The value is left blank by default.
type	Yes	String	Record set type The value can be A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, NS, SRV, or CAA. For details, see Record Set Type.
ttl	No	Integer	Record set cache duration (in seconds) on a local DNS server. The longer the duration is, the slower the update takes effect. If your service address is frequently changed, set TTL to a smaller value. Value range: Public zone: 1–2147483647 Private zone: 300–2147483647 If this parameter is left blank, the value will not be changed. The value is left blank by default.
records	No	Array of strings	Value of the record set. The value format varies depending on record set types. For example, the value of an AAAA record set is the IPv6 address list mapped to the domain name.
weight	No	Integer	Weight of the record set When the value is left blank, the original weight of the record set is not changed. If the weight is set to 0, the record set is a secondary one. If the weight is larger than 0, the record set is a primary one. The value ranges from 0 to 1000. The value is left blank by default. You can create a maximum of 20 record sets with the same name, type, and resolution line but different weight values.
