Confused on parameters for XML-API in 11.25

[ozace]

Hi,
I am coding a DNS update routine under 11.25 and using the new XML-API DNS calls.

I am confused over the parameters zone and name and domain. Across the addzonerecord, removezonerecord and editzonerecord there appears to be some differences in use - or maybe I am reading it wrong?


For addzonerecord it states:

zone (string) — Name of the zone to be added, expressed like a domain name. Example: example.com
but also:
name (string) — The name of the zone record
so is the zone the domain name and the name the hostname ?

For removezonerecord it states:

zone (string) — The domain name whose zone record you wish to remove
so in this case the zone is the domain name ?

For editzonerecord it states:

domain (string) — The domain name whose zone record you wish to edit.
It doesnt mention zone as a variable except in the example inputs ? Should I specify zone and domain ?
and
name (string) — Domain name. Example: example.com
is this the hostname ?

Hope this question makes sense and I hope someone can clear my thick brain on this

cheers

As a follow up and while logged into the WHM I tried this:

https://mydomain.com:2087/xml-api/editzonerecord?type=ns&name="floppychops.com."&Line=12&nsdname=ns2.myns.com.au&ttl=86400&zone="floppychops.com"&domain="floppychops.com"

getting this error:

- <editzonerecord>
- <result>
<status>0</status>
<statusmsg>Invalid domain specified.</statusmsg>
</result>
</editzonerecord>

The line # is correct.
What I am trying to do is to update the nameserver record at line 12 at floppychops.com to point to ns2.myns.com.au

Any help ?

Guess not - suppose this are is a touch new. I will place a support request to cpanel on the example

Hey jim

You should really try their api call debugger logger. It's helped me tremendously while extending Matt's xml-api class in php.

Looking up cPanel API call parameters
