    Hello,

    I need to update a single "A" record in the DNS for a domain. The 'trick' is that I can only use a single URL. Is this possible?

    For example, something simple like this:

    /api/?pw=pass&un=user&hostname=my.domain.com&ip=newip

    Unfortunately, I'm not able to do the update with a script or anything like that... I can only specify a single URL.

    Thanks!

    Hello :)

    You could utilize ZoneEdit::edit_zone_record as documented here:

    cPanel API2 - ZoneEdit

    For information on how to construct a URL to perform an API call, read our API Shell for cPanel documentation.

    Thank you.
