Switch a gateway on

POST
/domains/{domain}/gateways/{gatewayId}/apply
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.nsin.ir/domains/example.com/gateways/1/apply \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "name": "my-chatgpt" }'

Creates the gateway’s record on this domain and returns it. The record is proxied through the NSIN edge and counts against your plan’s record limit, but it is not editable — updating or deleting it through the DNS record endpoints returns 403. Use the rename and delete endpoints below instead.

Send a name to choose the hostname yourself; omit the body entirely and one is generated as <slug>-<5 digits>.

A gateway can be on at most once per domain. Requires records.edit.

domain
required
string

The domain name (for example example.com) — not a numeric id.

Example
example.com
gatewayId
required
integer

Numeric id of the gateway, from the gateway list.

Media type application/json
object
name
required

Hostname relative to the domain — letters, digits and hyphens. Wildcards and @ are rejected. On apply this field is optional; leave it out and a name is generated for you.

string
Example
my-chatgpt

Gateway switched on; the created record.

Media type application/json
object
id
integer
name

Record name relative to the domain. @ is the apex.

string
original_name

The fully-qualified name, with trailing dot.

string
type
string
Allowed values: A AAAA CNAME ANAME NS TXT MX SRV PTR CAA TLSA SSHFP URI
destination

The record’s value. For a proxied record this is the origin the edge connects to, and the published DNS answer is the NSIN proxy IP instead — see dns_content.

string
dns_content

What is actually published in DNS. Equals the proxy IP for proxied records.

string
ttl

TTL in seconds.

integer
proxied

Route this hostname through the NSIN edge. Only A, AAAA, CNAME and ANAME may be proxied.

boolean
captcha

Challenge visitors before passing them to the origin.

boolean
editable

False for records NSIN manages on your behalf.

boolean
user_id
integer
domain_id
integer
scheme

Protocol the edge uses to reach the origin for a proxied record. Default follows the request’s own scheme; Auto probes.

string
Allowed values: Http Https Auto Default
port

Origin port for proxied records. Default: 443.

integer
host_header

Overrides the Host header (and SNI) sent to the origin.

string
monitor

Include this record in uptime monitoring.

boolean
dest_country

ISO country code of the destination, detected by NSIN.

string
timeout

How long an edge node waits for the origin to start responding before returning 504, in seconds. Default 15, maximum 1800 (30 minutes). Only applies to proxied records.

integer
default: 15 >= 1 <= 1800
mx_priority

Only meaningful for MX.

integer
<= 65535
comment

Free-form note.

string
<= 1024 characters
created_at
string format: date-time
updated_at
string format: date-time
Example
{
"name": "www",
"original_name": "www.example.com.",
"type": "A",
"scheme": "Http",
"timeout": 15
}

Missing, malformed, revoked or expired API key — or the owning account is inactive.

Media type application/json

The single error shape used by every endpoint.

object
error
required

Human-readable description of what went wrong.

string
Examples
Example invalidKey
{
"error": "invalid API key"
}

Insufficient permission, no active plan, or the plan’s record limit is already reached.

Media type application/json

The single error shape used by every endpoint.

object
error
required

Human-readable description of what went wrong.

string
Example
{
"error": "read-only API key"

Domain not found, or no such gateway is on offer.

Media type application/json

The single error shape used by every endpoint.

object
error
required

Human-readable description of what went wrong.

string
Example
{
"error": "read-only API key"
}

The domain is disabled, uses external DNS (error_code: external_dns), or this gateway is already on — in that last case the response carries the existing record under record.

Media type application/json

The single error shape used by every endpoint.

object
error
required

Human-readable description of what went wrong.

string
Example
{
"error": "read-only API key"
}

The key exceeded its request budget (300 requests per minute by default).

Media type application/json

The single error shape used by every endpoint.
