Create a DNS record

POST
/domains/{domain}/records/
 
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.nsin.ir/domains/example.com/records/ \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "name": "example", "type": "A", "destination": "example", "mx_priority": 1, "proxied": false, "captcha": false, "scheme": "Http", "port": 443, "host_header": "example", "monitor": true, "dest_country": "example", "timeout": 15, "comment": "example" }'

Creates one record and publishes it to the DNS zone.

Setting proxied: true routes the hostname through the NSIN edge: the published DNS answer becomes the NSIN proxy IP and destination becomes the origin the edge connects to. Only A, AAAA, CNAME and ANAME can be proxied. Requires records.edit.
