What is the name of the domain?

gardeniers.com

What is the error number?

N/A

What is the error message?

Authentication failed

What is the issue you’re encountering

Attempting to update a n A record using the API but the documentation leaves quite a bit to be desired and there are no functional examples.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I’ve verified my API key works for grabbing the DNS entries. In the API docs it’s anything but clear what the “dns-record-id” is. If it’s an ID, where do I find it? Seriously, some actual complete examples would not go astray.

I’ve also tried to use my API key with the dnsupdate app but that fails as well.

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS records

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

As above.

You will need to list the DNS records to get the ID using this endpoint…

By default it will return all the records. You can use the search parameters to specify which ones you want.

I managed to get somewhere. I’m sure the docs were writing by a cryptologist. Again, some complete and functional examples would be a welcome addition.
