Perform PUT Request for Non-Existing Records
If you have an infrastructure that uses public DNS records and manage it by defining the required state, you can use Cloud DNS as follows:
- 1.
- 2.Generate a UUID (v3, v4, and v5 supported) for your DNS record.
- 3.Add to your infrastructure a PUT call for the desired record configuration with your UUID and assign it to the corresponding DNS zone ID.
Result: On a successful PUT request,
- If the record does not exist, Cloud DNS creates the record with the specified configuration.
- If a record already exists but with a different configuration, the record is updated.
curl --location --request PUT 'https://dns.de-fra.ionos.com/zones/2a4428b3-dbe0-4357-9c02-609025b3a40f/records/90d81ac0-3a30-44d4-95a5-12959effa6ee' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJraWQiO' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
