How to add a DNS record to a domain using the WHM API?

Introduction

You can add a DNS entry to a domain using the addzonerecord WHM API call. You could use this API call to make changes to your customer's domains through the command line.

Procedure

The addzonerecord API call requires # parameters,domain ,name, and type, class  . If you wanted to add a TXT record named test to a domain the command would look like this:

[root@b ~]# whmapi1 addzonerecord domain=example.com name=test.example.com class=IN ttl=86400 type=TXT txtdata="Test"
---
metadata:
command: addzonerecord
reason: OK
result: 1
version: 1

The command I ran also included txtdata , this is a required portion of a TXT record . Each DNS record type has it's own requirements. More information can be found in the WHM API documentation :
