Introduction

This is the NS1 API (v1) documentation which provides you with the necessary tools for managing zone, records, data sources and feeds, account settings, and any other aspects of your NS1 account. The NS1 API is a standard REST API with JSON responses. The HTTP method you use — GET, PUT, POST, or DELETE — determines the type of action to be taken by the API. Generally, in the case of PUT and POST requests, you will send a JSON body in the request with details about the resource you're creating or updating.

Most API requests are authenticated with a simple API Key, which you must specify in the X-NSONE-Key request header. You can manage your API Keys in the Managed DNS portal (my.nsone.net) or within your Private DNS/DDI portal. You should treat your API Keys as secrets. You should also give them only the minimal access needed for your application.

If you have any questions or experience any issues while using the API, please submit a support ticket or send an email to [email protected].

User

GET /v1/account/users

GETView all account users

Returns a list of all users with access to the account. Notification settings (notify) and access restrictions (permissions) are included. If any specific access right is omitted from permissionsthen it defaults to true (allowed). In the example below, "New User" is only allowed to manage the example.com zone and can do nothing else in the account; "API Example" has full permissions.

Users may belong to "Teams" in which case they inherit the permissions of the Teams. If a user belongs to multiple Teams, then they inherit the union of permissions of the Teams they belong to. For example, if a user belongs to two Teams, and one Team has the dns.manage_zones permission and the other does not, then the user will have that permission.

If a user does not belong to any Teams, then their permissions may be modified directly and are just for them. If a user does belong to one or more Teams, then the permissions returned with the user are the computed permissions from all the Teams to which they belong and may not be modified directly (instead, modify the relevant Team permissions).

PUT /v1/account/users

PUTCreate a new user

Creates a new user within the current NS1 account.

If adding a user to your Managed DNS account, executing this command will automatically send an invitation email to the user's email address. Users can click to set a password and log into https://my.nsone.net. The user cannot log into their Managed DNS account until they accept the invitation and set a password.

If adding a user to your Enterprise DDI account, an invite token is included in the response (next to invite_token). Provide this invite token to the user and instruct them to go to the invite URL (ex. http://{portal.mycompany.net}/#/invite/{invite_token} replacing portal.mycompany.net with your specific DDI portal FQDN). The user will set the password on this webpage.

Important note about API key security: NS1 recommends restricting access to your API key and reducing permissions only to include what the application requires. Keep your API key secret. If it is compromised, delete the API key immediately. Restrict access to this key by applying IP addresses or CIDR blocks in the ip_whitelist property (ex. ip_whitelist: ['104.20.48.182', '104.20.49.0/24']).

Request Body Parameters:

usernamestring(Required) Username for the new account user. Must be between 3-64 characters.

Copy CodeCreate an API Key that can only view one zone

curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY' -d '{"name":"My Application", "permissions":{"dns":{"view_zones":true, "manage_zones":false, "zones_allow_by_default":false, "zones_allow":["example.com"]}, "account":{"manage_account_settings":false, "manage_payment_methods":false, "manage_plan":false, "manage_teams":false, "manage_users":false, "manage_apikeys":false, "view_activity_log":false, "view_invoices":false}, "data":{"manage_datasources":false, "manage_datafeeds":false, "push_to_datafeeds":false}, "monitoring":{"manage_lists":false, "manage_jobs":false, "view_jobs":false} }}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/account/apikeys

You must explicitly deny permissions you do not want a new API Key (or User) to have. Since zones_allow_by_default is false, the user will have access only to zones in zones_allow. We grant this user access to example.com only — and since they only have view_zones access, they can only look at the zone's configuration and stats, and can make no changes.

POST /v1/account/apikeys/:keyid

POSTEdit an API key

Updates the settings for the API key specified in the URL path by its unique keyID and returns the API key string in the key field in the response.

Important note about API key security: NS1 recommends restricting access to your API key and reducing permissions only to include what the application requires. Keep your API key secret. If it is compromised, delete the API key immediately. Restrict access to this key by applying IP addresses or CIDR blocks in the ip_whitelist property (ex. ip_whitelist: ['104.20.48.182', '104.20.49.0/24']).

Path Parameters:

keyIdstringUnique identifier for the API key. This value is returned in the response after creating an API key and can be viewed by executing an API call to view API key details.


Request Body Parameters:

ip_whitelist_restrictbooleanSet to true to restrict access to only those IP addresses and networks listed in the ip_whitelist field.
namestringName of the API key you are creating (2-64 characters).
ip_whitelistarray of stringsArray of IP addresses/networks to which to grant the API key access. Optionally, set the ip_whitelist_restrict field to true to restrict access to only those IP addresses/networks listed in this field.
teamsarray of stringsOne or more team IDs corresponding to teams with which this API key is associated. If assigned to a team, the API key inherits the permissions set for that team.
permissionsobjectAll supported permissions
accountobject(part of permissions object) Group of account-related permissions.
manage_account_settingsboolean(part of account object) Allows (or prevents, if false) the API key to manage account settings.
manage_teamsboolean(part of account object) Allows (or prevents, if false) the API key to create or update teams.

manage_auth_tagsboolean(part of account object) Allows (or prevents, if false) the API key to create and edit authorization of ('auth:') tags. Auth tags determine access controls to view or manage resources. Auth tags control access, so the API key must also have the 'manage_auth_keys' permission set to true.
manage_serviceboolean(part of account object) Allows (or prevents, if false) the API key to create and modify services. (DDI only)
view_serviceboolean(part of account object) Allows (or prevents, if false) the API key to view services. (DDI only)

tags_allowarray of objects(part of dhcp object) List of DHCP tag permission specifiers used to grant access for the API key to specific objects containing the same tag. Each tag includes a name (required) and a value (optional). If just a name is provided, the API key will have access to those objects with the matching name. If both a name and value are provided, both must match in order to grant access.
tags_denyarray of objects(part of dhcp object) List of DHCP tag permission specifiers used to deny access for the API key to specific objects containing the same tag. Each tag includes a name (required) and a value (optional). If just a name is provided, the API key will be denied access to those objects with the matching name.

dnsobject(part of permissions object) Group of DNS-related permissions.
manage_zonesboolean(part of dns object) Allows (or prevents, if false) the API key to create or modify zones.
view_zonesboolean(part of dns object) Allows (or prevents, if false) the API key to view zones.
zones_allow_by_defaultboolean(part of dns object) Set to true to allow access to all zones except for those listed under zones_deny. Set to false to deny access to all zones by default except for those listed under zones_allow.
zones_allowarray of strings(part of dns object) List of specific zones to which the API key is allowed access. If zones_allow_by_default property is set to false, the zones listed next to the zones_allow property are the only zones accessible to the API key.

PUT /v1/account/teams

PUTCreate a new team

Creates a new team within the current NS1 account. After creating the team, you can associate users and API keys with this team by adding the team ID to the team property within the user and API key objects. All users and API keys associated with the team will inherit the permissions set at the team level and all permission settings applied to the individual user or key are ignored.

Important note about API key security: NS1 recommends restricting access to your API key and reducing permissions only to include what the application requires. Keep your API key secret. If it is compromised, delete the API key immediately. Restrict access to this key by applying IP addresses or CIDR blocks in the ip_whitelist property. In contrast to the user and API key objects, teams support names on the whitelist records (i.e. ip_whitelist: [ {'name': 'Home Whitelist', 'values': ['104.20.48.182'], {'name': 'Multi Whitelist', 'values': ['104.20.49.0/24', '104.20.50.1']} ]).

GET /v1/account/invoices/{invoiceID}

GETDownload an invoice

The invoice is returned in PDF format. This method will directly return a PDF. The Content-Type and Content-Dispositionheaders will be set accordingly. However, if there is an error, the usual JSON error will be returned.

There are certain cases, such as in some browsers, where you will be unable to send the X-NSONE-Key authentication header to download a file intended to be saved to the user's filesystem, due to restrictions on some kinds of AJAX/XHR requests. In this case, you may use an alternative authentication mechanism for this method: add an authtoken parameter to the URL, consisting of a SHA1 hash of the concatenation of the API Key, the invoice id, and the sent field from /account/invoices for the invoice (as a string). For example: sha1('qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8101373985364').

POSTMake a payment method the default

Calling this method — with no request body — sets the requested payment method as the default one, and it will be charged for future invoices. You may not modify other details associated with an existing payment method — add a new one instead. There is no response other than the HTTP status code.

Request URL:

https://api.nsone.net/v1/account/paymentmethods/:id

Example URL:

https://api.nsone.net/v1/account/paymentmethods/8273


ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired?

DELETE https://api.nsone.net/v1/account/paymentmethods/id

DELETEDelete a payment method

Deletes a credit card. You may not delete the last credit card from the account — add another one first. There is no response other than the HTTP status code.

Activity Log

GET https://api.nsone.net/v1/account/activity?limit=&start=&end=&resource_type=&user=&resource_id=

GETView account activity log

Returns entries from the account activity log. By default, the most recent 20 entries are returned — get more by setting limit. You can also restrict the results to entries later than some start (Unix timestamp) or earlier than some end. If you specify a resource_type, only entries for resources of that type are returned. You may also restrict by user and resource_id. Activity log entries include a user_type which is one of "user", "apikey", or "system" depending on where the activity came from, and for "user" and "apikey" activity, the user_id is the username or API Key id, respectively. For "create" and "update" actions, any resource details are for the resource after the action is taken; for "delete" actions, any such details show the resource as it was prior to deletion.

PUT /v1/zones/:zone

PUT Create a new zone

You must include a JSON body in the request with basic zone details. The only required element in the body is "zone", the zone fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). You can create a standard zone (which has its own configuration and records), a linked zone (pointing to an existing standard zone, reusing its configuration and records), or a secondary zone (which replicates DNS records from an external primary DNS server).

For non-linked zones, you may specify optional zone configuration by including TTL (SOA record TTL), refresh, retry, expiry, and nx_ttl values, as in a SOA record. Refer to the Help Center article, "Best practices: TTL configuration" for more information. The zone is assigned DNS servers and appropriate NS records are automatically created unless you create a secondary zone.

Linked zones

To create a linked zone, you must include a link property in the body of your request. It must be a string referencing the target zone (domain name) to which the current zone should link. The linked zone and target zone must be owned by the same account. If the link property is specified, no other zone configuration properties (including refresh, retry, etc.) may be specified as they are inherited from the target zone. After creating a linked zone, it cannot be modified and you cannot add records to it. You can delete the linked zone with no impact to the target zone.

Secondary zones

To create a secondary zone, you must include a secondary object in the body of your request including the following fields:

  • enabled - [true/false] If true, the zone is configured as a secondary zone
  • primary_ip - An IPv4 address (not a hostname) of the zone's primary DNS server. If your primary DNS server is running on a non-standard port, you may also include primary_port.

Zone replication

To enable zone replication by third-party DNS servers, you must include a primary object in the body of your request including the following fields:

  • enabled - [true/false] If true, AXFR queries (and optionally NOTIFY messages) will be enabled for the zone.
  • secondaries - a list of objects each containing:
    • ip - IPv4 address of the secondary node
    • port - (Optional) The port on the host to send NOTIFYmessages (default = 53)
    • notify - [true/false] If true, NS1 will send NOTIFY messages to the secondary host upon zone changes.

If your account has access to multiple DNS networks, you may pass in networks, a list of network ids for which the zone should be made available. If you do not provide a list of networks, the zone will be created in network 0, the primary NSONE Global Network. DNS servers will be selected and assigned from among all the networks you specify.

Path Parameters:

zonestring(Required) FQDN of the zone you are creating. Note for DDI users: You may have multiple zone names associated with the same zone (FQDN).

Request Body Paramters:

namestring(DDI only) Vanity name for the zone used for associating the zone with DNS views. If left undefined, the zone name defaults to the zone FQDN. You can have multiple zone names associated with the same zone (FQDN).
viewsstring(DDI only) Name of the DNS view(s) with which this zone is associated.
networksarray of integersIf you account has access to multiple DNS networks, you may pass a list of network IDs for which the zone should be made available. If not set, the zone is created in network 0 (primary NSONE Global Network). DNS servers will be selected and assigned across all the networks you specify.
expiryintegerIf refresh and Retry fail repeatedly, this is the time period after which the primary should be considered down and no longer authoritative for the given zone.
nx_ttlintegerIn the event that the DNS query results in an NXDOMAIN error, because the domain name does not exist (and this is also true for all names under it), or in an EBOT (aka NODATA) response, this is the length of time that the ‘negative’ answer should be cached for.
primaryobjectApplied to support zone replication by third-party DNS servers.
enabledboolean(Required; part of the primary object) If true, AXFR queries (and optionally NOTIFY messages) will be enabled for the zone.
secondariesarray of objects(Required if set to primary; part of the primary object) An array of objects to define secondary nodes
ipstring(Included in the secondaries array) IPv4 address of the secondary zone.
notifyboolean(Included in the secondaries array) If set to "true," NS1 will send NOTIFY messages to the secondary host upon zone changes.
portinteger(Included in the secondaries array) The port on the host to send NOTIFY messages. Default is 53.
refreshintegerThe interval at which secondary DNS servers are set to refresh the zone file from the primary server.
retryintegerThe rate at which a secondary DNS servers will retry to refresh the zone file if the initial refresh failed.
ttlintegerThe interval at which the SOA record itself is refreshed.
tagsobjectsAll local and inherited tags. Local tags are tags set directly on objects. Inherited tags are inherited from parent objects. For each tag, you must indicate the property name and (optionally) specify a corresponding value (i.e. "{property_name}":"{value}"). Tags specified here are inherited by any child subnets/addresses.

POST /v1/zones/:zone

POST Edit a zone

Modifies the basic details of a DNS zone. You must include a JSON body in the request, in which you may include ttl (SOA record TTL), refresh, retry, expiry, or nx_ttl values, as in a SOA record. You may not change the zone name or other details.

If you are modifying a secondary zone, you can change the primary_ip and primary_port. You can also change enabled in the secondary object to convert a zone between primary and secondary behavior. Note that when converting a secondary to a primary zone, you must create a NS record for the zone with the assigned NSONE nameservers.

You can enable or disable replication from the primary zone, as well as add or remove secondary (replica) hosts by manipulating the primary object.

You may modify the set of DNS networks for which the zone should be made available. Note that if you remove a network from a zone, and later re-add it, then new nameservers will be assigned within that network. You may remove all networks from a zone, in which case the zone will not be accessible from any DNS network.

Path Parameters:

zonestring(Required) FQDN of the zone you are creating. Note for DDI users: You may have multiple zoneNames associated with the same zone (FQDN).

Request Body Paramters:

viewsstring(DDI only) Name of the DNS view(s) with which this zone is associated.

portinteger(Included in the secondaries array) The port on the host to send NOTIFY messages. Default is 53.
refreshintegerThe interval at which secondary DNS servers are set to refresh the zone file from the primary server.
retryintegerThe rate at which a secondary DNS servers will retry to refresh the zone file if the initial refresh failed.
ttlintegerThe interval at which the SOA record itself is refreshed.
tagsobjectsAll local and inherited tags. Local tags are tags set directly on objects. Inherited tags are inherited from parent objects. For each tag, you must indicate the property name and (optionally) specify a corresponding value (i.e. "{property_name}":"{value}"). Tags specified here are inherited by any child subnets/addresses.

DELETE /v1/zones/:zone

DELETE Delete a zone

Deletes an existing DNS zone and all of its associated records.

Note: NS1 servers will not respond to queries for the zone or any of the records after it is deleted, and you cannot recover the deleted zone. There is no request body required, and there is no response other than the HTTP status code.

Request URL:

https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/:zone

Example URL:

https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired?
zoneStringYes

PUT /v1/import/zonefile/:zone

PUT Import a zone from a zone file

Upload a zone file using form encoding (multipart/form-data) with the zone file as the content of the zonefile form parameter. The zone must not already exist in your account. Upon upload, the zone and all records within the zone file are created. Any "round-robin" records (e.g., multiple A records for the same domain) are treated as answers for a single record in your account. Existing NS records are replaced, as are some details of SOA records.

There are two modes: synchronous (default) and asynchronous.

  • In asynchronous mode, you must check back with a GET request using the returned job id to get the results of your request.
  • In synchronous mode, the connection remains open until the results can be returned to you directly. Full details of the new zone and all records are returned; a warnings field contains a list of strings with any warnings from the zone file import process.

Upon import, the zone is made available only on the NSONE Global Network (network 0). If your account has access to other DNS networks, and you wish to make the zone available via those networks, simply add them to the zone after importing the zone file.

Records

GET /v1/zones/:zone/:domain/:type

GETView record details

Returns full configuration for a DNS record including basic config, answers, regions, filter chain configuration, and all metadata tables and data feeds attached to entities in the record. (Note that regions might be any specified grouping, not necessarily a geo-related region. For this reason, the NS1 web portal at my.nsone.net uses the word "group" instead of "region".)

You must fully specify zone, domain, and record type, e.g., example.com/www.example.com/A returns the A record for www.example.com in the example.com zone.

Path Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
zonestring(Required) Name of the zone within which this record is located. (ex. example.com)
domainstring(Required) Domain name (ex. www.example.com)
typestring(Required) The type of record whose details you are requesting (ex. A).

PUT /v1/zones/:zone/:domain/:type

PUTCreate a DNS record

Creates a new DNS record in the specified zone, for the specified domain, of the given record type. Currently supported record types are: A, AAAA, ALIAS, AFSDB, CERT, CNAME, DNAME, HINFO, MX, NAPTR, NS, PTR, RP, SPF, SRV, TXT, URLFWD. The answer field within each entry in the answers list must be a list of the RDATA fields for a DNS record of the specified type.

You may not create multiple records of the same type for the same domain name in a zone — instead, add new answers to the existing record. The default behavior if no filters are in the filter chain is to return all answers matching a query.

Metadata tables (meta) may be specified in answers, in regions or in the record as a whole. (Note that regions can be any kind of group, not just geo-related. For this reason, the NS1 web portal at my.nsone.net uses the word "group" instead of "region".) The metadata tables may contain key/value pairs where valid keys and values are as described in the output of /metatypes.

Anywhere metadata tables can go, data feeds can go as well. Connect a compatible feed to a metadata key by assigning its value to be a JSON object pointing to the data feed that should be consulted for the final value.

The new record will take on the same networks as the zone it's in.

Instead of specifying answers and other details, you may create a "linked" record. This allows you reuse the configuration (including answers and metadata) from an existing record in NSONE's systems. Linked records will respond in the exact same way as their targets at DNS resolution time, and can be used for maintaining complicated record configurations in a single record while pointing (linking) other lightweight records to it. Linked records must point to another record of the exact same record type and do not have to exist in the same zone.

To create a linked record, specify the link property as a string whose contents is the FQDN containing the config it should link to. If link is specified, no other record configuration (such as answers or meta) should be specified.

Path Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
zonestring(Required) Name of the zone within which this record is located. (ex. example.com)
domainstring(Required) Domain name (ex. www.example.com)
typestring(Required) The type of record whose details you are requesting (ex. A).

Copy CodeCreates a simple A record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d '{"zone":"example.com", "domain":"arecord.example.com", "type":"A", "answers":[{"answer":["1.2.3.4"]}]}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/arecord.example.com/A

(RFC 1035) The most common DNS record used, an A record maps a hostname to an IPv4 address (ex. 33.22.33.44). All zones must contain an A record in order for users to access a website or application using its hostname as opposed to memorizing the IPv4 address.

Copy CodeCreates a linked A record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d '{"zone":"example.com", "domain":"linked-record.example.com", "type":"A", "link":"arecord.example2.com", "answers": []}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/linked-record.example.com/A

Using a linked record avoids the timely and error-prone tasks of manually creating and maintaining identical configurations across multiple records. Linked records tell the NS1 authoritative server to use the full configuration from a target record that exists somewhere else on the NS1 platform. Note: The target record does not need to be in the same zone as the linked record.

For example, a CDN using NS1 DNS services can instruct its customer (who is also using NS1) to use a linked record to point to the customer’s domain at the CDN, instead of a CNAME. This eliminates DNS round trips and (for A or AAAA records) allows direct resolution at the zone apex. A linked record can be any record type (A, MX, CNAME, etc.), but it must be the same types as a target or it will not resolve.

Compared to a CNAME record, a linked record typically requires one less DNS lookup—often shortening the response time for the requesting resolver or user to receive the final answer.

Linked records are specific to NS1, and their resolution is a completely internal process. During resolution, the full configuration from the target record (including advanced configuration options) is duplicated into the source record such that (other than the name of the record) they resolve identically. DNS recursors making the query will not be able to differentiate between a linked record and the “real” target to which it points. Linked records support all NS1 features and capabilities used by the target record—including real-time data feeds.

Refer to this article for more information.

Copy CodeCreates an MX record with multiple answers

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d '{"zone":"example.com", "domain":"example.com", "type":"MX", "answers":[{"answer":[5, "mail1.example.com"]}, {"answer":[10, "mail2.example.com"]}]}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/example.com/MX

(RFC 1035, RFC 7505) Mail exchange (MX) records are used to direct emails sent to your domain. MX records, coupled with a mail server, provide organizations (employees, clients, etc.) with emails the organization's domain, such as support@ns1.com. If you have multiple mail servers configured, you can add multiple MX records with varying priorities.

Copy CodeCreates a record with GEOTARGET_REGIONAL

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d '{"zone":"example.com", "domain":"georegion.example.com", "type":"A", "answers":[{"answer":["1.1.1.1"], "meta":{"georegion":["US-EAST"]}}, {"answer":["9.9.9.9"], "meta":{"georegion":["US-WEST"]}}], "filters":[{"filter":"geotarget_regional", "config":{}}, {"filter":"select_first_n", "config":{"N":1}}]}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/georegion.example.com/A

This creates an A record with two answers: a server (1.1.1.1) in the US-EAST geotargeting region, and a server (9.9.9.9) in the US-WEST geotargeting region. We also add the GEOTARGET_REGIONALfilter first in the filter chain (it needs no configuration); and follow it with the SELECT_FIRST_N filter with N set to 1, which picks the closest answer.

Copy CodeCreates an A record with the DHCP filter

curl -L -X PUT https://api.mycompany.net/v1/zones/docker.local/*.docker.local/A -H "X-NSONE-Key: $APIKEY" -d '{     "zone": "docker.local",     "domain": "*.docker.local",     "type": "A",     "answers": [         {             "answer": [                 "127.0.0.1"             ]         }     ],     "filters": [         {             "filter": "dhcp",             "config": {                      "scope_group_id": 1                     }                 }             ] }'

For the purposes of implementing first-party DDNS, this creates a wildcard A record in the forward zone. In this example, the forward zone is docker.local.

Copy CodeCreates a PTR record with the DHCP filter

curl -L -X PUT https://api.mycompany.net/v1/zones/11.18.172.in-addr.arpa/*.11.18.172.in-addr.arpa/PTR -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY"  -d '{     "zone": "11.18.172.in-addr.arpa",     "domain": "*.11.18.172.in-addr.arpa",     "type": "PTR",     "answers": [         {             "answer": [                 "*.hosts.docker.local"             ]         }     ],     "filters": [         {             "filter": "dhcp",             "config": {                      "scope_group_id": 1                     }                 }             ] }'

For the purposes of implementing first-party DDNS, this creates a wildcard PTR record in the reverse zone. In this example, the reverse zone is 11.18.172.in-addr.arpa.

(RFC 1035) Pointer (PTR) records are usually described as the opposite of an A record. Whereas A records point the domain to an IP address, a PTR record points an IP to a domain (ex. reverse zone lookups). This is often used as spam verification with certain email programs to confirm a mail server is authorized to use the domain from which the email was sent. PTR records usually have to be defined by the owner of the IP address for your server—usually your server hosts. Many hosting companies will set this up for you when you set up a server.

Copy CodeCreates a URLFWD record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/www.example.com/URLFWD -d '{"zone": "example.com", "domain": "www.example.com", "type": "URLFWD", "answers": [{"answer": ["/one", "http://one.com", 0, 0, 0]}, {"answer": ["/two", "http://two.com", 301, 1, 1]}, {"answer": ["/three", "http://three.com", 302, 2, 0]}]}'

where

  • zone is the name of the zone to which you want to add the URLFWD record
  • domain is the FQDN within the zone to which you want to add the URLFWD record
  • type is the type of record you are creating (in this case, URLFWD)
  • each answer specifies five values
    • "from" path (ex. /one , /two. /three) indicated by the query
    • domain (ex. http://one.com, etc.) to which you want to redirect the query
    • forwarding type; either 0 (masking), 301 (permanent), 302 (temporary)
    • query forwarding enabled or disabled; either 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled)

Similar structures can be used with GET or POST commands to retrieve or update the record. For more information, refer to the NS1 API documentation.

Refer to this article to learn more about URLFWD record configuration settings.

Note: URL forwarding must be enabled on your NS1 account in order to create URLFWD record. To enable this feature, contact the NS1 support team by submitting a ticket or emailing [email protected]

Copy CodeCreates a AAAA record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "aaaarecord.example.com", "type": "AAAA", "answers": [ { "answer": [ "dead:beef:cafe::1" ] } ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/aaaarecord.example.com/AAAA

(RFC 3596) AAAA records function in the same way as A records, except that they map hostnames to an IPv6 address (ex. FE80::0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329). The limited number of permutations possible for IPv4 addresses has resulted in recent growth in the number of IPv6 addresses being used.

Copy CodeCreates an AFSDB record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{   "zone": "example.com", "domain": "afsdbrecord.example.com", "type": "AFSDB", "answers": [ { "answer": [ 1, "arecord.example.com" ] } ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/afsdbrecord.example.com/AFSDB

(RFC 1183) AFSDB records are used to connect domain names to Andrew File System (AFS) servers. AFS is similar to NFS, but better suited to handle the latency of wide area networks (such as the internet) and locally caches files. The AFSDB record is key to this operation—providing the location to the file database.

Note: This record is experimental and not recognized by all services, and not all nameservers recognize or implement it. The AFSDB record type is deprecated and has been replaced by the SRV record.

Copy CodeCreates an ALIAS record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "aliasrecord.example.com", "type": "ALIAS",   "answers": [ { "answer": [ "arecord.example.com" ] } ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/aliasrecord.example.com/ALIAS

ALIAS is an NS1-specific record type. It is a pseudo-record that works like a CNAME record, but can be used safely at the zone apex because it always resolves to A (or AAAA) record(s). Resolution to the target is a completely internal process—DNS recursors making the query will not be able to differentiate between an ALIAS record and a “real” A (or AAAA) record. When queried, an ALIAS record will always return one or more A or AAAA records. Since ALIAS is a pseudo-record, the query result will never contain ALIAS. There is no good reason to use an ALIAS record outside of the zone apex. Since it requires an extra external lookup, resolution can be slower than a CNAME or linked record. Refer to this article for more information.

Copy CodeCreates a CAA record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "caarecord.example.com", "type": "CAA", "answers": [ { "answer": [ 0, "tag", "value" ] }   ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/caarecord.example.com/CAA

(RFC 6844) Domain owners can use DNS Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) records to specify which certificate authorities (CAs) are allowed to issue SSL certificates for their domains. A single domain may contain multiple CAA records. The CAA record prevents an unauthorized CA from issuing an SSL certificate for your domain—in other words, only the CA(s) authorized in the CAA record can issue an SSL certificate for your domain. CAA records specify the following fields:

CAA <flags> <tag> <value>

where

  • flags is an unsigned integer between 0 and 255
  • tag is a non-zero sequence of US-ASCII letters and numbers in lowercase.
  • value is the <character-string> encoding of the value field.

For example:

$ORIGIN example.com @ CAA 0 issue "ca.example.net" @ CAA 0 iodef "mailto:[email protected]" @ CAA 0 iodef "http://iodef.example.com/"

Copy CodeCreates a CERT record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "certrecord.example.com", "type": "CERT", "answers": [ { "answer": [ 3, 0, 0, "dGVzda==" ] }   ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/certrecord.example.com/CERT

(RFC 4398, 6944) CERT resource records provide a space in the DNS for certificates and related certificate revocation lists (CRLs). These certificates verify the authenticity of the sending and receiving parties. The CRLs identify the certificates that are no longer valid.

Copy CodeCreates a CNAME record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "cnamerecord.example.com", "type": "CNAME",   "answers": [ { "answer": [ "arecord.example.com" ] } ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/cnamerecord.example.com/CNAME

(RFC 1034, 2181) A Canonical Name (CNAME) record maps one domain name (an alias) to another (the canonical name). There may be only one such canonical name for any one alias. That name should generally be a name that exists elsewhere in the DNS, though there are some rare applications for aliases with the accompanying canonical name undefined in the DNS. An alias name (label of a CNAME record) may, if DNSSEC is in use, have SIG, NXT, and KEY RRs, but may have no other data. Refer to this article for more information.

Copy CodeCreates a DNAME record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "example.com", "type": "DNAME",   "answers": [ { "answer": [ "newzone.net" ] } ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/example.com/DNAME

(RFC 6672) As opposed to a CNAME record which maps only a single node, a DNAME record is used to redirect an entire subsection (or subtree) of the DNS namespace to another domain. Once implemented, all names that end with a particular suffix are redirected to another part of the DNS.

Copy CodeCreates a HINFO record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "hinforecord.example.com", "type": "HINFO", "answers": [ { "answer": [ "fancy", "potato" ] } ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/hinforecord.example.com/HINFO

(RFC 1035) Host information (HINFO) records are used to associate general information about a host’s CPU and OS with the host’s domain name. For example, if www.example.com was running Ubuntu 16.04 with a 3.2 GHz Intel CPU, this information can be made publicly available by creating an HINFO record with “PC-Intel-3200mhz” and “Ubuntu 16.04” in the CPU and OS fields, respectively. This information is used by services like FTP to determine the correct procedures for connecting to hosts based on their configuration.

Copy CodeCreates a NAPTR record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "naptrrecord.example.com", "type": "NAPTR", "answers": [ { "answer": [ 1, 2, "S", "http", "replace/me/i", "hi" ] } ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/naptrrecord.example.com/NAPTR

(RFC 3403) Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) records are most commonly used with internet telephony (or VoIP) services. It can be used to map telephone numbers and email addresses for VoIP users to SIP servers via SRV records to initiate calls.

Copy CodeCreates an NS record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "nsrecord.example.com", "type": "NS",   "answers": [ { "answer": [ "arecord.example.com" ] } ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/nsrecord.example.com/NS

(RFC 1035) Typically configured with your registrar, Name server (NS) records are used to delegate a domain or subdomain to a set of name servers. Name servers, such as NS1, hold all the other DNS records for your domain and tell all the other computers connected to the internet what records your domain holds. Therefore, setting the NS record is a critical step in getting your domains and servers online.

Copy CodeCreates an RP record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "rprecord.example.com", "type": "RP",   "answers": [ { "answer": [ "bob.example.com", "alice.example.com"] } ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/rprecord.example.com/RP

(RFC 1183) Typically, the "responsible person" record contains information about the person responsible for the domain. It is usually an email address where the "@" sign is replaced by a period (.).

Copy CodeCreates an SPF record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "spfrecord.example.com", "type": "SPF",  "answers": [ { "answer": [ "v=spf1", "ip4:1.2.3.4", "include:example.com", "-all" ] } ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/spfrecord.example.com/SPF

(RFC 4408, 7208) Sender Policy Framework (SPF) records are used during email verification to prevent your domain name from being used by spammers or malicious users. Simply creating an SPF record on your main domain with the content: v=spf1 ip4:11.11.11.11 a -all (replacing 11.11.11.11 with your mail server’s IP address) will tell email receivers that your mail server is the only server allowed to send emails from your domain. All emails received from other servers are to be rejected or marked as spam. If you have multiple mail servers, you can add another ip4:x.x.x.x after the previous one to allow another IP address. Note: The SPF record is still supported, but shouldn’t be used in new configurations. Instead, making a TXT record with the same content is the more accepted practice today. Commonly, mail servers will define both an SPF and a TXT record for the most compatibility.

Copy CodeCreates an SRV record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "srvrecord.example.com", "type": "SRV",  "answers": [ { "answer": [ 1, 1, 80, "srvrecord.example.com" ] } ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/srvrecord.example.com/SRV

(RFC 2782) Service locator (SRV) records are a way to use DNS to locate services for a specific domain. SRV records allow for built-in load balancing of multiple servers using the priority and weight values in the records. SRV record parameters include:

  • service is the name of a service, such as SIP or XMPP. Underscore required.
  • proto is the protocol in use for the service. Normally either TCP or UDP. Underscore required.
  • domainname is the FQDN of the domain using the service.
  • ttl is the time-to-live for the DNS record.
  • priority is the priority of the target. A lower number indicates a higher preference.
  • weight is the weight of the target. A higher number indicates a higher preference.
  • target is the hostname of the server which is hosting the service.

You can verify the record has been created correctly using the dig tool as shown in this example:

test:~ test$ dig srv _www._tcp.zone.example @dns1.p08.nsone.net +short 1 100 80 www.zone.example. test:~ test

Copy CodeCreates a TXT record

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d  '{ "zone": "example.com", "domain": "txtrecord.example.com", "type": "TXT",  "answers": [ { "answer": [ "some", "text", "here" ] } ] }' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/txtrecord.example.com/TXT

(RFC 1035) Text (TXT) records allow you to contain any text-based information on a domain or subdomain. Applications can use this to collect information about a service—typically, SPF records, DomainKeys, and DKIM (two other email verification processes). Usage with SPF can be read about above in the SPF Records section. TXT records may contain any information up to 255 characters per string. A zone may container multiple TXT records.

DNS views (DDI only)

PUT /v1/views/{view_name}

PUTCreate a DNS view

You must include a JSON body in the request with the associated zones, ACLs, and networks. An empty array of ACLs implies that all will be denied.

Defined in RFC 8499, the term DNS view (aka split-horizon, split-view DNS, etc.) is a configuration for a DNS server that allows it to serve one set of data to one group of clients (e.g. internal employees), and a different set of data to another group of clients (e.g. public internet).

In the NS1 DDI platform, users can create access control lists (ACLs) that define a group of clients (by IP address, TSIG key, and/or GSS-TSIG identity). One or more ACLs are attached to a DNS view which is configured to either allow or deny those clients access for queries and updates.

Common use cases include creating an internal (corporate) view and an external (public) view, attaching ACLs that point IP addresses within your organization to the internal view and all other clients to the external view. This allows the internal or corporate user to view internal specific resources that are not viewable to the public audience.

Note: Access to features including DNS views and ACLs requires NS1 DDI version 3.0 or later.

Run the PUT command below to create one or more DNS views with associated access control lists (ACLs).

Access control lists (DDI only)

PUT /v1/acls/{acl_name}

PUTCreate an ACL

An access control list (ACL) is a named object associated with one or more IP addresses, TSIG keys, or GSS-TSIG identities (service principals). You must specify at least one of these per ACL. One or more ACLs can be attached to a DNS view which is configured to either allow or deny those clients access for queries and updates.

Common use cases include creating an internal (corporate) view and an external (public) view, attaching ACLs that point IP addresses within your organization to the internal view and all other clients to the external view. This allows the internal or corporate user to view internal specific resources that are not viewable to the public audience.

Run the PUT command below to create one or more access control lists (ACLs).

Note: The order in which the attributes appear determines how each query is processed. From top to bottom, items of the same type (i.e. IP addresses, TSIG keys, or GSS-TSIG identity) are processed using logical “or” statements. Items of different types are processed as logical “and” statements.

Note: You can specify which clients should not be included in the ACL by entering an exclamation mark “!” before the address, subnet, or range. For example !1.0.1.100-1.0.1.200 indicates that this IP range should not be included in the ACL.

KNOWN ISSUE: NS1 Platform 9/25/20 - Currently, TSIG keys are not supported at the edge and will not have any effect on the DNS service.

PUT /v1/data/sources

PUT Connect a new data source

Creates a new data source. You may create multiple data sources of the same type (e.g., to correspond to different accounts with a data provider). The config for the source must contain fields corresponding to the config description in /data/sourcetypes for the sourcetype you specify. Some data sources are immediately connected; others enter a pending state awaiting activity from the data source, e.g., a verification request. See the documentation for the source from /data/sourcetypes.

Path parameters:

namestringName of the data source
sourcetypestringType of data source
configobjectConfiguration property name and value based on the source type. This object must contain fields that correspond to the config description in /data/sourcetypes for the sourcetype specified.

PUT https://api.nsone.net/v1/data/feeds/:sourceid

PUTConnect a new data feed to a data source

Given an existing data source, connects a new data feed to the source with a given (freeform) name and config matching the specification in feed_config from /data/sourcetypes. In this example, we connect a Rackspace Cloud Monitoring Alarm (using the Rackspace Alarm id and Entity id for the Alarm). To subsequently connect the feed to destinations (such as record answers), you should modify the record to connect a specific metadata key (which the feed is compatible with) via a feed pointer object to this feed id. See the documention for /zones/:zone/:domain/:type.

feedidStringYes

POST https://api.nsone.net/v1/feed/:sourceid

POSTPublish data from a data source

This is the Feed URL for a data source. Many data sources connect directly to this URL to feed data to NSONE, and in general you must configure them to do so according to the instructions for the data source (see /data/sourcetypes). The request sent to this URL depends on the type of the data source — usually, each data source has its own request protocol. For convenience, this URL accepts GETPUT, and POST requests, but POST is preferred.

You can feed data to the Feed URL directly for your NSONE API data sources (sourcetype of nsone_v1), as shown in the example.

Updates sent to the Feed URL that match any data feeds connected to the data source are applied to all destinations in the feeds and pushed out to our DNS network instantly.



Copy CodePush an update to an NS1 API data feed

curl -X POST -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"server-1": {"up":false}, "server-2": {"up":true}}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/feed/a53252f9e583c6708331a1daeb172e12

In this case we assume two data feeds already exist for an NSONE API data source. The data feeds have labels server-1 and server-2 (we might connect them to answers representing those servers in some DNS records). This update tells NSONE that server-1 is down, and server-2 is up. Any records which have their up meta key connected to one of these feeds will be affected.

Filter Chain

Filters

Cost

The cost filter examines the “cost” metadata field, and sorts all the answers in the record based on that value from lowest to highest. By default it does not eliminate any answers.

Input Metadata

Type

cost

Positive float

Config Option

Type

Required?

Default

Explanation

eliminate

boolean

no

false

If enabled, rather than sorting and returning all answers, the cost filter will find the answer with the lowest cost value and return only that, eliminating all others. (If there are multiple answers tied for lowest cost, it will return all of them.)

Note: any answers that do not have any associated cost metadata will always be considered last. The filter will always put them at the end of the sort order, and they will always be eliminated by the “eliminate” option (unless there are no answers with cost metadata, in which case the filter will do nothing)

Geofence Country

The geofence_country filter eliminates answers which are not in the same country (and, if applicable, US state or Canadian province) as the requester.

Input Metadata

Type

country

2 character ISO code (“US”, “GB”, “JP”, etc), or list of several countries

us_state

2 character state code (“NY”, “CA”, “IL”, “CT”, etc), or list of several states

ca_province

2 character province code (“QC”, “ON”, “MB”, etc), or list of several provinces

subdivisionISO-3166-2 code for a country and subdivisions

Config Option

Type

Required?

Default

Explanation

remove_no_location

boolean

no

true

If any answers have a location matching the requester, then eliminate all answers without any location. If set to false, then answers without location are kept instead.

Geotarget Latlong

The geotarget_latlong filter sorts answers by distance to the requester based on latitude and longitude.

Input Metadata

Type

latitude

Float between -90 and 90

longitude

Float between -180 and 180

Geotarget Regional

The geotarget_regional filter sorts answers by distance to the geographical region (e.g., Europe, Asiapac, or US-East) of the requester.

Input Metadata

Type

georegion

One of “US-EAST”, “US-WEST”, “US-CENTRAL”, “EUROPE”, “SOUTH-AMERICA”, “AFRICA”, “ASIAPAC”; or a list of several of these

Netfence ASN

The netfence_asn filter eliminates answers whose ASN does not match the ASN of the requester’s IP.

Input Metadata

Type

asn

List of integers

Config Option

Type

Required?

Default

Explanation

remove_no_asn

boolean

no

true

If any answers have an ASN matching the requester, then eliminate all answers without any ASN. If set to false, then answers without ASN are kept instead.

Netfence Prefix

The netfence_prefix filter eliminates answers whose list of ip prefixes does not match the requester’s IP.

Input Metadata

Type

ip_prefixes

List of strings

Config Option

Type

Required?

Default

Explanation

remove_no_ip_prefixes

boolean

no

true

If any answers have an ip prefix matching the requester, then eliminate all answers without any ip prefix. If set to false, then answers without ip prefix are kept instead.

Priority

The priority filter examines the “priority” metadata field, and finds the lowest priority value from among all answers. It then returns all the answers that have exactly that priority value.

Input Metadata

Type

priority

Unsigned (non-negative) int - should be between 0 and 5. By default, lower numbers correspond to a higher “priority” - an answer with a priority of 0 will be picked over one with a priority of 1.

Config Option

Type

Required?

Default

Explanation

eliminate

boolean

no

true

If enabled, rather than sorting and returning all answers, the priority filter will just find the answer with the lowest priority value and return only that, eliminating all others. (If there are multiple answers tied for highest priority, it will return all of them.)

If this is set to “false”, then the filter sorts the answers rather than eliminating them, just like the Cost filter does.

Note: any answers that do not have any associated priority metadata will always be considered last. They will always be eliminated (unless no answers have priority metadata, in which case the filter will do nothing), and the “sort” option will always put them at the end of the sort order.

Pulsar

The Pulsar filter sorts answers based on real-time routing data. Each answer is associated with a specific jobid, which is tied to a job that gathers statistics and telemetry that is used to rate the answer.

The Pulsar filter requires the “pulsar” input metadata field, which is a custom data structure. It always must be a dictionary, nested inside a list. The fields of the dictionary are as follows:

Parameter

Type

Description

Example

Required?    

job_id

string

The string ID of the pulsar job to be associated with this record.

‘abc123’

Yes

granularities

List of strings    

Specifies whether to use “geo”, “geo_asn” or both. We recommend using both.

Only 3 possible values: [‘geo’], [‘asn’], or [‘geo_asn’]    

Yes

bias

string

The bias to be associated with this answer - when Pulsar is comparing different latencies, it will apply this modifier to this answer to prioritize or de-prioritize it. Must take the form of a mathematical operator (one of ‘+’, ‘-’, or ‘*’) followed by a number which must be a positive float. The ‘+’ and ‘-’ operators add or subtract the specified number of milliseconds to the answer’s latency, and the ‘*’ operator scales the answer’s latency by the specified amount.

‘+10’, ‘-55’, ‘*0.5’, ‘*2’    

No

a5m_cutoff

float

The 5 minute availability cutoff to be associated with this answer. If availability of the Pulsar job associated with this answer over the last 5 minutes is lower than this value, this answer will be excluded from consideration. Must be a float between 0 and 1 (inclusive).

0.9

No

Config Option

Type

Required?

Default

Explanation

sort_descending

boolean

no

false

If enabled, the Pulsar filter sorts answers in descending order, from highest to lowest (instead of from lowest to highest). This is useful if the Pulsar metric you are routing with is best when maximized.

Example Request:

Example:
“meta”: {
	“pulsar”: [
		{
			“jobid”: “abc123”,

Pulsar Stabilize

The pulsar_stabilize filter analyzes real-time routing data, just like the Pulsar filter, but instead of sorting answers, it eliminates all answers that are a certain amount worse than the best answer. Therefore, all answers that perform “reasonably close” to best are kept, and what exactly constitutes “reasonably” can be configured by the user. All answers that aren’t eliminated are kept in the same order as before, so the results of any previous filters are maintained.

The pulsar_stabilize filter requires the “pulsar” input metadata field, which is a custom data structure. It always must be a dictionary, nested inside a list. The fields of the dictionary are as follows:

0.9

No

Config Option

Type

Required? 

Default 

Explanation

stabilization_threshold 

string

yes

Defines the threshold to use to decide which answers are kept. This is a string, which must contain a positive int, optionally followed with a ‘%’ sign. (E.x.: ‘100’, ‘30%’) If the value is just an int, then the cutoff value is calculated as the value (e.g., latency) of the best performing answer, plus this number of milliseconds. If the value is a percentage, then the cutoff will be the value of the best performing answer, plus that percentage of itself. (So if the stabilization_threshold is ‘30%’, the cutoff will be 130% of the best answer’s latency.)

sort_descending

boolean 

no

false

If enabled, the pulsar_stabilize filter bases the cutoff on the highest answer instead of the lowest, and removes all answers below that cutoff instead of above. The cutoff will be the pulsar value of the highest answer, minus whatever amount is specified by the stabilization_threshold, instead of plus like normal.

Select First N

The select_first_n filter eliminates all answers except for the first N, where N is specified in the filter config.

Config Option

Type

Required?

Default

Explanation

N

int

no

1

The number of answers to keep. All answers after the first N answers will be eliminated.    

Select First Region

The select_first_region filter simply returns all answers in the same region as the first answer. There is no metadata input or filter config. In the portal this is called “select first group”.

Shed Load

The shed_load filter proportionally eliminates or keeps answers based on how the load (or another selected metric) compares to the answer’s configured low and high watermarks. If the metric is lower than the low water mark, the answer will ALWAYS be kept. If the metric is higher than the high water mark, the answer will ALWAYS be removed. If the metric is between the low and high watermarks, it will be randomly kept or discarded with a probability based on where it is relative to the watermarks. (e.g., exactly halfway between the watermarks means a 50% chance of being discarded, a low watermark of 10 with a high watermark of 20 and a metric of 12 means a 20% chance of being discarded, etc)

Config Option

Type

Required?

Default

Explanation

metric

String - one of ‘loadavg’, ‘connections’, or ‘requests’

Shuffle

 The shuffle filter randomly sorts the answers. There is no metadata input or filter config.

Sticky Shuffle

The sticky filter sorts answers uniquely based on the IP address of the requester. This means that while different requesters get random orderings of answers, the same requester always gets the same results.

Sticky Region

The sticky filter sorts regions uniquely based on the IP address of the requester. This ensures that the same requester always gets an answer from the same region.

PUT /v1/monitoring/jobs

PUT Create a new monitoring job

Initiate a new monitoring job.

Request body parameters:

namestringName of the monitoring job (for internal reference only)
activebooleanIndicates whether or not the job is active or temporarily disabled.
region_scopestringControls the behavior of how the job is assigned to monitoring regions. Currently, this must be set to fixed so that monitoring regions are explicitly defined.
regionsarray of stringsList of region codes in which to run the monitoring job. Available monitoring regions are provided by the /v1/monitoring/regions endpoint. the number of regions you can apply depends on your account type and billing plan.
job_typestringIndicates the type of monitoring job you are creating. A full list of available types is returned by the /moniotring/jobtypes endpoint, but can include http, ping, tcp, and dns.
frequencyintegerNumber indicating the frequency (in seconds) at which to run the monitoring job in each region. The minimum frequency depends on your account type and billing plan.
rapid_recheckbooleanUpon any apparent status change, the job is quickly re-run after one second to confirm the state change before sending the notification.
policystringPolicy for determining the monitor's global status based on the job status in all regions. May be the quorum (majority status), all (status change only when all regions are in agreement), or one (down if any region is down). Enum: "quorum", "all", "one"
notesstring or nullInternal notes to be included in any notifications about this job (e.g., instructions for operators who will receive the notifications)
rulesarray of objectsList of rules for determining failure conditions. Each rule acts on one of the outputs from the monitoring job. You must specify key (the output key), comparison (a comparison to perform on the output), and value (the value by which to compare). For example, {"key":"rtt", "comparison":"<", "value":100} indicates a rule requiring the rtt from a job to be under 100ms or it will be marked as failed. Available output keys, comparators, and value types are indicated by /monitoring/jobtypes.
keystring(Part of rules object array) Output key (e.g., "rtt")
comparisonstring(Part of rules object array) Enum: "<", ">", "<=",">=","==","!=","regex", or "contains".
valueany(Part of rules object array) Value by which to compare
notify_delayintegerTime (in seconds) after a failure to wait before sending a notification. If the job is marked "up" before this time expires, no notification is sent. Set to 0 to send a notification immediately upon failure.
notify_repeatintegerTime (in seconds) between repeat notifications of a failed job. Set to 0 to disable repeating notifications. Otherwise, the value must be at least 60 (i.e., After 60 seconds, the notification will repeat.).
notify_fallbackbooleanIf true, a notification is sent when a job returns to an "up" state.
notify_regionalbooleanIf true, notifications are sent for any regional failure (and failback if desired)
notify_liststring or nullID of the associated NS1 notification list. If no list is specified, no notifications are sent for this job.


Copy CodeCreate a new ping monitor

curl -X PUT -H "X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY" -d '{"name":"1.2.3.4 Ping Check", "job_type":"ping", "region_scope":"fixed", "regions":["lga","sin","ams"], "frequency":60, "config":{"host":"1.2.3.4"}, "rules":[{"key":"loss", "comparison":"<", "value":75.0}], "notify_list":"52cc775a2db2861b55176727"}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/monitoring/jobs

This creates a simple ping job that runs in three monitoring regions: lga (New York), sin (Singapore), and ams (Amsterdam). The host is pinged from all regions each 60 seconds and a rule is configured to fail the monitor if packet loss exceeds 75%. When the job's status changes, notifications are sent to the specified notification list immediately.

This creates a simple tcp job that runs in the lga (New York) monitoring region. Every 60 seconds a TCP connection is opened to port 443 on the host; an SSL session is negotiated; and a simple HEAD request is sent. String escapes are interpreted in the send parameter. Then, if a response is returned it is tested to see if it contains "200 OK". If not or if no response is returned, the monitor fails, but a notification is only sent if the monitor remains down for 300 seconds.

GET /v1/monitoring/history/:jobid

GET View history of monitoring jobs

Returns historical status details of a monitoring job (if jobid is included in the URL) or of all monitoring jobs under the account (if no jobid is specified). You may restrict the time period to show with start and end (Unix timestamps) or by specifying a period (one of 1h, 24h, or 30d); limit the number of results with limit; and restrict to results from a specific region code. You may also specify exact (a boolean, if true you must also specify start): then, the status as of the exact start and end times is computed and returned as part of the status history.

Path parameters:

jobIDstring(Required) Unique identifier for the monitoring job whose history you are requesting

Query parameters:

exactbooleanIf set to true, the exact start and end times are computed and returned as part of the status history
periodstringIndicates a specific time period for the historical results you are requesting. Enum: "1h", "24h","30d"
limitintegerMaximum number of results to return
startintegerAbsolute start time in UNIX timestamp
endintegerAbsolute end time in UNIX timestamp (defaults to current time)

GET /v1/monitoring/metric

GET View historical metrics for all jobs

Returns historical metrics generated by monitoring jobs such as response time, packet loss, TCP connect time, etc. The metrics in the response depend on the job type (http, ping, tcp, dns). Metrics available for each job type are returned by /monitoring/jobtypes. If you include a jobid in the URL, only metrics for that job are returned. Otherwise, metrics for all jobs are returned subject to any applied query parameters.

Path parameters:

jobIDstring(Optional) Unique identifier for the monitoring job. If entered, only the metrics for the specified job are returned. Otherwise, all historical job metrics are returned.

Query parameters:

regionstring(Optional) Region code; may be "global" or a specific region as listed in the /monitoring/regions endpoint. Note that you can only specify this parameter if you have also specified a jobID. Only metrics from the specific region are returned. If set to "global", the average value of the metric across all active regions is returned.
metricstring(Optional) Metric name (e.g., "rtt" or "connect"). Valid metric names are described by the /monitoring/jobtypes endpoint and vary based on the type of monitoring job. Only the metrics for jobs providing a matching metric name are returned.
periodstringEnum: "1h", "24h", or "30d"; The interval of time for which to return results. Response is a list of metric objects, each containing jobID, region, and metric fields. The metric field is a mapping of metric names to statistics objects including the average value of the metric over the specified period (excluding times when no data was collected) and a graph for the metric over the period.

Copy CodeReturns historical metrics for the specific job over the last 30 days

PUT https://api.nsone.net/v1/lists

PUTCreate a new notification list

Creates a new list for notifications. You may specify a freeform display name for the list. The notify_list itself is a list of notifier objects including notifier type and a config dictionary with configuration details for the given notifier type. Available notifiers are indicated in /notifytypes. All notifiers in a notification list will receive notifications whenever an event is send to the list (e.g., when a monitoring job fails).

We create a new list to receive monitoring notifications. Notifications will be sent to both an email address ([email protected]) and to an NSONE Data Source for use with NSONE's DNS metadata. To connect a datafeed notifier, the sourceid must be a nsone_monitoring Data Source. Status changes for monitors connected to this notification list will be delivered to the Data Source, and if a Data Feed is configured under the source for the monitor, then the changes will be pushed to all metadata tables connected to the Data Feed.

Statistics

QPS

GET https://api.nsone.net/v1/stats/qps

GET Account-wide DNS queries per second

Returns current queries per second (QPS) for the account. Queries per second (QPS) are reported by the NS1 API for Managed DNS networks using the same method for calculating account, zone, and record-level stats: Once per minute on the minute, a new QPS value is calculated using the query count in a two minute period ending five minutes ago. This query count is divided by 120 seconds to return an average QPS for that time period. For example, an API call at 10:07:37 UTC will receive a QPS value using the query count between 10:00:00 and 10:02:00.

Usage

GET /v1/stats/usage

GETView account-wide usage statistics

Returns statistics and graphs for the entire account over a given period. Stats are returned as a list of "objects" containing various stats fields that correspond to the given entity.

When querying usage stats, note the following:

  • If none of the fields are present, the response includes aggregate stats for the entire account.
  • If only the zone field is present, the response includes aggregate stats for the specified zone.
  • If domain, rectype, and zone fields are present in the object, the response includes stats for the specified record.

Querying the 1-hr usage statistics endpoint returns three data points (including a partial one) containing the number of total queries. For example, if you query the usage stats for the “testdomain.com” endpoint at 5:10 pm (ex. ['https://my.nsone.net/v1/stats/...’]), you may see the following response:

[{"graph":[[1584993600,4514354],[1584995400,4193351],[1584997200,1683636]],"records":3994,"period":"1h","zone":"testdomain.com","queries":10391341}]

The graph is an array of UNIX timestamps and counts:

  • 1584993600 = 4:00 pm (DST) , Total Queries 4514354
  • 1584995400 = 4:30 pm (DST) , Total Queries 4193351
  • 1584997200 = 5:00pm (DST) , Total Queries 1683636 (a partially-filled bucket)

To calculate the total number of queries from 4 pm to 5 pm, add the first two data points together (totaling 8,707,705 queries from 4 - 5 pm). Ignore the third (partial) bucket as this is reflects only the number of queries from 5:00 pm to 5:10 pm.

Note: NS1 recommends that you only query 1hr stats at 30-minute intervals.

Note: The option to view usage statistics by billing tier (i.e. by_tier=true/false) is no longer supported.

Query parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
periodenum(string)(Optional) Relative time. Possible values: ‘1h’, ‘24h’, ‘30d’ (default: ‘24h’)
expandboolean
(Optional) Default value is “true.” If set to true, the response includes aggregated statistics across all zones.
Note about pagination: If you have more than 1,000 zones expanded, the response will include a standard HTTP Link header that will include after and limit query parameters. The URI in the link header may be used to fetch the next page of results.
networksstring(Optional) Identifier of the network for which you want to return usage statistics. Default is * which returns the number of DNS queries for all networks combined (e.g. Managed and Dedicated networks). Other supported values include the network ID, such as 0 for NS1 Managed DNS. Note that network IDs for DDI networks are defined during initial configuration, and those for Dedicated DNS are provided to you by the NS1 support team during implementation.
after
string
(Optional) Appears in paginated responses as part of the URI-reference component of the Link header. The value is the zone after which the next page should begin. If expand is not set to true, this param is ignored.
limit
integer
(Optional) Appears in paginated responses as part of the URI-reference component of the Link header. The value indicates the maximum number of expanded zones that should appear in the response (Default: 1000; Max value: 1000). If expand is not set to true, this parameter is ignored.

Performance Data

The various performance data endpoints use a common set of parameters to filter & group query results. These parameters can be directly specified to tightly filter results (e.x., setting “geo=US” will restrict the query to only return results from the US). Alternatively, some parameters can be set to a wildcard to group answers based on that parameter (e.x., setting “geo=*” will return a separate set of results for every geo value that exists).

Parameter

Type

Description

Example

Wildcard enabled

start

Number

Absolute start time in UNIX timestamp. Any data from before this time will be excluded. Defaults to 1 hour before current time

1527163200 (corresponds to 5/24/2018 12:00:00 GMT)

No

end

Number

Absolute end time in UNIX timestamp. Any data from after this time will be excluded. Defaults to current time.

1527163200 (corresponds to 5/24/2018 12:00:00 GMT)

No

period

String

Can be used instead of start & end time. If set, will set end time to current time and start time to whatever time is specified by this period. If start time is set, period is ignored

‘30m’, ‘1h’, ‘30d’

No

geo

String

Geographic region. Will filter data to only include results from the specified region. Must be either a 2 letter ISO country code, or US states can also be specified with the format ‘US_NY’

‘US’, ‘FR’, ‘GR’, ‘JP’, ‘US_NY’

Yes

asn

Number

Specifies an Autonomous System Number to filter for

1234

Yes

agg

String

Specifies a method to use to aggregate data. When there are multiple categories of data being grouped into one (e.x., you query for all geo rather than individual geo regions), this determines how the different data series are combined. (‘p50’ means “estimated 50th percentile”, ‘p75’ is estimated 75th percentile, etc)

‘avg’, ‘max’, ‘min’, ‘p50’, ‘p75’, ‘p90’, ‘p95’, ‘p99’, ‘p999’

No

GET /v1/pulsar/query/routemap/hit/customer

GETView all route map hits

Returns the total count of Pulsar route map hits for the entire account — optionally, within a specified time range. In response to a client request, the route map looks up the requester's IP address in the map file. A "hit" represents an instance in which the IP address is found within the map (as opposed to a "miss" where the IP address is not found). A high ratio of hits to misses indicates that the route map provides sufficient coverage of IP addresses querying it.

The time range is specified using start and end parameters. Alternatively, you can provide a period of time (from the current timestamp) by which you want to filter results. Note that you can either specify a start/end or a period — but not both.

Query Parameters:

startintegerDatetime expression (absolute or relative) for the beginning of the time range by which to filter results.
endintegerDatetime expression (absolute or relative) for the end of the time range by which to filter results.
periodstringIndicates a period of time from the current timestamp by which to filter results. For example, a value of 24h will return results for the last 24 hours from the current time.
geostringFilters results according to the geographic location (ex. US)

PUT /v1/dhcp/scope

PUT Create a scope

Creates a new DHCP scope.

Note: The DHCP server, if enabled, will allocate addresses from the associated IP address, grant any DHCP options associated with the address. The address and scope group must each meet certain invariants or else the request will result in a 422.

The address must:

  • be of type assignment.
  • not already be assigned to another scope group

options should be supported for the address' protocol.

Request Body Parameters:

ParameterTypeDescription
address_idinteger(Required) Unique identifier of the scope address/subnet. This subnet must be in an assigned state.
scope_group_idintegerUnique identifier of the scope group to which this scope is associated. If set and the scope group is active, the scope is used for leases.
address_detailsobjectObject including name (string) and prefix (string) pairs associated with this scope.
templatestringName of the DHCP template to apply to the current scope.
valid_lifetime_secsintegerThe amount of time (in seconds) for which a lease is valid. This field is required if the enabled parameter is set to true. Applies to DHCPv4 and/or DHCPv6 configurations.
optionsarray of objects(Required) Set of DHCP options assigned to this scope.
namestring(Required within options object) Namespaced DHCP option name.
valueany(Required within options object) DHCP option value matching the schema for the specified option definition.
always_sendboolean(Option within options object) If set to true, the defined option is returned in the response to the client request.
encapsulatestring(Option within options object) Encapsulated option space name. Only 124 and 125 options can use this field to encapsulate an option space.
client_classstringName of the client class to assign to this scope.
require_client_classesarray of stringsArray of required client class names.
match_client_idanyIndicates that the server will use the client identifier for lease lookups and chaddr if the first lookup returns no results. It set to false, the server will only use the chaddr to search for the client's lease. Default is true.
relaysarray of stringsArray of relay agent IP addresses. A relay must have an interface connected to the link on which the clients are being configured. Typically the relay has an IPv4 address configured on that interface which belongs to the subnet from which the server will assign addresses. Normally, the server is able to use the IPv4 address inserted by the relay (in the giaddr field of the DHCPv4 packet) to select the appropriate subnet. However, that is not always the case. In certain uncommon — but valid — deployments, the relay address may not match the subnet. This usually means that there is more than one subnet allocated for a given link.
ping_check_enabledbooleanIndicates whether or not to enable ping check on this scope.
next_serverstringIP address of the TFTP server where the configuration is stored.
server_hostnamestringHostname of the TFTP server where the configuration is stored.
boot_file_namestringFilename where the configuration is stored.
statelessbooleanSet to true to enable stateless configuration, when only configuration parameters are sent and IP addresses are not assigned. Default is false.
tagsobjectAll local and inherited tags. Local tags are tags set directly on objects. Inherited tags are inherited from parent objects. For each tag, you must indicate the property name and (optionally) specify a corresponding value (i.e. "{property_name}":"{value}"). Tags specified here are inherited by any child subnets/addresses.
blocked_tagsarray of stringsList of tags that are blocked by this node. Blocked tags are tags that you suppress or prevent from being applied to child objects.

POST /v1/dhcp/scope/:scopeID

POST Edit a scope

Modifies an existing DHCP scope. If you are removing the template associated with this scope, you have the option to specify the retain query parameter to indicate that the settings associated with that template should remain in tact for this individual scope.

Note: The DHCP server, if enabled, will allocate addresses from the associated IP address, grant any DHCP options associated with the address. The address and scope group must each meet certain invariants or else the request will result in a 422.

The address must:

  • be of type assignment
  • not already be assigned to another scope group

A scope group must only contain reservations and scope from a single network.

options should be supported for the address' protocol.

GET /dhcp/scopegroup/{scopeGroupId}/report

GETView scope group report

Returns a report about the specified scope group.

  • v{4,6}.total = sum(addr.report.total for addr in scope_group.v{4,6}.roots)
  • v{4,6}.reserved = sum(1 for host in scope_group.v{4,6}.hosts if host.reserve and not host.lease)
  • v{4,6}.fulfilled = sum(1 for host in scope_group.v{4,6}.hosts if host.reserve and host.lease)
  • v{4,6}.leased = sum(1 for host in scope_group.v{4,6}.hosts if host.lease and not host.reserve)
  • v{4,6}.free = scope_group.report.v{4,6}.total - scope_group.report.v{4,6}.leased - scope_group.report.v{4,6}.reserved - scope_group.v{4,6}.fulfilled

Notes:

  • reserved and fulfilled, as separate states, are mutually exclusive – if a user wants to know the number of reservations, reservations = reserved + fulfilled.
  • Similarly, if a user wants the total number of leases, including leases of static reservations, leases = fulfilled + leased
  • Note that because a host cannot exist which is not one of reservedfulfilled, or leasedv{4,6}.free could also be defined as v{4,6}.total - sum(1 for host in v{4,6}.hosts)

PUT dhcp/reservation

PUTCreate a reservation

Creates a new host reservation. Currently, the reservation must be associated with an address. The address and scope group must each meet certain invariants or else the request will result in a 422 error.

The address must:

  • Be of type = host.
  • Not be associated with another scope group.
  • Not have another conflicting reservation.

The scope group must:

  • Only contain reservations and scopes from a single network.

Options should be supported for the address' protocol.

Request Body Parameters:

address_idintegerUnique identifier of the address (subnet) being reserved. This subnet must be in an assigned state and must be of size /32.
scope_group_idintegerUnique identifier of the scope group. If present, the reservation is published.
address_detailsobjectObject containing the name (string) and prefix (string) for the associated address.
identifierobjectObject containing the type (enum: "hw-address", "circuit-id", "duid", or "client-id") and value (string) for the associated identifier.
templatestringName of the DHCP template to apply to this reservation
optionsarray of objects(Required) Array of DHCP options assigned to this reservation.
namestring(Required within the options object) Namespaced DHCP option name
valueany(Required within the options object) DHCP option value matching the schema for the specified option definition.
always_sendany(Optional within the options object) If set to true, the defined option is returned in response to the client request.
encapsulatestringEncapsulated option space name. Only 124 and 125 options can use this field to encapsulate an option space.
dhcpv6booleanIndicates which protocol to use to serve the reservation. If set to false, DHCPv4 is used. If set to true, DHCPv6 is used.
client_classesarray of stringsArray of client class names associated with this reservation.
next_serverstringIP address of the TFTP server where the configuration is stored.
server_hostnamestringHostname of the TFTP server where the configuration is stored.
boot_file_namestring

Filename where the configuration is stored.

tagsobjectAll local and inherited tags. Local tags are tags set directly on objects. Inherited tags are inherited from parent objects. For each tag, you must indicate the property name and (optionally) specify a corresponding value (i.e. "{property_name}":"{value}"). Tags specified here are inherited by any child subnets/addresses.
blocked_tagsarray of stringsList of tags that are blocked by this network. Blocked tags are tags that you suppress or prevent from being applied to child objects.

PUTCreate (or replace) an option definition

Create or replace an option definition with a unique code and key in its space. Only non-standard definitions can be replaced. The key and code must be unique in the chosen option space.

NOTE
The following are important guidelines to follow when configuring a custom DHCP option with “complex” schema selected:

  • The record must consist of at least two fields.
  • "String" or "binary" fields must be last in the order of primitive types.
  • You can only enter one "string" field or one "binary" field per record.
  • "Empty" type is not allowed in a complex record.
  • You cannot create an array of “string” or “binary” field types.
  • If a string contains commas, they must be escaped with double-backslash (\\).

The following are important guidelines to follow when configuring a custom DHCP option with "array" schema selected:

  • You cannot create an array of "string", "binary", or "empty" field types.

GET /v1/ipam/address/:addressId/next

GETReturn the next available prefix (/32 or /128)

Returns the next available /32 prefix (for IPv4) or /128 prefix (for IPv6) within a subnet.

The addressId refers to the unique identifier for the container of the address whose next available prefix you are requesting.

The next endpoint for any address (subnets or hosts) returns the prefix of the next available subnet of the given size. The available prefix is only returned, not reserved. If the subnet has children, each child is recursively searched until an `assigned` subnet is found, and the next free address or subnet is retrieved. If the targeted address is set to `planned` status and has no children that are set to `assigned`, a `GET` request returns an error.

If the size of the desired subnet is not specified, the default is `/32` for IPv4 addresses and `/128` for IPv6 addresses.

POST /v1/ipam/address/:addressID/split

POSTSplit a subnet

Splits an entire block of unassigned IP space into equal pieces. This will not function with ranges or individual hosts.

Note: Normal breaking out of a subnet is done with the standard PUT route (e.g. If the root address is a /24, the request for /29s will split it into 32 /29s).

  • Only planned subnets can be split
  • Name and description will be unset on children

Path Parameters:
