DELETE - Delete a specific A record

Purpose

The API deletes a specific A record for the given domain name within a Windows DNS cluster environment. 

Note:

Removing an A record can cause website or application downtime if it is the only record mapping the domain to an IP.

If migrating to a new IP, consider updating the record instead of deleting it.

Changes to DNS records may take time to propagate depending on TTL settings.


Note: When the A record gets deleted from the zone, the PTR record associated with it will also get automatically deleted.

Request URL

https://{appconsole_IP}:{9443}/api/dns/zone/{zone_pk}/A/{pk}/

Request Headers

The following headers must be included in the API request for successful authentication and data submission:

Authorization: DDI Central's OAuth implementation uses the Bearer authentication scheme. Hence, while making API calls, access_token obtained via the OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Grant must be included in the Authorization header of API requests. This token verifies the client’s identity and ensures appropriate permissions for accessing resources.

The Authorization Header follows the format below:

headers = { "Authorization": "Bearer {bearer_tk}" }


Content-Type: Required in the header to indicate the media type of the resource being sent. It helps the server at the receiving end understand how to process the transmitted request body.

The Content-Type Header follows the format below:

headers ={ "Content-Type": "application/json" }

Path Parameters

  • zone_pk* long
    • This denotes the unique identifier for the zone.
  • pk* long
    • This denotes the unique identifier for the record.
