Update DNS record proxying

Partially update one DNS record's CDN proxy state. Get id from GET /api/v2/domains/{id}/dns zone.id or GET /api/v2/dns-zones, and get recordId from records[].id. This is the DNS-record surface for proxying; callers do not need to list or mutate CDN proxy-rule resources. The endpoint reads the DNS record before changing proxy state, so API-key callers need both write:cdn and read:dns. The record must be A, AAAA, or CNAME and CDN must be enabled for the zone.

Authentication

Required API scopes: write:cdnread:dns

Use Authorization: Bearer <token> for API keys. Dashboard sessions may also use hostup_session.

Context

Path Parameters

id string required Example: zone_01hxa3b4c5d6e7f8g9h0j1k2m3

Public DNS zone ID. Get it from GET /api/v2/dns-zones `data[].id`. Do not invent this value; use the exact ID returned by the referenced API response.

recordId string required Example: drr_01hxa3b4c5d6e7f8g9h0j1k2m3

Public DNS record ID. Get it from GET /api/v2/dns-zones/{id} `records[].id`. Do not invent this value; use the exact ID returned by the referenced API response.

Headers

Body

required
application/json
proxied boolean · Example: true

Set to true to route this DNS record through CDN proxying, or false to keep it DNS-only. Valid only for proxy-capable A, AAAA, and CNAME records.

Responses

200 Updated DNS record.

name string · Example: _dmarc.example.com
value string · Example: v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected]
ttl integer · Example: 3600
priority integernull · Example: 10

Present only for MX and SRV records. `null` means the upstream DNS provider omitted priority for a priority-capable record.

weight integernull · Example: 5

Present only for SRV records. `null` means the upstream DNS provider omitted weight for an SRV record.

port integernull · Example: 5060

Present only for SRV records. `null` means the upstream DNS provider omitted port for an SRV record.

proxied boolean · Example: false

Present only on A, AAAA, and CNAME records when the CDN proxy state is known. Omitted for record types that cannot be proxied.

proxyReason string · Example: Mail server records cannot be proxied because MX records depend on them.

Present only when this proxy-capable record has a customer-facing reason that prevents changing the proxy state.

actions object

Compact action gates for state that belongs to this DNS record. Present only when a server-side action gate is relevant to the record.

actions.canChangeProxy object required
actions.canChangeProxy.allowed boolean required · Example: true
actions.canChangeProxy.reason stringnull required · Example: null
actions.canChangeProxy.code stringnull · Example: pending_order

Machine-readable reason code when an action is blocked.
