[Pdns-users] How to create new zone on the API?

[corey at bitaccel.com]

I've followed the documentation and created a call to the API but it doesn't
seem to create a new zone, it only creates NS and SOA records. Here is the
snippet I tried -

POST  <http://104.255.99.99:8081/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones>
http://104.255.99.99:8081/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones

{"name":"2.255.255.255.in-addr.arpa.", "kind":
"Native","dnssec":false,"masters": [], "serial": "2014060500",
"nameservers": ["rdns1.bitaccel.com.", "rdns2.bitaccel.com."]}

 

I also tried 

POST

 <http://104.255.99.99:8081/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones>
http://104.255.99.99:8081/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones

{
"comments": [

{ "account": "JP", "content": "My first API-created zone", "name": "uhuh",
"type": "dunno" }

],
"kind": "Native",
"masters": [],
"name": "example.net.",
"nameservers": [
"ns1.example.net.",
"ns2.example.net."
],
"records": [

{ "content": "ns.example.net. hostmaster.example.com. 1 1800 900 604800
86400", "disabled": false, "name": "example.net.", "ttl": 86400, "type":
"SOA" }

,

{ "content": "192.168.1.42", "disabled": false, "name": "www.example.net.",
"ttl": 3600, "type": "A" }

]
}

 

But it didn't create the A records according to pdns web interface or dig it
just created some SOA and NS records. (See dig below)

 

dig www.example.net '@rdns1.bitaccel.com'

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.68.rc1.el6_10.1 <<>> www.example.net

Anyone have any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
