Update, retrieve, and delete external host records using generic methods.
API methods
Get a list of external host records: GET /v1/getEntities
Delete an external host record: DELETE /v1/delete
Update an external host record's name and comment properties:
PUT /v1/update
Note: You can also update external host
records that are assigned to IPv4 or IPv6 addresses through PTR records using
the generic update method. Refer to the following ptrs
property values and example:
- null—updates IPv4 or IPv6 address without any change to the existing PTR record.
- empty string ("")—use an empty string ("") for the ptrs property value when updating. This will remove all PTR records that linked IP addresses to the external host records.
- Valid comma-separated external host records string—use a valid
string. This will remove any PTR records that previously linked IP
addresses with the external host records and link newly specified IP
addresses to the external host records using PTR records. The records
previously linked should not be
unlinked.
