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 by using the
generic update method on the address with the ptrs
property. Refer to the following 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 the newly specified IP
addresses to the external host records using PTR
records.
