Update many records at once

POST
/domains/{domain}/records/batch-update
curl --request POST \
--url https://api.nsin.cloud/domains/example.com/records/batch-update \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "updates": [ { "id": 1, "name": "example", "destination": "example", "mx_priority": 1, "proxied": true, "captcha": true, "scheme": "Http", "port": 1, "host_header": "example", "monitor": true, "timeout": 1, "comment": "example" } ] }'

Applies an update to many records in one request. Each item accepts exactly the same optional fields as a single PUT.

Best-effort: every record is processed independently, so one bad record does not abort the rest. The response always returns 200 with a per-record results array — check it rather than the status code. Requires records.edit.

domain
required
string

The domain name (for example example.com) — not a numeric id.

Per-record outcome.

Outcome of a best-effort bulk operation. The status code is 200 even when some records failed — inspect results.

Missing, malformed, revoked or expired API key, or a key whose owning user row is gone. A key whose owning account has merely been deactivated is not this: that is 403 with code: account_suspended, because the credential itself is intact and re-issuing it changes nothing.

Media type application/json

The error shape used by every endpoint. error is always present. code is present only on the failures that have one — do not require it, and do not parse error to recover it.

object
error
required

Human-readable description of what went wrong.

string
code

Stable machine-readable reason. Present on some failures only; the wording of error may change, this will not.

  • account_suspended403. The account behind the credential has been switched off, by an admin or by its provider. Every authenticated route answers this, so treat it as terminal rather than retrying.
  • domain_disabled409, not 403. You have every right to the operation; the domain is simply switched off and is not being served, so its configuration cannot change. It stays readable, and writes work again once it is enabled.
  • managed_by_reseller403. The account is a reseller’s client and this surface belongs to its provider. See If your account is managed by a reseller.
  • invite_email_mismatch403 from POST /invites/{token}/accept. The invitation was addressed to a different email; the body also carries invited_email, masked.

A panel session — not an API key — can additionally see session_check_failed on a 503, which means the session could not be verified, not that it is invalid. Retry it; do not discard the token.

string
Examples
Example invalidKey
{
"error": "invalid API key"
}

The key is read-only, your role on the domain lacks the required permission, the domain’s plan does not include the feature, or the account that owns the key has been deactivated — that last one carries code: account_suspended and can arrive on any endpoint, including ones that document no 403 of their own.

No such domain, or it is not visible to this account. Domains you cannot access are reported as not found rather than forbidden.
