Scan the domain's current DNS host and import what is found

POST
/reseller/v1/domains/{domainId}/records/scan-import
 
curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.nsin.cloud/reseller/v1/domains/1/records/scan-import \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{}'

Scans the domain’s DNS at the nameservers it is delegated to right now and imports what it finds in one shot, with no review step; GET .../records/scan is the same scan without the writing.

What it scans is worth knowing before you trust the result. It tries an AXFR zone transfer against each authoritative nameserver first, and if none allows one — almost none do — it falls back to guessing: the apex plus roughly two hundred common labels (www, mail, _dmarc, selector1._domainkey and so on) queried for A, AAAA, CNAME, MX and TXT. So it finds the names it can guess, not everything in the zone, and a customer with unusual hostnames will arrive short of records. A wildcard zone is detected and collapsed into one * record instead of hundreds of synthesized ones.

NS records are never imported, existing records are skipped rather than overwritten — that is the difference from POST .../records/import — and everything lands unproxied, so nothing moves to the edge until you flip proxied. The plan’s record limit is checked first, so a domain with no plan answers 402. The handler reads nothing from the request body; send {}. You get back created, a per-record failed list, and the domain’s full record list afterwards.

Parameters

Section titled “ Parameters ”

Path Parameters

Section titled “Path Parameters ”
domainId
required
integer

Must belong to a client of the caller, or the response is 403.

Request Body required

Section titled “Request Body required ”

The customer API’s request body for the equivalent endpoint, unchanged. See openapi.yaml; it is not restated here for the same reason the response is not.

Responses

Section titled “ Responses ”

200

Section titled “200 ”

The customer API’s response for the equivalent endpoint, unchanged.

These operations mount the SAME Go handlers the customer panel calls, so the body shape is defined there and is deliberately not restated here — a second copy of the DNS record or rule schema is a second thing to keep in step, and the copy is always the one that goes stale. See openapi.yaml.

401

Section titled “401 ”

Missing, malformed, expired, or revoked credential.

Media type application/json

Every error body carries error, a human-readable sentence. Some also carry code, a stable machine-readable reason — branch on that, never on the sentence, which is prose and gets reworded.

object
error
required
string
code

Present only on the failures worth branching on, and deliberately not an exhaustive enum: treat a code you do not recognise as if it were absent and fall back to the status code.

The ones that exist today:

  • credit_limit_reached — 402 from POST /services and POST /services/{serviceId}/change-plan. Your wallet, not the client’s: funding the purchase would take you past your overdraft (default 0, i.e. past zero). Top up; do not credit the client.
  • domain_disabled — 409 from a configuration write on a disabled domain (records, rules, cache, SSL, members, settings). The domain is read-only until POST /domains/{domainId}/enable.
  • unknown_rule_type — 404 from the rules paths when ruleType is not one of the documented values. You get this rather than an empty array, so a typo cannot read as a rule set that happens to be empty.
  • rate_limited — 429 from any route. Keyed per credential, so one runaway integration cannot lock its owner out of the dashboard.
  • session_check_failed — 503, and only on calls made with a dashboard session JWT. The session could not be verified, which is not the same as knowing it is revoked, so it is retryable and the session survives. Machine tokens never see this.

{
  "error": "forbidden",

404

409

Section titled “409 ”

The domain is switched off and is not being served, so its configuration cannot be changed. It can still be read, and writes work again once it is enabled.

409 rather than 403 on purpose: you have every right to do this, the domain is simply in a state that cannot accept it, and telling a partner “you don’t have permission” would send him to entirely the wrong conclusion. The body carries "code": "domain_disabled".

500

Section titled “500 ”

Something failed on our side. The body carries a human sentence and never an internal detail — a live sweep of this API once returned dial tcp 127.0.0.1:9000: connect: connection refused, which is our topology rather than an error message. That is now impossible.

Distinguish it from 503. A 503 means a dependency is down and the identical request will succeed later, so retry it. A 500 means the request hit a genuine fault: retrying it unchanged will fail the same way, and it should be reported with the X-Request-Id from the response header.

Declared on every operation because every operation can reach it. It was previously declared on exactly one, which left a generated client with no branch for the answer it is most likely to be surprised by.
