Setting Sub Domains with "set_dns" - Not Working

7/1/2013 11:34

When I try to set a sub domain using the set_dns command, it wipes out all my sub domain records.

This is the url I've been using to try this:
https://api.dynadot.com/api3.html?key=MY_KEY&command=set_dns&domain=MY_DOMAIN&main_record_type=a&main_record=IP_ADDRESS&sub_record_type0=a&sub_record0=SUB_IP_ADDRESS

How can I simply *update* a subdomain's existing A record? I don't want to create an additional, duplicate A record.

Actually, it's almost 2025. Anyway, this is extremely annoying. I have a simple bash cronjob updating the A and AAAA address on my domains, and wanted to also add in TXT entries that are required by LetsEncrypt when doing DNS01 challenges for some domains (with a middleware API).

Hello from 2024. Over a decade and this is still a bug?
