Response format

SiteLockOnlineResponse: This element is used to delineate the full API response.
- getDomainDNSInfo: The method name
  - domain: The domain’s DNS information
    
    configured: The status of the DNS service. The value can be one of the following:
    
    1: The DNS records are configured and the domain’s nameservers point to SiteLock.
    
    0: The DNS records aren’t yet configured. The SiteLock Dashboard will prompt the user to configure them.
    
    dns_key_rotation: Specifies whether the DNSSEC keys are rotated by customer or partner. The default value is customer. This element is present if DNSSEC is enabled for the domain.
    
    dnssec_enabled: Specifies whether DNSSEC is enabled (1) or disabled (0). By default, DNSSEC is disabled.
    
    hostname: The domain name for which the DNS settings were retrieved
    
    nameservers: A list of nameservers
    
    nameserver: (Repeatable) A nameserver
    
    records: A list of DNS records
    
    record: (Repeatable) A DNS record
    
    host: If the value is a subdomain, then the element contains the subdomain name. If it’s a domain, an empty value is returned.
    
    priority: An integer value indicating the priority of the target domain. A smaller value indicates a higher priority. If there’s only one record, the priority isn’t applied.
    
    target: The target IP address, domain, or subdomain. The value depends on the type of DNS record (see the type element).
    
    ttl: The DNS TTL in seconds. The value can be one of the following:
    
    120: The record is cached for 120 seconds.
    
    300: The record is cached for 300 seconds.
    
    600: The record is cached for 600 seconds.
    
    1800: The record is cached for 1,800 seconds.
    
    3600: The record is cached for 3,600 seconds.
    
    21600: The record is cached for 21,600 seconds.
    
    43200: The record is cached for 43,200 seconds.
    
    86400: The record is cached for 86,400 seconds.
    
    type: The type of DNS record. The value can be one of the following:
    
    A: This record maps a domain or subdomain to an IPv4 address.
    
    AAAA: This record maps a domain or subdomain to an IPv6 address.
    
    ALIAS: This record maps a domain or subdomain to another domain or subdomain.
    
    CAA: This record specifies the CA that is allowed to issue certificates for a domain. If no CAA record is present, any CA is allowed to issue a certificate for the domain.
    
    CNAME: This record maps a domain or subdomain to another domain or subdomain. It’s used only when there are no other records for that name.
    
    MX: This record specifies the mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a domain name.
    
    NS: This record specifies which nameservers are authoritative for a domain.
    
    TXT: This record allows domain administrators to insert text content into DNS records, for example, to prove domain ownership.
    
    SRV: This record specifies the domain and port for specific services such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), instant messaging, and more.
    
    DNSKEY: This record specifies the public zone signing key (ZSK) or key signing key (KSK) required for DNSSEC.
    
    content: The public zone signing key (ZSK) or key signing key (KSK). The first number in the element’s value identifies whether it’s a ZSK (256) or KSK (257).
    
    created_at: This timestamp indicates when the record was created
    
    domain_id: For internal use only
    
    external_zone_record_id: For internal use only
    
    regions: For internal use only
    
    system_record: For internal use only
    
    updated_at: This timestamp indicates when the record was updated
    
    uuid: A unique UUID string that identifies the DNS record
    
    weight: A relative weight for records with the same priority. A higher value means more preferred. The value can be in the range of 0-65535.
    
    port: The TCP or UDP port on which the service listens. The value can be in the range of 0-65535.
    
    service: The symbolic name of the service in a SRV record.
    
    protocol: The transport protocol of the service in a SRV record. This is usually either TCP or UDP.
    
    flag: A flags byte implements an extensible signaling system for future use in CAA records. The value can be in the range of 0-255.
    
    tag: The tag portion of a CAA record. The value can be one of the following:
    
    issue: Authorizes a single certificate authority to issue a certificate of any type for the domain.

    iodef: Specifies the URL to which a certificate authority may report policy violations.
    
    dsrecords: A list of DS records
    
    dsrecord: (Repeatable) A DS record
    
    algorithm: The algorithm that was used to generate the signature
    
    created_at: This timestamp indicates when the record was created
    
    digest: The hash value of the DNSKEY record (in hexadecimal format)

    record_uuids: A list of UUID strings that identify the matching DNSKEY records
    
    record_uuid: A UUID string that identifies the matching DNSKEY record. The value references the UUID of the DNSKEY record.
    
    updated_at: This timestamp indicates when the record was updated
  - site_id: The ID of the site for which the DNS settings were retrieved
  - state: The status of the DNS add-on. The value can be one of the following:
    
    pending: The add-on hasn’t been provisioned yet.
    
    provisioned: The add-on has been provisioned.
