• ns1_get_zone

  One zone with its settings and its record list (each record: domain, type, TTL, short answers, linked/tier info). Large zones are paged: if next_page is not null, call again with its after/offset to get the next records. TSIG secrets are redacted. GET /v1/zones/{zone}.

• ns1_get_record

  One DNS record by zone, domain and type: TTL, answers (with per-answer metadata), filter chain (traffic steering), linked record and region settings. GET /v1/zones/{zone}/{domain}/{type}.

• ns1_search

  Search the account's zones and records by name (substring match). Returns matching zones and/or records with their answers when expand is true. GET /v1/search.

• ns1_list_monitoring_jobs

  List the account's NS1 monitoring jobs (health checks that feed traffic steering): id, name, type, regions, frequency, rules, current status, active flag and notify list id. Request header values and credentials are redacted. GET /v1/monitoring/jobs.

• ns1_get_data_source

  One data source by id with its feeds. Connection settings and credentials are redacted. GET /v1/data/sources/{id}.

• ns1_list_data_feeds

  List the feeds of one data source (each feed is one monitored item, e.g. one server's health) with id, name and settings. GET /v1/data/feeds/{source_id}.

• ns1_get_data_feed

  One data feed of a source by id. GET /v1/data/feeds/{source_id}/{feed_id}.

  DNS query counts for the whole account, one zone, or one record (give zone, or zone + domain + type). period is 1h, 24h or 30d; aggregate, expand, limit and after apply to the account and zone levels only (a record takes just period). If next_page is not null, call again with its

• ns1_get_qps_stats

• ns1_get_billing_records

  How many DNS records the account uses against its plan limit in the current billing cycle. GET /billing-usage/v1/records.

• ns1_get_billing_queries

  Billable DNS query usage between two Unix timestamps. GET /billing-usage/v1/queries?from=&to=.

• ns1_create_record

  WRITE: creates ONE new DNS record and CHANGES LIVE DNS for that name as soon as NS1 serves it; a wrong answer can take a site or mail offline. Plain records only (A, AAAA, ALIAS, CAA, CNAME, MX, PTR, SRV, TXT; no NS/SOA, no traffic-steering filters or metadata). Refuses when the

• ns1_update_record

  WRITE: changes ONE existing DNS record and CHANGES LIVE DNS for that name immediately. Giving answers REPLACES all current answers of the record (send the complete new set); giving only ttl changes just the TTL. Plain records only (A, AAAA, ALIAS, CAA, CNAME, MX, PTR, SRV, TXT):
