Add TXT
Adds a TXT record to the domain’s DNS zone. TXT records store arbitrary text data and are widely used for domain verification and email authentication.
Common use cases:
- Domain verification: Prove ownership to Google Search Console, Stripe, and similar services (e.g.
google-site-verification=abc123). - SPF: Define authorised mail senders to reduce spam (e.g.
v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all). - DKIM: Publish a public key for email signing (typically on a
selector._domainkeyhost). - DMARC: Set email authentication policy (typically on
_dmarchost).
host: The subdomain label relative to the zone. Use @ or omit for the apex. Use a specific label for subdomain-targeted records (e.g. _dmarc, google._domainkey).
TTL: Controls how long resolvers cache the record. Minimum is 300 seconds (5 minutes). Omit to use the zone default.
Prerequisite: DNS service must be activated for the domain via POST /api/v1/dns/activate before records can be added.
