Introduction
This is the documentation for NS1's API (v1), which allows you to manage your zones and records, data sources and feeds, account settings and users, and other aspects of your NS1 account. You can do everything you're used to doing in my.nsone.net in our API — and more!
The NS1 API is a standard REST API with JSON responses. The HTTP method you use — GET, PUT, POST, or DELETE — determines the kind of action to be taken by the API. In the case of PUT and POST requests, you will generally send us a JSON body in your request with the details of the resource you're creating or updating.
Most API requests are authenticated with a simple API Key, which you must specify in the X-NSONE-Key request header. You can manage your API Keys in my.nsone.net. You should treat your API Keys as secrets! You should also give them only the minimal access needed for your application.

API Examples
Copy CodeCreate a new DNS zone
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"zone":"newzone.com", "nx_ttl":60}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/newzone.com
Copy CodeCreate a new secondary DNS zone
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"zone":"newzone.com", "secondary": {"enabled":true, "primary_ip":"1.2.3.4"}}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/newzone.com
Copy CodeCreate a new zone allowing AXFR and sending NOTIFY to a slave
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"zone":"newzone.com", "primary": {"enabled":true, "secondaries":[ {"ip":"1.2.3.4", "port":53, "notify":true} ]}}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/newzone.com
Copy CodeList active zones
curl -X GET -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones
Copy CodeImport a new zone from a zone file
curl -X PUT -F [email protected] -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' https://api.nsone.net/v1/import/zonefile/example.com
Copy CodeCreate a simple A record
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"zone":"example.com", "domain":"arecord.example.com", "type":"A", "answers":[{"answer":["1.2.3.4"]}]}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/arecord.example.com/A
Copy CodeCreate a linked A record
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"zone":"example.com", "domain":"linked-record.example.com", "type":"A", "link":"arecord.example2.com", "answers": []}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/linked-record.example.com/A
Copy CodeCreate an MX record with multiple answers
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"zone":"example.com", "domain":"example.com", "type":"MX", "answers":[{"answer":[5, "mail1.example.com"]}, {"answer":[10, "mail2.example.com"]}]}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/example.com/MX
Copy CodeCreate a record with GEOTARGET_REGIONAL
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"zone":"example.com", "domain":"georegion.example.com", "type":"A", "answers":[{"answer":["1.1.1.1"], "meta":{"georegion":["US-EAST"]}}, {"answer":["9.9.9.9"], "meta":{"georegion":["US-WEST"]}}], "filters":[{"filter":"geotarget_regional", "config":{}}, {"filter":"select_first_n", "config":{"N":1}}]}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/georegion.example.com/A
This creates an A record with two answers: a server (1.1.1.1) in the US-EAST geotargeting region, and a server (9.9.9.9) in the US-WEST geotargeting region. We also add the GEOTARGET_REGIONAL filter first in the filter chain (it needs no configuration); and follow it with the SELECT_FIRST_N filter with N set to 1, which picks the closest answer.
Copy CodeDisable use of edns-client-subnet data for a record
curl -X POST -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"use_client_subnet":false}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/example.com/example.com/A
Copy CodeConnect a Cloudwatch data source
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"sourcetype":"cloudwatch", "name":"My Cloudwatch Topic", "config":{}}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/data/sources
After creating the Cloudwatch data source in NSONE, create an SNS topic in your Amazon account, connect any alerts you want to feed to NSONE to that topic, and create an HTTPS subscription for the topic with the NSONE Feed URL (https://api.nsone.net/v1/feed/:feedid). New data feeds for this source should specify the Alarm Name of a Cloudwatch alarm.
Copy CodeConnect a feed from a Rackspace data source
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"name":"server.example.com alert", "config":{"entity_id":"enAAAAA", "alarm_id":"alAAAAA"}}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/data/feeds/f443e609c9a9182b3dab56b7abd744342
You must have already connected a Rackspace Cloud Monitoring data source. In this example we specify Cloud Monitoring Entity and Alarm ids — we can also optionally specify a Check id.
Copy CodePush an update to an NS1 API data feed
curl -X POST -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"server-1": {"up":false}, "server-2": {"up":true}}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/feed/a53252f9e583c6708331a1daeb172e12
In this case we assume two data feeds already exist for an NSONE API data source. The data feeds have labels server-1 and server-2 (we might connect them to answers representing those servers in some DNS records). This update tells NSONE that server-1 is down, and server-2 is up. Any records which have their up meta key connected to one of these feeds will be affected.
Copy CodeCreate a new ping monitor
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"name":"1.2.3.4 Ping Check", "job_type":"ping", "region_scope":"fixed", "regions":["lga","sin","ams"], "frequency":60, "config":{"host":"1.2.3.4"}, "rules":[{"key":"loss", "comparison":"<", "value":75.0}], "notify_list":"52cc775a2db2861b55176727"}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/monitoring/jobs
This creates a simple ping job that runs in three monitoring regions: lga (New York), sin (Singapore), and ams (Amsterdam). The host is pinged from all regions each 60 seconds and a rule is configured to fail the monitor if packet loss exceeds 75%. When the job's status changes, notifications are sent to the specified notification list immediately.
Copy CodeCreate a new TCP/HTTPS monitor
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"name":"1.2.3.4:443 HTTPS check", "job_type":"tcp", "region_scope":"fixed", "regions":["lga"], "frequency":60, "config":{"host":"1.2.3.4", "port":443, "send":"HEAD / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n", "ssl":"1"}, "rules":[{"key":"output", "comparison":"contains", "value":"200 OK"}], "notify_delay":300, "notify_list":"52cc775a2db2861b55176727"}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/monitoring/jobs
This creates a simple tcp job that runs in the lga (New York) monitoring region. Every 60 seconds a TCP connection is opened to port 443 on the host; an SSL session is negotiated; and a simple HEAD request is sent. String escapes are interpreted in the send parameter. Then, if a response is returned it is tested to see if it contains "200 OK". If not or if no response is returned, the monitor fails, but a notification is only sent if the monitor remains down for 300 seconds.
Copy CodeCreate a new notification list that pushes to Data Feeds
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"name":"Critical Notifications", "notify_list":[ {"type":"email", "config":{"email":"[email protected]"}}, {"type":"datafeed", "config":{"sourceid":"b85579edee904f0f204a6eb07b3f8a1f"}} ]}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/lists
We create a new list to receive monitoring notifications. Notifications will be sent to both an email address ([email protected]) and to an NSONE Data Source for use with NSONE's DNS metadata. To connect a datafeed notifier, the sourceid must be a nsone_monitoring Data Source. Status changes for monitors connected to this notification list will be delivered to the Data Source, and if a Data Feed is configured under the source for the monitor, then the changes will be pushed to all metadata tables connected to the Data Feed.
Copy CodeInvite a new user with full access to your account
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"username":"newuser", "name":"New User", "email":"[email protected]"}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/account/users/newuser
An invitation email will be sent to [email protected] allowing them to set a password and log in to my.nsone.net.
Copy CodeCreate an API Key that can only view one zone
curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"name":"My Application", "permissions":{"dns":{"view_zones":true, "manage_zones":false, "zones_allow_by_default":false, "zones_allow":["example.com"]}, "account":{"manage_account_settings":false, "manage_payment_methods":false, "manage_plan":false, "manage_teams":false, "manage_users":false, "manage_apikeys":false, "view_activity_log":false, "view_invoices":false}, "data":{"manage_datasources":false, "manage_datafeeds":false, "push_to_datafeeds":false}, "monitoring":{"manage_lists":false, "manage_jobs":false, "view_jobs":false} }}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/account/apikeys
You must explicitly deny permissions you do not want a new API Key (or User) to have. Since zones_allow_by_default is false, the user will have access only to zones in zones_allow. We grant this user access to example.com only — and since they only have view_zones access, they can only look at the zone's configuration and stats, and can make no changes.
Copy CodeGet usage by zone with graphs for last 24 hours
curl -X GET -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' "https://api.nsone.net/v1/stats/usage?expand=true&period=24h"
Copy CodeGet account-wide usage by billing tier for last 30 days
curl -X GET -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' "https://api.nsone.net/v1/stats/usage?period=30d&aggregate=false&by_tier=true"
Usage is returned broken down by billing tier with arrays like [<static>, <dynamic>, <intelligent>].

PUT /zones/:zone
PUT Create a new DNS zone
You must include a JSON body in the request with basic details of the zone. The only required element in the body is zone, the zone domain name. You may create a standard zone (which has its own configuration and records), a linked zone (which points to an existing standard zone, reusing its configuration and records), or a secondary zone (which slaves DNS records from an external primary DNS server). For non-linked zones, you may specify optional zone configuration by including ttl (SOA record TTL), refresh, retry, expiry, and nx_ttl values, as in a SOA record. The zone is assigned DNS servers and appropriate NS records are automatically created, unless you create a secondary zone.
To create a linked zone, you must include a link property in the body of your request. It must be a string which references the target zone (domain name) to link to. The target zone must be owned by the same account that is creating the linked zone. If the linkproperty is specified, no other zone configuration properties (such as refresh, retry, etc) may be specified, since they are all pulled from the target zone. Linked zones, once created, cannot be configured at all and cannot have records added to them. They may only be deleted, which does not affect the target zone at all.
To create a secondary zone, you must include a secondary object in the body of your request including fields enabled (true/false, if true the zone is configured as a secondary zone); and primary_ip(an IPv4 address, not a hostname, for the primary DNS server for the zone). If your primary DNS server is running on a non-standard port, you may also include primary_port.
To enable slaving of your zone by third party DNS servers, you must include a primary object in the body of your request including fields enabled (true/false, if true then AXFR queries and optionally NOTIFY messages will be enabled for the zone); and secondaries, a list of objects each containing ip (IPv4 address of the secondary node), port (optional, port on host to send NOTIFYmessages, default 53), and notify (true/false, if true then we will send NOTIFY messages to the secondary host when the zone changes).
If your account has access to multiple DNS networks, you may pass in networks, a list of network ids for which the zone should be made available. If you do not provide a list of networks, the zone will be created in network 0, the primary NSONE Global Network. DNS servers will be selected and assigned from among all the networks you specify.

POST /zones/:zone
POST Modify a zone
Modifies basic details of a DNS zone. You must include a JSON body in the request, in which you may include ttl (SOA record TTL), refresh, retry, expiry, or nx_ttl values, as in a SOA record. You may not change the zone name or other details.
If the zone is a secondary zone, you may change the primary_ip and primary_port for the zone. You may also change enabled in the secondary object to convert a zone between primary and secondary behavior. Note that when converting from a secondary to a primary zone, you will need to create a NS record for the zone with the zone's assigned NSONE nameservers.
You may enable/disable slaving from the zone and add/remove secondary (slave) hosts by manipulating the primary object.
You may modify the set of DNS networks for which the zone should be made available. Note that if you remove a network from a zone, and later re-add it, then new nameservers will be assigned within that network. You may remove all networks from a zone, in which case the zone will not be accessible from any DNS network.

DELETE /zones/:zone
DELETE Delete a zone and all its records
Destroys an existing DNS zone and all records in the zone. Our servers won't respond to queries for the zone or any of the records after you do this, and you cannot recover the deleted zone, so be careful! There is no request body required, and there is no response other than the HTTP status code.

PUT /import/zonefile/:zone
PUT Import a zone from a zone file
Upload a zone file, using form encoding (multipart/form-data) with the zone file as the content of the zonefile form parameter. The zone must not already exist in your account. It will be created, as will all records in the zone file. Any round-robin records (e.g., multiple A records for the same domain) will be treated as answers for a single combined record in your account. Existing NS records will be replaced, as will some details of SOA records.
There are two modes: synchronous (default) and asynchronous. In asynchronous mode, you must check back with a GET request using the returned job id to get the results of your request. In synchronous mode, the connection remains open until the results can be returned to you directly. Full details of the new zone and all records are returned; a warnings field contains a list of strings with any warnings from the zone file import process.
Upon import, the zone will be made available only on the NSONE Global Network (network 0). If your account has access to other DNS networks and you wish to make the zone available via those networks, simply add them to the zone after importing the zone file.

GET /search
GET Search zones and records
Returns all zones and records that match a query string q. You can limit the max number of results and you can restrict the type of results to zone, record, or all. Entries in the response without domain/type are zones, and those with domain/type are records.
Request URL:

Records
GET /zones/:zone/:domain/:type
GETGet record configuration details
Returns full configuration for a DNS record including basic config, answers, regions, filter chain configuration, and all metadata tables and data feeds attached to entities in the record. (Note that regions might be any specified grouping, not necessarily a geo-related region. For this reason, the NS1 web portal at my.nsone.net uses the word "group" instead of "region".)
You must fully specify zone, domain, and record type, e.g., example.com/www.example.com/A returns the A record for www.example.com in the example.com zone.

PUT /zones/:zone/:domain/:type
PUTCreate a new DNS record
Creates a new DNS record in the specified zone, for the specified domain, of the given record type. Currently supported record types are: A, AAAA, ALIAS, AFSDB, CERT, CNAME, DNAME, HINFO, MX, NAPTR, NS, PTR, RP, SPF, SRV, TXT. The answer field within each entry in the answers list must be a list of the RDATA fields for a DNS record of the specified type.
You may not create multiple records of the same type for the same domain name in a zone — instead, add new answers to the existing record. The default behavior if no filters are in the filter chain is to return all answers matching a query.
Metadata tables (meta) may be specified in answers, in regions or in the record as a whole. (Note that regions can be any kind of group, not just geo-related. For this reason, the NS1 web portal at my.nsone.net uses the word "group" instead of "region".) The metadata tables may contain key/value pairs where valid keys and values are as described in the output of /metatypes.
Anywhere metadata tables can go, data feeds can go as well. Connect a compatible feed to a metadata key by assigning its value to be a JSON object pointing to the data feed that should be consulted for the final value.
The new record will take on the same networks as the zone it's in.
Instead of specifying answers and other details, you may create a "linked" record. This allows you reuse the configuration (including answers and metadata) from an existing record in NSONE's systems. Linked records will respond in the exact same way as their targets at DNS resolution time, and can be used for maintaining complicated record configurations in a single record while pointing (linking) other lightweight records to it. Linked records must point to another record of the exact same record type and do not have to exist in the same zone.
To create a linked record, specify the link property as a string whose contents is the FQDN containing the config it should link to. If link is specified, no other record configuration (such as answersor meta) should be specified.

This creates an A record with two answers: a server (1.1.1.1) in the US-EAST geotargeting region, and a server (9.9.9.9) in the US-WEST geotargeting region. We also add the GEOTARGET_REGIONALfilter first in the filter chain (it needs no configuration); and follow it with the SELECT_FIRST_N filter with N set to 1, which picks the closest answer.

PUTConnect a new data feed to a data source
Given an existing data source, connects a new data feed to the source with a given (freeform) name and config matching the specification in feed_config from /data/sourcetypes. In this example, we connect a Rackspace Cloud Monitoring Alarm (using the Rackspace Alarm id and Entity id for the Alarm). To subsequently connect the feed to destinations (such as record answers), you should modify the record to connect a specific metadata key (which the feed is compatible with) via a feed pointer object to this feed id. See the documention for /zones/:zone/:domain/:type.

POST https://api.nsone.net/v1/feed/:sourceid
POSTPublish data from a data source
This is the Feed URL for a data source. Many data sources connect directly to this URL to feed data to NSONE, and in general you must configure them to do so according to the instructions for the data source (see /data/sourcetypes). The request sent to this URL depends on the type of the data source — usually, each data source has its own request protocol. For convenience, this URL accepts GET, PUT, and POST requests, but POST is preferred.
You can feed data to the Feed URL directly for your NSONE API data sources (sourcetype of nsone_v1), as shown in the example.
Updates sent to the Feed URL that match any data feeds connected to the data source are applied to all destinations in the feeds and pushed out to our DNS network instantly.
Copy CodePush an update to an NS1 API data feed
curl -X POST -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' -d '{"server-1": {"up":false}, "server-2": {"up":true}}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/feed/a53252f9e583c6708331a1daeb172e12
In this case we assume two data feeds already exist for an NSONE API data source. The data feeds have labels server-1 and server-2 (we might connect them to answers representing those servers in some DNS records). This update tells NSONE that server-1 is down, and server-2 is up. Any records which have their up meta key connected to one of these feeds will be affected.

PUT https://api.nsone.net/v1/monitoring/jobs
PUT Create a new monitoring job
Initiate a new monitoring job. A variety of configuration details can be set in the monitoring job request body, including:
name: A free-form display name for the monitoring job.
active: A boolean indicating if the job is active or temporarily disabled.
region_scope: Controls behavior of how the job is assigned to monitoring regions. Currently this must be fixed — indicating monitoring regions are explicitly chosen.
regions: A list of region codes in which to run the monitoring job. Available monitoring regions are provided by /monitoring/regions. The number of regions you may specify depends on your account type and billing plan.
job_type: The type of monitoring job to be run. A list of available types is given by /monitoring/jobtypes.
frequency: The frequency, in seconds, at which to run the monitoring job in each region. The minimum frequency depends on your account type and billing plan.
rapid_recheck: A boolean, default false. If true, on any apparent state change, the job is quickly re-run after one second to confirm the state change before notification.
policy: The policy for determining the monitor's global status based on the status of the job in all regions. May be quorum(majority status); all (status change only when all regions are in agreement); or one (down if any region is down).
notes: Freeform notes to be included in any notifications about this job, e.g., instructions for operators who will receive the notifications.
config: A configuration dictionary with keys and values depending on the job_type. Configuration details for each job_type are indicated by /monitoring/jobtypes.
rules: A list of rules for determining failure conditions. Each rule acts on one of the outputs from the monitoring job. You must specify key (the output key); comparison (a comparison to perform on the the output); and value (the value to compare to). For example, {"key":"rtt", "comparison":"<", "value":100} is a rule requiring the rtt from a job to be under 100ms, or the job will be marked failed. Available output keys, comparators, and value types are indicated by /monitoring/jobtypes.
notify_delay: time in seconds after a failure to wait before sending a notification. If the job is marked "up" before this time expires, no notification is sent. Set to 0 to send a notification immediately upon failure.
notify_repeat: time in seconds between repeat notifications of a failed job. Set to 0 to disable repeating notifications. Otherwise the value must be greater than or equal to 60.
notify_failback: boolean. If true, a notification is sent when a job returns to an "up" state.
notify_regional: boolean. If true, notifications are sent for any regional failure (and failback if desired), in addition to global state notifications.
notify_list: The id of the notification list to send notifications to. If no list is specified, no notifications will be sent for this job.

This creates a simple ping job that runs in three monitoring regions: lga (New York), sin (Singapore), and ams (Amsterdam). The host is pinged from all regions each 60 seconds and a rule is configured to fail the monitor if packet loss exceeds 75%. When the job's status changes, notifications are sent to the specified notification list immediately.

This creates a simple tcp job that runs in the lga (New York) monitoring region. Every 60 seconds a TCP connection is opened to port 443 on the host; an SSL session is negotiated; and a simple HEAD request is sent. String escapes are interpreted in the send parameter. Then, if a response is returned it is tested to see if it contains "200 OK". If not or if no response is returned, the monitor fails, but a notification is only sent if the monitor remains down for 300 seconds.

GET Get historical status of monitoring job
Returns historical status details of a monitoring job (if jobid is included in the URL) or of all monitoring jobs under the account (if no jobid is specified). You may restrict the time period to show with start and end (Unix timestamps) or by specifying a period (one of 1h, 24h, or 30d); limit the number of results with limit; and restrict to results from a specific region code. You may also specify exact (a boolean, if true you must also specify start): then, the status as of the exact start and end times is computed and returned as part of the status history.
| Parameter | Type | Description | Required? |
| jobid | String | Yes | |
| start | Number | Absolute start time in UNIX timestamp | No |
| end | Number | Absolute end time in UNIX timestamp (defaults to current time) | No |
| period | String | Possible values: '1h', '24h', '30d' | No |

GET https://api.nsone.net/v1/monitoring/metric/jobid?region=global&metric=rtt&period=30d
GET Get historical metrics for monitoring job
Returns historical metrics generated by monitoring jobs, such as response time, packet loss, TCP connect time, etc. The metrics in the response depend on the job — metrics available for each job type are returned by /monitoring/jobtypes. If you include a jobid in the URL, only metrics for that job are returned; otherwise, metrics for all jobs are returned subject to the other filtering parameters, which include:
region: a region code; may be either global or a specific region as listed in /monitoring/regions. You may only specify this parameter if you also specify a specific jobid. Only metrics from the specific region are returned. If global, the average value of the metric across all active regions is returned.
metric: a metric name, e.g. rtt or connect. Valid metric names are described by /monitoring/jobtypes and depend on the type of monitoring job. Only metrics for jobs providing a matching metric name will be returned.
period: one of 1h, 24h, or 30d depending on the length of history you wish to retrieve. The number and interval of the data po s returned depends on the period. The response is a list of "metrics" objects, each containing jobid, region, and metrics fields. The metric field is a mapping of metric names to statistics objects including the average value of the metric over the period (excluding times when no data was collected), and a graph for the metric over the period.

The notify_list itself is a list of notifier objects including notifier type and a config dictionary with configuration details for the given notifier type. Available notifiers are indicated in /notifytypes. All notifiers in a notification list will receive notifications whenever an event is send to the list (e.g., when a monitoring job fails).

User
GET https://api.nsone.net/v1/account/users
GETGet all account users
Returns a list of all users with access to the account. Notification settings (notify) and access restrictions (permissions) are included. If any specific access right is omitted from permissionsthen it defaults to true (allowed). In the example below, "New User" is only allowed to manage the example.com zone and can do nothing else in the account; "API Example" has full permissions.
Users may belong to "Teams" in which case they inherit the permissions of the Teams. If a user belongs to multiple Teams, then they inherit the union of permissions of the Teams they belong to. For example, if a user belongs to two Teams, and one Team has the dns.manage_zones permission and the other does not, then the user will have that permission.
If a user does not belong to any Teams, then their permissions may be modified directly and are just for them. If a user does belong to one or more Teams, then the permissions returned with the user are the computed permissions from all the Teams to which they belong and may not be modified directly (instead, modify the relevant Team permissions).

GET https://api.nsone.net/v1/account/apikeys/:keyid
GETGet an API Key's details
Returns details, including permissions, for a single API Key. Note: do not use the API Key itself as the keyid in the URL — use the id of the key. Keep the API Key string secret — it grants access to your account!

PUT https://api.nsone.net/v1/account/apikeys
PUTCreate a new API Key
Creates a new API Key. You should explicitly restrict access rights for the API Key to include only what the application requires. If you add the API Key to one or more Teams, you may not directly set its permissions and the API Key will inherit access rights from its Teams. The new API Key string is returned in the key field in the response — keep it secret, keep it safe. If it is compromised, delete the API Key immediately. You can restrict access to this key by adding IP addresses or CIDR blocks in the ip_whitelist array property. i.e. ip_whitelist: ['104.20.48.182', '104.20.49.0/24'].

You must explicitly deny permissions you do not want a new API Key (or User) to have. Since zones_allow_by_default is false, the user will have access only to zones in zones_allow. We grant this user access to example.com only — and since they only have view_zones access, they can only look at the zone's configuration and stats, and can make no changes.

POST https://api.nsone.net/v1/account/plan
POSTChange your subscription plan
If you are on the startup, starter, or basic plan, and you have a valid credit card on file, you may call this method to instantly pay for and upgrade to a new subscription plan. You may change to a basic or advanced plan with a monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual term. Note: In this case, you will be charged the full price of the new plan as indicated in the recurring_cost field in the plan description. If you are currently on any other plan, you do not have a payment method on file, or you are requesting a change to the professional, enterprise, enterprise premiumplan, calling this method will submit a request to change your subscription plan, which we will review and respond to. In that case, you may also pass us notes about your request. If we submit a change request but cannot process it immediately, the response will not include a body.

GETDownload an invoice
The invoice is returned in PDF format. This method will directly return a PDF. The Content-Type and Content-Dispositionheaders will be set accordingly. However, if there is an error, the usual JSON error will be returned.
There are certain cases, such as in some browsers, where you will be unable to send the X-NSONE-Key authentication header to download a file intended to be saved to the user's filesystem, due to restrictions on some kinds of AJAX/XHR requests. In this case, you may use an alternative authentication mechanism for this method: add an authtoken parameter to the URL, consisting of a SHA1 hash of the concatenation of the API Key, the invoice id, and the sent field from /account/invoices for the invoice (as a string). For example: sha1('qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8101373985364').

Activity Log
GET https://api.nsone.net/v1/account/activity?limit=&start=&end=&resource_type=&user=&resource_id=
GETGet account activity log
Returns entries from the account activity log. By default, the most recent 20 entries are returned — get more by setting limit. You can also restrict the results to entries later than some start (Unix timestamp) or earlier than some end. If you specify a resource_type, only entries for resources of that type are returned. You may also restrict by user and resource_id. Activity log entries include a user_type which is one of "user", "apikey", or "system" depending on where the activity came from, and for "user" and "apikey" activity, the user_id is the username or API Key id, respectively. For "create" and "update" actions, any resource details are for the resource after the action is taken; for "delete" actions, any such details show the resource as it was prior to deletion.

Usage
GET https://api.nsone.net/v1/stats/usage?period=24h&expand=false&aggregate=true&by_tier=false
GETAccount-wide usage statistics
Returns statistics and graphs for the entire account over a given period. Stats are returned as a list of stats "objects" containing various stats fields that correspond to the given entity. If domain, rectype and zone fields are present in the object, the stats are for the given record; if only the zone field is present, the stats are aggregate stats for the zone; and if none of the fields is present, the stats are aggregate stats for the entire account.
You may specify the following query parameters:
period: one of 1h, 24h, or 30d; default 24h.
expand: true or false; default false — if set, breaks down stats by zone, and if unset, shows aggregate stats for the entire account.
aggregate: true or false; default true — if set, returns aggregated stats across all zones and billing tiers (even if expand and by_tier are true).
by_tier: true or false; default false — if set, returns stats and graphs for each billing tier (in records_by_tier and queries_by_tier in each stats object). The first element corresponds to
STATICrecords/queries; the second toDYNAMICones; and the third toINTELLIGENTones.

GETGet job details
Returns details for a single Pulsar job.
Modify Pulsar configuration
The Pulsar configuration for an answer is just a part of that answer’s metadata, and thus can be configured like any other metadata through the `/zones/:zone` endpoint (see https://ns1.com/api#zones-records):
Copy CodeZone details
curl -X GET -H 'X-NSONE-Key: qACMD09OJXBxT7XOuRs8' https://api.nsone.net/v1/zones/zone.test/domain.zone.test/A
Parameter | Type | Description | Example | Required |
job_id | String | The string ID of the Pulsar job to be associated with this record. | ‘abc123’ | Yes |
granularities | List of strings | Specifies whether to use “geo”, “geo_asn” or both. We recommend using both “geo” and “geo_asn”. | Only 4 possible values: [‘geo’], [‘geo_asn’], or [‘geo’, ‘geo_asn’] | Yes |
bias | String | The bias to be associated with this answer - when Pulsar is comparing different latencies, it will apply this modifier to this answer to prioritize or de-prioritize it. Must take the form of a mathematical operator (one of ‘+’, ‘-’, or ‘*’) followed by a number which must be a positive float. The ‘+’ and ‘-’ operators add or subtract the specified number of milliseconds to the answer’s latency, and the ‘*’ operator scales the answer’s latency by the specified amount. | ‘+10’, ‘-55’, ‘*0.5’, ‘*2’ | No |
a5m_cutoff | Float | The 5 minute availability cutoff to be associated with this answer. If availability of the Pulsar job associated with this answer over the last 5 minutes is lower than this value, this answer will be excluded from consideration. Must be a float between 0 and 1 (inclusive). | 0.9 | No |

The Pulsar configuration data is nested within the “meta” field under the “pulsar” key, and is structured as a dictionary wrapped within a list. (This is important - if you try to send just a dictionary without wrapping it in a list it will be rejected. This is required because having a metadata value that is a dictionary gets parsed as a feed pointer, which is a completely separate object.) The different values inside the dictionary can all be modified with a POST request just like any other metadata, or any other zone/record data. (See https://ns1.com/api#modify-a-zone)

Performance Data
The various performance data endpoints use a common set of parameters to filter & group query results. These parameters can be directly specified to tightly filter results (e.x., setting “geo=US” will restrict the query to only return results from the US). Alternatively, some parameters can be set to a wildcard to group answers based on that parameter (e.x., setting “geo=*” will return a separate set of results for every geo value that exists).
Parameter | Type | Description | Example | Wildcard enabled |
start | Number | Absolute start time in UNIX timestamp. Any data from before this time will be excluded. Defaults to 1 hour before current time | 1527163200 (corresponds to 5/24/2018 12:00:00 GMT) | No |
end | Number | Absolute end time in UNIX timestamp. Any data from after this time will be excluded. Defaults to current time. | 1527163200 (corresponds to 5/24/2018 12:00:00 GMT) | No |
period | String | Can be used instead of start & end time. If set, will set end time to current time and start time to whatever time is specified by this period. If start time is set, period is ignored | ‘30m’, ‘1h’, ‘30d’ | No |
geo | String | Geographic region. Will filter data to only include results from the specified region. Must be either a 2 letter ISO country code, or US states can also be specified with the format ‘US_NY’ | ‘US’, ‘FR’, ‘GR’, ‘JP’, ‘US_NY’ | Yes |
asn | Number | Specifies an Autonomous System Number to filter for | 1234 | Yes |
agg | String | Specifies a method to use to aggregate data. When there are multiple categories of data being grouped into one (e.x., you query for all geo rather than individual geo regions), this determines how the different data series are combined. (‘p50’ means “estimated 50th percentile”, ‘p75’ is estimated 75th percentile, etc) | ‘avg’, ‘max’, ‘min’, ‘p50’, ‘p75’, ‘p90’, ‘p95’, ‘p99’, ‘p999’ | No |

Filters
Cost
The cost filter examines the “cost” metadata field, and sorts all the answers in the record based on that value from lowest to highest. By default it does not eliminate any answers.
Input Metadata | Type |
cost | Positive float |
Config Option | Type | Required? | Default | Explanation |
eliminate | boolean | no | false | If enabled, rather than sorting and returning all answers, the cost filter will find the answer with the lowest cost value and return only that, eliminating all others. (If there are multiple answers tied for lowest cost, it will return all of them.) |
Note: any answers that do not have any associated cost metadata will always be considered last. The filter will always put them at the end of the sort order, and they will always be eliminated by the “eliminate” option (unless there are no answers with cost metadata, in which case the filter will do nothing)
Geofence Country
The geofence_country filter eliminates answers which are not in the same country (and, if applicable, US state or Canadian province) as the requester.
Input Metadata | Type |
country | 2 character ISO code (“US”, “GB”, “JP”, etc), or list of several countries |
us_state | 2 character state code (“NY”, “CA”, “IL”, “CT”, etc), or list of several states |
ca_province | 2 character province code (“QC”, “ON”, “MB”, etc), or list of several provinces |
Config Option | Type | Required? | Default | Explanation |
remove_no_location | boolean | no | true | If any answers have a location matching the requester, then eliminate all answers without any location. If set to false, then answers without location are kept instead. |
Geofence Regional
The geofence_regional filter eliminates answers which are not in the same geographical region (e.g., Europe, Asiapac, or US-East) as the requester.
Input Metadata | Type |
georegion | One of “US-EAST”, “US-WEST”, “US-CENTRAL”, “EUROPE”, “SOUTH-AMERICA”, “AFRICA”, “ASIAPAC”; or a list of several of these |
Config Option | Type | Required? | Default | Explanation |
remove_no_georegion | boolean | no | true | If any answers have a georegion matching the requester, then eliminate all answers without any georegion. If set to false, then answers without georegion are kept instead. |
Geotarget Country
The geotarget_country filter sorts answers by distance to the country (and, if applicable, US state or Canadian province) of the requester.
Input Metadata | Type |
country | 2 character ISO code (“US”, “GB”, “JP”, etc), or list of several countries |
us_state | 2 character state code (“NY”, “CA”, “IL”, “CT”, etc), or list of several states |
ca_province | 2 character province code (“QC”, “ON”, “MB”, etc), or list of several provinces |
Geotarget Latlong
The geotarget_latlong filter sorts answers by distance to the requester based on latitude and longitude.
Input Metadata | Type |
latitude | Float between -90 and 90 |
longitude | Float between -180 and 180 |
Geotarget Regional
The geotarget_regional filter sorts answers by distance to the geographical region (e.g., Europe, Asiapac, or US-East) of the requester.
Input Metadata | Type |
georegion | One of “US-EAST”, “US-WEST”, “US-CENTRAL”, “EUROPE”, “SOUTH-AMERICA”, “AFRICA”, “ASIAPAC”; or a list of several of these |
Netfence ASN
The netfence_asn filter eliminates answers whose ASN does not match the ASN of the requester’s IP.
Input Metadata | Type |
asn | List of integers |
Config Option | Type | Required? | Default | Explanation |
remove_no_asn | boolean | no | true | If any answers have an ASN matching the requester, then eliminate all answers without any ASN. If set to false, then answers without ASN are kept instead. |
Netfence Prefix
The netfence_prefix filter eliminates answers whose list of ip prefixes does not match the requester’s IP.
Input Metadata | Type |
ip_prefixes | List of strings |
Config Option | Type | Required? | Default | Explanation |
remove_no_ip_prefixes | boolean | no | true | If any answers have an ip prefix matching the requester, then eliminate all answers without any ip prefix. If set to false, then answers without ip prefix are kept instead. |
Priority
The priority filter examines the “priority” metadata field, and finds the lowest priority value from among all answers. It then returns all the answers that have exactly that priority value.
Input Metadata | Type |
priority | Unsigned (non-negative) int - should be between 0 and 5. By default, lower numbers correspond to a higher “priority” - an answer with a priority of 0 will be picked over one with a priority of 1. |
Config Option | Type | Required? | Default | Explanation |
eliminate | boolean | no | true | If enabled, rather than sorting and returning all answers, the priority filter will just find the answer with the lowest priority value and return only that, eliminating all others. (If there are multiple answers tied for highest priority, it will return all of them.) If this is set to “false”, then the filter sorts the answers rather than eliminating them, just like the Cost filter does. |
Note: any answers that do not have any associated priority metadata will always be considered last. They will always be eliminated (unless no answers have priority metadata, in which case the filter will do nothing), and the “sort” option will always put them at the end of the sort order.
Pulsar
The Pulsar filter sorts answers based on real-time routing data. Each answer is associated with a specific jobid, which is tied to a job that gathers statistics and telemetry that is used to rate the answer.
The Pulsar filter requires the “pulsar” input metadata field, which is a custom data structure. It always must be a dictionary, nested inside a list. The fields of the dictionary are as follows:
Parameter | Type | Description | Example | Required? |
job_id | string | The string ID of the pulsar job to be associated with this record. | ‘abc123’ | Yes |
granularities | List of strings | Specifies whether to use “geo”, “geo_asn” or both. We recommend using both. | Only 3 possible values: [‘geo’], [‘asn’], or [‘geo_asn’] | Yes |
bias | string | The bias to be associated with this answer - when Pulsar is comparing different latencies, it will apply this modifier to this answer to prioritize or de-prioritize it. Must take the form of a mathematical operator (one of ‘+’, ‘-’, or ‘*’) followed by a number which must be a positive float. The ‘+’ and ‘-’ operators add or subtract the specified number of milliseconds to the answer’s latency, and the ‘*’ operator scales the answer’s latency by the specified amount. | ‘+10’, ‘-55’, ‘*0.5’, ‘*2’ | No |
a5m_cutoff | float | The 5 minute availability cutoff to be associated with this answer. If availability of the Pulsar job associated with this answer over the last 5 minutes is lower than this value, this answer will be excluded from consideration. Must be a float between 0 and 1 (inclusive). | 0.9 | No |
Config Option | Type | Required? | Default | Explanation |
sort_descending | boolean | no | false | If enabled, the Pulsar filter sorts answers in descending order, from highest to lowest (instead of from lowest to highest). This is useful if the Pulsar metric you are routing with is best when maximized. |
Example Request:
Example:
“meta”: {
“pulsar”: [
{
“jobid”: “abc123”,
“granularities”: [“geo”, “geo_asn”],
“bias”: “+30”,
“a5m_cutoff”: 0.85
}
]
}
Pulsar Stabilize
The pulsar_stabilize filter analyzes real-time routing data, just like the Pulsar filter, but instead of sorting answers, it eliminates all answers that are a certain amount worse than the best answer. Therefore, all answers that perform “reasonably close” to best are kept, and what exactly constitutes “reasonably” can be configured by the user. All answers that aren’t eliminated are kept in the same order as before, so the results of any previous filters are maintained.
The pulsar_stabilize filter requires the “pulsar” input metadata field, which is a custom data structure. It always must be a dictionary, nested inside a list. The fields of the dictionary are as follows:
Parameter | Type | Description | Example | Required? |
job_id | string | The string ID of the Pulsar job to be associated with this record. | ‘abc123’ | Yes |
granularities | List of strings | Specifies whether to use “geo”, “geo_asn” or both. We recommend using both. | Only 3 possible values: [‘geo’], [‘asn’], or [‘geo_asn’] | Yes |
bias | string | The bias to be associated with this answer - when Pulsar is comparing different latencies, it will apply this modifier to this answer to prioritize or de-prioritize it. Must take the form of a mathematical operator (one of ‘+’, ‘-’, or ‘*’) followed by a number which must be a positive float. The ‘+’ and ‘-’ operators add or subtract the specified number of milliseconds to the answer’s latency, and the ‘*’ operator scales the answer’s latency by the specified amount. | ‘+10’, ‘-55’, ‘*0.5’, ‘*2’ | No |
a5m_cutoff | float | The 5 minute availability cutoff to be associated with this answer. If availability of the Pulsar job associated with this answer over the last 5 minutes is lower than this value, this answer will be excluded from consideration. Must be a float between 0 and 1 (inclusive). | 0.9 | No |
Config Option | Type | Required? | Default | Explanation |
stabilization_threshold | string | yes | Defines the threshold to use to decide which answers are kept. This is a string, which must contain a positive int, optionally followed with a ‘%’ sign. (E.x.: ‘100’, ‘30%’) If the value is just an int, then the cutoff value is calculated as the value (e.g., latency) of the best performing answer, plus this number of milliseconds. If the value is a percentage, then the cutoff will be the value of the best performing answer, plus that percentage of itself. (So if the stabilization_threshold is ‘30%’, the cutoff will be 130% of the best answer’s latency.) | |
sort_descending | boolean | no | false | If enabled, the pulsar_stabilize filter bases the cutoff on the highest answer instead of the lowest, and removes all answers below that cutoff instead of above. The cutoff will be the pulsar value of the highest answer, minus whatever amount is specified by the stabilization_threshold, instead of plus like normal. |

Select First N
The select_first_n filter eliminates all answers except for the first N, where N is specified in the filter config.
Config Option | Type | Required? | Default | Explanation |
N | int | no | 1 | The number of answers to keep. All answers after the first N answers will be eliminated. |
Select First Region
The select_first_region filter simply returns all answers in the same region as the first answer. There is no metadata input or filter config. In the portal this is called “select first group”.
Shed Load
The shed_load filter proportionally eliminates or keeps answers based on how the load (or another selected metric) compares to the answer’s configured low and high watermarks. If the metric is lower than the low water mark, the answer will ALWAYS be kept. If the metric is higher than the high water mark, the answer will ALWAYS be removed. If the metric is between the low and high watermarks, it will be randomly kept or discarded with a probability based on where it is relative to the watermarks. (e.g., exactly halfway between the watermarks means a 50% chance of being discarded, a low watermark of 10 with a high watermark of 20 and a metric of 12 means a 20% chance of being discarded, etc)
Config Option | Type | Required? | Default | Explanation |
metric | String - one of ‘loadavg’, ‘connections’, or ‘requests’ | yes | ‘loadavg’ | The metadata field to use with the low/high watermark to determine load to shed. Allows logic to be based on average load, number of connections, or number of requests. |
Input Metadata | Type |
low_watermark | float |
high_watermark | float |
loadavg | float |
connections | int |
requests | int |
Shuffle
The shuffle filter randomly sorts the answers. There is no metadata input or filter config.
Sticky Shuffle
The sticky filter sorts answers uniquely based on the IP address of the requester. This means that while different requesters get random orderings of answers, the same requester always gets the same results.
Sticky Region
The sticky filter sorts regions uniquely based on the IP address of the requester. This ensures that the same requester always gets an answer from the same region.
Config Option | Type | Required? | Default | Explanation |
sticky_by_network | bool | no | false | Apply stickiness by subnet rather than individual IP (/24 for IPv4 or /56 for IPv6). Useful to help ensure users load balanced across multiple recursors get the same answer. |
Up
The up filter eliminates all answers where the “up” metadata field is false or missing
Input Metadata | Type |
up | ‘true’, ‘false’, ‘1’, ‘0’, or int or boolean |
Weighted Shuffle
The weighted_shuffle filter shuffles answers randomly based on their “weight”. Answers with higher weight will be first more often.
Input Metadata | Type |
weight | float |
Weighted Sticky Shuffle
The weighted_sticky filter shuffles answers randomly based on their “weight”, AND maintains consistency per requester like the sticky shuffle filter. Answers with higher weight will be first more often, and the same requester will consistently get the same results.
Config Option | Type | Required? | Default | Explanation |
sticky_by_network | bool | no | false | Apply stickiness by subnet rather than individual IP (/24 for IPv4 or /56 for IPv6). Useful to help ensure users load balanced across multiple recursors get the same answer. |
Input Metadata | Type |
weight | float |
