Product integrations
Customize, integrate, and automate network services with the best API of any authoritative DNS provider
“API first” isn’t just a slogan at NS1. Every line of our code starts life as an API. NS1’s API isn’t limited by connections to legacy architectures - it is our architecture
Explore our Integrations
An API that's comprehensive, flexible, and easy to use
One API, all of NS1
Our entire solution is served by one API, so you can manage every part of your network infrastructure using the same set of commands, even as you scale
Developer experience
DevOps teams expect an API that matches their velocity. We put a lot of effort into documenting our API, so even the most complex API-related tasks are simple to implement
Flexibility
NS1’s REST API uses simple key/header-based authentication. Make API calls easily from any language or even the shell
Features of the NS1 API
Speedy automatic propagation
NS1’s global network propagates changes through our API in seconds, eliminating the risk of broken applications and user experiences
Capacity for days
On an average day, NS1 handles between two and four million API calls. We’ve seen individual customers make 2.5m DNS changes through our API on high traffic days, which we handle with plenty of capacity to spare
API-based traffic steering
With NS1, you can route DNS traffic by plugging data feeds into our API - a more flexible, programmable option than using the DNS protocol itself
Terraform & OctoDNS integration
NS1’s global network propagates changes through our API in seconds, eliminating the risk of broken applications and user experiences
We love to help. Seriously.
