With the Domain DNS API you can manage DNS zones in
Google's Cloud DNS. This allows you to connect
domains that you've registered through Wix to non-Wix websites. You can also use
the Domain DNS API to manage DNS records for external domains that are connected
by nameservers to Wix sites.
Using the Domain DNS API you can:
- Preview DNS zones
- Manage DNS zones in Google's Cloud DNS
Learn more about:
- Connecting external domains to Wix sites with the Connected Domains API
- Managing Wix Premium subscriptions with the Resellers API
It’s important to note the following points before starting to code:
- We recommend authenticating calls with an
API key for your main account instead of using a key for the relevant
sub-account. This will not affect the responses to calls, which remain consistent across API keys,
provided you have the necessary permissions.
- Wix limits DNS records to 50 values per type. External providers may support
a different maximum number of DNS records for a specific type, Wix doesn't
validate that you don't exceed these external limits.
- You can only update DNS zones
for external domains that are connected by nameservers to a Wix site. You
can't use the Domain DNS API for external domains that are connected by
pointing to a Wix site because the DNS isn't saved in Wix for this connection
type.
- Registered domain: Domain that's purchased, registered, and billed through Wix.
- External domain: Domain that has been purchased through an external provider, not Wix.
- Domain name: The domain name includes the
top-level domain (TLD).
Examples for TLDs are
com, net, or org.
- DNS record: Database record in the
Domain Name System that's
used to map a human-readable URL to an IP address.
- DNS zone: A DNS zone
is an administrative subdivision of the DNS namespace. When you
Create a DNS zone
the values are uploaded to
Google's Cloud DNS.
- Account: Wix account that includes access to associated sites.
- Team account: Account type that supports collaborative work by having
multiple sets of login credentials. This is especially helpful for agencies
and resellers when managing a large number of customer sites. In Wix Studio
team accounts are called workspaces. An agency may have multiple workspaces
in Wix Studio, while in Wix Editor they're limited to a single team account.
- Child account: Account that's contained within another account, forming a
hierarchical structure. The owners of the child account are only able to
interact with sites that belong to the child account. This setup is
particularly useful for agencies and resellers since it limits client access
to relevant sites only.
