TITLE

XML-RPC doesn't return TTL for DNS records

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

Plesk version 18.0.39

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

Plesk supports modifying TTL values for individual since version 18.0.31, however but this isn't available for the XML-API yet. This isn't a bug (obviously), but rather a lacking feature of core functionally in the XML-API (imho). Since the REST API doesn't seem to support adding DNS records to a domain (yet), it would be useful to have TTL supported in the RCP-XML api.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Body for XML-RCP API

<packet><dns><get_rec><filter><dns-zone-name>example.com</dns-zone-name></filter></get_rec></dns></packet>

ACTUAL RESULT

XML Response

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<packet version="1.6.9.1">
    <dns>
        <get_rec>
            <result>
                <status>ok</status>
                <id>1</id>
                <data>
                    <site-id>302</site-id>
                    <type>CNAME</type>
                    <host>www.example.com.</host>
                    <value>example.com.</value>
                    <opt></opt>
                </data>
            </result>
        </get_rec>
    </dns>
</packet>

EXPECTED RESULT

XML Response

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<packet version="1.6.9.1">
    <dns>
        <get_rec>
            <result>

                <data>
                    <site-id>302</site-id>
                    <type>CNAME</type>
                    <host>www.example.com.</host>
                    <value>example.com.</value>
                    <ttl>1800</ttl>
                    <opt></opt>

We do not have plans to improve API-RPC this way. Since Plesk Obsidian 18.0.36, it is already possible to manage TTL via REST API.

Thats unfortunate, because the REST API doesn't seem to support adding DNS records. Even tough the change log for Plesk 18.0.36 mentions the option to add DNS records via the REST API the methode actually isn't available. Only methodes for retrieving (GET) or updating (PUT) DNS records are actually available for the REST API.



Which means there is no option to add DNS records to Plesk with TTL values with either the REST API or the XML-RCP API.

Or am I perhaps missing something?

@Rasp, you are correct. Internal task PPP-55178 ("Allow adding/removing DNS records via REST API") is created.
