Practical request workflow

WHM API 1 listzones should be run only after the target account and expected result are known. Start with a read-only lookup when one is available, then make the smallest required change and verify the resource again.

  1. Confirm ownership of the domain and identify the authoritative DNS zone or redirect source.
  2. Read the current record or redirect set before making a change.
  3. Validate names, record types, targets and TTL values supplied to listzones.
  4. Query the authoritative service again and test from a caching resolver or browser.

CLI request example

whmapi1 listzones

How to read the response

For DNS and redirect operations, compare the returned record identifiers and values with an authoritative lookup. Propagation or browser cache can delay what users see even after the API accepted the change.

Record the request time, account and domain together with the returned status. A successful transport response does not by itself prove that the requested resource was created, changed or deleted exactly as intended.
