Parameters
Whether to include shadow metadata in the meta field of each record in the response. See Shadowed records.
Allows searching in multiple properties of a DNS record simultaneously. This parameter is intended for human users, not automation. Its exact behavior is intentionally left unspecified and is subject to change in the future. This parameter works independently of the match setting. For automated searches, please use the other available parameters.
Filters to records at or below the given NS delegation name, excluding the NS records that form the delegation itself. The value must be a subdomain of the zone; the zone apex is not accepted. Requires include_shadow_metadata=true. See Shadowed records.
Returns NS records that shadow the given name, searching at the name itself and each of its ancestor names within the zone, excluding the zone apex. The value must be a subdomain of the zone; the zone apex is not accepted. See Shadowed records.
