Question

If anyone has experience using the ZoneEdit API, I’d be grateful for your guidance. I’ve been trying to use it for a hour now and have gotten nowhere.

I started with a simple service, the getIP method in their UTIL service, doing:

curl -X POST -i -d "{'action':'getIP'} -H "Content-Type: text/json" https://newapi.zoneedit.com/Util.action

All I ever get in response though is:

{"success":false,"message":"Unknown directive: ''","map":[]}

Their docs: introduction, util methods

I’m not sure where I’m going wrong but any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I’m not familiar with the ZoneEdit api but I got the same error you did until I modified the request as follows:

curl -X POST -i -d "action=getIP" https://newapi.zoneedit.com/Util.action

That returned my IP address in plain text.
