1. Run the following POST request in your terminal, replacing [TOKEN VALUE] with your personal token to create a new zone:

curl --location 'https://api.azionapi.net/intelligent_dns' \
--header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]' \
--header 'Accept: application/json; version=3' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
    "name": "New zone",
    "domain": "yourdomain.com",
    "is_active": true
}'

2. You’ll receive a response similar to this:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "nx_ttl": 3600,
      "domain": "yourdomain.com",
      "retry": 7200,
      "name": "New zone",
      "nameservers": [
        "ns1.aziondns.net",
        "ns2.aziondns.com",
        "ns3.aziondns.org"
      ],
      "soa_ttl": 3600,
      "is_active": true,
      "refresh": 43200,
      "expiry": 1209600,
      "id": 1234
    }
  ],
  "schema_version": 3
}

Wait a few minutes for the changes to propagate and your zone will be created.
