Get DNS zonefile

GET

/domains/{domain}/dns/zone

Retrieve the DNS records of a specific domain as a BIND style zonefile. The response contains the complete zone, including the SOA and the apex NS records. data.zone is a JSON string, so line breaks and tabs appear as \n and \t in the response; decode the JSON once to get the raw zonefile. Not available for domains whose DNS is managed through Cloudflare.
