API Email + API Key
The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API, used in conjunction with a Global API key.
**Example:**X-Auth-Email: user@example.com
The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. When possible, use API tokens instead of Global API keys.
**Example:**X-Auth-Key: 144c9defac04969c7bfad8efaa8ea194

result: optional DNSSEC { algorithm, digest, digest\_algorithm, 11 more }
algorithm: optional string
Algorithm key code.

digest: optional string
Digest hash.
Link to this property
digest\_algorithm: optional string
Type of digest algorithm.
Link to this property
digest\_type: optional string
Coded type for digest algorithm.
Link to this property
dnssec\_multi\_signer: optional boolean
If true, multi-signer DNSSEC is enabled on the zone, allowing multiple providers to serve a DNSSEC-signed zone at the same time. This is required for DNSKEY records (except those automatically generated by Cloudflare) to be added to the zone.
See Multi-signer DNSSEC for details.
Link to this property
dnssec\_presigned: optional boolean
If true, allows Cloudflare to transfer in a DNSSEC-signed zone including signatures from an external provider, without requiring Cloudflare to sign any records on the fly.
Note that this feature has some limitations. See Cloudflare as Secondary for details.
Link to this property
dnssec\_use\_nsec3: optional boolean
If true, enables the use of NSEC3 together with DNSSEC on the zone. Combined with setting dnssec\_presigned to true, this enables the use of NSEC3 records when transferring in from an external provider. If dnssec\_presigned is instead set to false (default), NSEC3 records will be generated and signed at request time.
See DNSSEC with NSEC3 for details.

ds: optional string
Full DS record.

flags: optional number
Flag for DNSSEC record.

key\_tag: optional number
