API Documentation
Choose which API version you want to use for your dynamic DNS updates
API Version 1
The V1 API is designed for compatibility with DuckDNS and other simple dynamic DNS clients. It uses a single account-wide token that can update any of your domains.
- DuckDNS compatible API for easy migration
- Insecure legacy account-wide token
- Confusing API design
API Version 2
The V2 API provides more granular control with domain-specific tokens and advanced features. Recommended for new integrations and applications requiring fine-grained access control.
- Secure domain-specific tokens
- Administer multiple tokens per domain
- Modern API design
- Clearer error messages
Quick Start
For DuckDNS Users:
If you're migrating from DuckDNS, use the V1 API and create a legacy token. The V1 API provides the same API interface you are used to.

If you're building a new application, we recommend the V2 API for better security and more features.
