Understanding How The API Works »
Creating PX Records using the API requires specific syntax depending on whether you are using REST or SOAP. Use this table to find the syntax for your command.
See RFC 2163 for more information about PX records.
See RFC 822 for more information about the domain name part of MCGAM.
