Edge DNS API Troubleshooting

AKAMAICDN Record Creation

When troubleshooting issues with AKAMAICDN record creation, verify that the API client has the following permissions:

  • EdgeHostnames – Viewer
  • Fast DNS – Viewer
  • CNAMEs – Viewer

These permissions are not automatically included in standard roles. If needed, create a custom role, such as ‘DNS Admin plus EKH (view)’.

Change list not visible to another user or API client

Change lists in Edge DNS are specific to both a user and a zone. A change list created by one user (either via UI or API) is not visible or accessible to another user. If an API client uses different credentials than the UI user who created the change list, it will not be able to see or modify that list. Instead, the API client must create its own change list.

API request to modify an existing change list returns 404

The response only includes change lists associated with the currently authenticated user. If a different user or an API client with separate credentials created a change list, it will not appear in the results.
