@iliana
Please explain the concept of a DNS API to me without involving iliana? (That is, remove her username from your reply?)

@Terxbor I had to read the thread for context, otherwise I wasn't sure what iliana meant myself. But the idea seems to be this: DNS hosts usually have either some web form or some text file that you have to use to configure which records should be in your DNS zone. iliana wants to offer an alternative, where programs can automatically add or remove records without too much code, so it's no good having to mangle a text file or script access to a web form. Is that a helpful explanation?
