# Linode Provider
## Configuration
In your credentials file, you must provide your
[Linode Personal Access Token](https://cloud.linode.com/profile/tokens)
```json
{
"linode": {
"token": "your-linode-personal-access-token"
}
}
```
## Metadata
This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to Linode.
## Usage
Example Javascript:
```js
var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar('none', 'NONE')
var LINODE = NewDnsProvider("linode", "LINODE");
D("example.tld", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(LINODE),
A("test","1.2.3.4")
);
```
## Activation
[Create Personal Access Token](https://cloud.linode.com/profile/tokens)
## Caveats
Linode does not allow all TTLs, but only a specific subset of TTLs. The following TTLs are supported
([source](https://github.com/linode/manager/blob/master/src/domains/components/SelectDNSSeconds.js)):
- 300
- 3600
- 7200
- 14400
- 28800
- 57600
- 86400
- 172800
- 345600
- 604800
- 1209600
- 2419200
The provider will automatically round up your TTL to one of these values. For example, 600 seconds would become 3600
seconds, but 300 seconds would stay 300 seconds.
