# PowerDNS Provider
## Configuration
To use this provider, add an entry to `creds.json` with `TYPE` set to `POWERDNS`
along with your [API URL, API Key and Server ID](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/http-api/index.html).
In most cases the Server id is `localhost`.
Example:
```json
{
"powerdns": {
"TYPE": "POWERDNS",
"apiKey": "your-key",
"apiUrl": "http://localhost",
"serverName": "localhost"
}
}
```
## Metadata
Following metadata are available:
```js
{
'default_ns': [
'a.example.com.',
'b.example.com.'
],
'dnssec_on_create': false
}
```
- `default_ns` sets the nameserver which are used
- `dnssec_on_create` specifies if DNSSEC should be enabled when creating zones
## Usage
An example `dnsconfig.js` configuration:
```js
var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar("none");
var DSP_POWERDNS = NewDnsProvider("powerdns");
D("example.tld", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(DSP_POWERDNS),
A("test", "1.2.3.4")
);
```
## Activation
See the [PowerDNS documentation](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/http-api/index.html) how the API can be enabled.
