What is the schema creating a new DNS record? about node-cloudflare HOT 3 CLOSED

Nvm it turns out the DNS record already existed, but the error message misled me to think that I was providing the wrong data. More descriptive error messages would be nice.

I'm glad you got it working!

😞 Indeed. We'll try to get this improved.

This bit me as well today. The error code should have been 1046 according to the docs here. Instead my request was returned as

{       
   "host": "api.cloudflare.com",       
   "hostname": "api.cloudflare.com",       
   "message": "Response code 400 (Bad Request)",      
   "method": "POST",       
   "path": "/client/v4/zones/<omitted>/dns_records",     
   "statusCode": 400,      
   "statusMessage": "Bad Request" 
}, 

I ran the same request with curl and got the output

{"result":null,"success":false,"errors":[{"code":81057,"message":"Record already exists."}],"messages":[]}
