This API method adds a new record to a zone. After adding one or more records to a zone the Commit Zone API method must be called in order to make the change(s) active.
Here you can access the deprecated “Add Zone Record” API method.

- recordvalue is the value of the record you want to create. The record value must be coherent with the record_type (ie. MX records must be in the “xx FQDN” format where xx is the MX priority, all IPs must be public, etc)
- ttlvalue is the record TTL in seconds, ranging from 30 to 86400
- base64_credentials is username:password in base64-encoded format (HTTP Basic Authentication)
