Unable to add new zone/domain in PowerDNS using API

Question

I was trying to add new zone using following:

curl -X POST --data '{"name":"saugat.local", "kind": "Master","dnssec":false,"soa-edit":"INCEPTION-INCREMENT","masters": [], "nameservers": ["ns1.saugat.local"]}' -v -H 'X-API-Key: changeme' http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones | jq .

I was expecting, I'll add new zone but I got following error:

"error": "DNS Name 'saugat.local' is not canonical"

You need to add a trailing dot to make the domain in canonical shape

curl -X POST --data '{"name":"saugat.local.", "kind": "Master","dnssec":false,"soa-edit":"INCEPTION-INCREMENT","masters": [], "nameservers": ["ns1.saugat.local."]}' -v -H 'X-API-Key: changeme' http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones | jq .

this also gives me the following error: { "error": "Nameserver is not canonical: 'ns1.saugat.local'" } – Saugat Nepal Jan 27 '23 at 11:43
Just fixed the payload, as the nameserver also needs to be in canonical shape – san983 Feb 12 '23 at 01:29
