Cloud DNS API, REST: DnsZone.UpdateRecordSets

Written by
Updated at October 3, 2025

Method with strict control for changing zone state. Returns error when:

  1. Deleted record is not found.
  2. Found record with matched type and name but different TTL or value.
  3. Attempted to add record with existing name and type.
    Deletions happen first. If a record with the same name and type exists in both lists,
    then the existing record will be deleted, and a new one added.

An Operation resource. For more information, see Operation.

Field

Description

id

string

ID of the operation.

description

string

Description of the operation. 0-256 characters long.

createdAt

string (date-time)

Creation timestamp.

String in RFC3339 text format. The range of possible values is from
0001-01-01T00:00:00Z to 9999-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z, i.e. from 0 to 9 digits for fractions of a second.

To work with values in this field, use the APIs described in the
Protocol Buffers reference.
In some languages, built-in datetime utilities do not support nanosecond precision (9 digits).

createdBy

string

ID of the user or service account who initiated the operation.

modifiedAt

string (date-time)

The time when the Operation resource was last modified.

String in RFC3339 text format. The range of possible values is from

To work with values in this field, use the APIs described in the
Protocol Buffers reference.
In some languages, built-in datetime utilities do not support nanosecond precision (9 digits).

done

boolean

If the value is false, it means the operation is still in progress.
If true, the operation is completed, and either error or response is available.

response

RecordSetDiff

The normal response of the operation in case of success.
If the original method returns no data on success, such as Delete,
the response is google.protobuf.Empty.

the response should be the target resource of the operation.
Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the response type, if any.
