IP Update API is legacy but allows shorter TTL

The IP Update API is described as legacy and the REST-API should be preferred according to the docs. However, when you have to update your IP, you want short TTLs which the normal API does not allow.

I saw the offer to request shorter TTLs, but the normal API does not seem to be a full replacement with the defaults yet because short TTLs are a big point of DynDNS.

So is the IP Update API eventually not legacy?

I think that is somewhat unfortunate wording in the documentation. I don’t think the IP Update API will go away anytime soon.

And as you noted, it is currently the only way to to get DynDNS RRsets to have the low TTL values.

So file a PR if it bothers you :wink:
