## Import DNS Records

`client.dns.records.import(RecordImportParamsparams, RequestOptionsoptions?): RecordImportResponse`

**post** `/zones/{zone_id}/dns_records/import`

You can upload your [BIND config](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_file "Zone file") through this endpoint. It assumes that cURL is called from a location with bind_config.txt (valid BIND config) present.

See [the documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/manage-dns-records/how-to/import-and-export/ "Import and export records") for more information.

### Parameters

- `params: RecordImportParams`

  - `zone_id: string`

    Path param: Identifier.

  - `file: string`

    Body param: BIND config to import.

    **Tip:** When using cURL, a file can be uploaded using `--form 'file=@bind_config.txt'`.

  - `proxied?: string`

    Body param: Whether or not proxiable records should receive the performance and security benefits of Cloudflare.

    The value should be either `true` or `false`.

### Returns

- `RecordImportResponse`

  - `recs_added?: number`

    Number of DNS records added.

  - `total_records_parsed?: number`

    Total number of DNS records parsed.

### Example

```node
import Cloudflare from 'cloudflare';

const client = new Cloudflare({
  apiToken: process.env['CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN'], // This is the default and can be omitted
});

const response = await client.dns.records.import({
  zone_id: '023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353',
  file: 'www.example.com. 300 IN  A 127.0.0.1',
});

console.log(response.recs_added);
```
