## Import DNS Records

`dns.records.import_(RecordImportParams**kwargs)  -> 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

- `zone_id: str`

  Identifier.

- `file: str`

  BIND config to import.

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

- `proxied: Optional[str]`

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

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

### Returns

- `class RecordImportResponse: …`

  - `recs_added: Optional[float]`

    Number of DNS records added.

  - `total_records_parsed: Optional[float]`

    Total number of DNS records parsed.

### Example

```python
import os
from cloudflare import Cloudflare

client = Cloudflare(
    api_token=os.environ.get("CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)
response = client.dns.records.import_(
    zone_id="023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353",
    file="www.example.com. 300 IN  A 127.0.0.1",
)
print(response.recs_added)
```
