Release Note

New Domain resources can now be created via the DigitalOcean v2 API without providing an IP address. The previous behavior, which would automatically create an A record pointing to the apex domain, will be retained for backwards-compatibility when an IP address is provided.

This example demonstrates how to create a new domain without providing an IP address:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_API_TOKEN" \
    -d '{"name":"example.com"}' \
    "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains"
