⚠️ DNS is now available in Hetzner Console (see beta FAQ). After beta ended, it is no longer possible to create new zones in the old DNS Console. We recommend that all customers migrate their zones to Hetzner Console by the end of this year (see migration guide).

To access the Hetzner DNS API, you will need an API access token.

Generating an API access token
