# PUT /api/v1/dns/zone/import

> Import a BIND zone file

- Group: dns
- Tier: W
- Required scope: write:dns
- Docs: https://api.inleed.com/reference/dns/import-dns-zone

## Description

Parses the bind `zone` text, rejects any record outside the zone, revalidates every record, then applies the diff to the live zone. `mode` defaults to `replace` (mirror the file, keeping NS); `merge` only adds.

## Body

- `input` — string (required). A domain, email address, website URL, or Inleed service id — for example example.se, info@example.se or 42976. Resolved to the owning account automatically, and the resolved target is echoed back in the response.
- `zone` — string (required). Up to 262144 characters.
- `mode` — enum. One of replace, merge, null.

## Request

```bash
curl -X PUT "https://mcp.inleed.com/api/v1/dns/zone/import" \
