# POST /api/v1/domains/{domain}/nameservers

> Hold a nameserver change for confirmation

- Group: domains
- Tier: W
- Required scope: write:domains
- Docs: https://api.inleed.com/reference/domains/set-nameservers

## Description

Validates ownership and every host, reads the current nameservers, then returns `{status:"confirmation_required", confirmationUrl, …}`. It changes nothing on this call — show the human the URL; they approve it in the client area. Poll `get_pending_action`.

## Path parameters

- `domain` — string (required)

## Body

- `input` — string. 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.
- `inputs` — string[]. Several domains to repoint in one confirmation (2–25 identifiers, each as for input): the customer sees one card listing every domain with its current and new nameservers, and approves once. Use this — not repeated calls — when the customer wants several domains on the same nameservers.
- `nameservers` — string[]. The full set of nameserver hostnames to set (2–13), e.g. ns1.inleed.net.
- `attempt_key` — string. Idempotency key for this intent. Keep it stable across retries so a timed-out retry cannot buy the same thing twice.
