api.delete_record('hello.example.com', 123)

# To delete multiple records:

api.delete_records('hello.example.com', [123, 143])

# To delete all records in the domain:

api.delete_all_records('hello.example.com')

To create a record:

api.create_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', 'A', '127.0.0.1', { 'ttl' => '60' })

api.create_a_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

api.create_aaaa_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

api.create_ptr_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

api.create_txt_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

api.create_cname_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

api.create_ns_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

api.create_spf_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

# Arguments are: domain_name, name, priority, value, options = {}
