Monitoring No-IP DNS
Monitoring your No-IP DNS records automatically is made easy with ZoneWatcher. After you've added your account credentials, we will automatically import all of your domains and begin monitoring them for changes.
Generating your No-IP API Key
To get started adding your No-IP DNS account, you'll first want to generate an API key from the No-IP API Keys page. We use this key to automatically fetch your domains and their associated DNS records.
Navigate to My No-IP → API Keys and click "Create API Key". Give your key a descriptive name (e.g., "ZoneWatcher Integration") and ensure it has read access to your DNS zones and records.
Important: Make sure to copy your API key immediately after creation and store it securely until you've added it to ZoneWatcher.
Creating your No-IP Provider
Once you've generated your API key, you can create your new No-IP provider on ZoneWatcher by giving it a descriptive name and pasting in the API key you generated.
After entering your credentials, click the "Save" button. ZoneWatcher will verify your API key and begin importing your domains.
Monitoring Your Zones
After you've created your No-IP provider, we will sync all the zones associated with your account and their associated DNS records. You'll be able to view them from either the Provider's page or the Zone Dashboard.
ZoneWatcher will automatically check for changes to your DNS records on a regular schedule. When changes are detected, you'll receive notifications through your configured notification channels, allowing you to stay informed about any modifications to your DNS configuration.
