# Netlify

### Configuration

To use this provider, add an entry to `creds.json` with `TYPE` set to `NETLIFY` along with a Netlify account personal access token. You can also optionally add an account slug. This is *typically* your username on Netlify.

Examples:

{% code title="creds.json" %}

```json
{
  "netlify": {
    "TYPE": "NETLIFY",
    "token": "your-netlify-account-access-token",
    "slug": "account-slug" // this is optional
  }
}
```

{% endcode %}

### Metadata

This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to Netlify.

### Usage

An example configuration:

{% code title="dnsconfig.js" %}

```javascript
var REG_NETLIFY = NewRegistrar("netlify");
var DSP_NETLIFY = NewDnsProvider("netlify");

D("example.com", REG_NETLIFY, DnsProvider(DSP_NETLIFY),
    A("test", "1.2.3.4"),
);
```

{% endcode %}

### Activation

DNSControl depends on a Netlify account personal access token.

### Caveats

Empty MX records are not supported.
