Hi there @ssayitoglu,

According to the DigitalOcean API documentation here, in order to update a DNS record, you have to use a PUT request rather than POST.

The request would look like this:

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -d '{"name":"blog"}' "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains/your_domain.com/records/3352896" 

Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby
