Link an address, or create an empty DDNS slot.
const url = 'https://api.opdns.io/v1/profiles/example/linked-ips';const options = { method: 'POST', headers: { cookie: 'opdns_session=<opdns_session>', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: '{"ip":"example"}'};
try { const response = await fetch(url, options); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data);} catch (error) { console.error(error);}curl --request POST \ --url https://api.opdns.io/v1/profiles/example/linked-ips \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --cookie opdns_session=<opdns_session> \ --data '{ "ip": "example" }'Token scope: profiles:write. Only public unicast IPv4 addresses. Omit ip to
create a slot that the DDNS URL fills. An address linked to any other profile is
a 409 ip_conflict; addresses are never moved silently. The DDNS token is
returned once.
