Hetzner is moving their DNS to the Cloud Console / Update your DNS TXT API integrations

As Hetzner moved their famous "storage boxes" from their separate administration tool to the Hetzner Cloud interface a while ago, they made the same move with the DNS API.
Like the last time this is a very straightforward process. There is a simple migrate button in the existing DNS admin interface to initiate the move, which should finish almost immediate.

Once migrated you find the DNS settings in a separate project.
Separate projects fro DNS can make sense, because each project can have it's separate API token.
The new API token is longer (more secure) than the existing one and if you move DNS domains to separate projects, you can have separate tokens per DNS domain.

DNS TXT API Changes

Along with the GUI changes the API has also been merged into the standard cloud API.
This means that for migrated domains you will need to use the new API.
It is specially important for ACME DNS TXT API integrations.

Check the tools you use, if they already updated their APIs.

The updated Domino CertMgr API has just been published today.
