How to Export Your Route 53 DNS Records from AWS

            
    
                
  1. 
                    Open AWS CloudShell
    
                    Go to the AWS Console and click the CloudShell icon in the top navigation bar. Wait for the terminal
                    to load.
                
    2. 
                
  2. 
                    List Your Hosted Zones
    
                    
    
                        
                        
    aws route53 list-hosted-zones
    
                    
    
                    Find the Id of the zone you want to export (it looks like
                    /hostedzone/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX).
                    
    
                    To filter for a particular domain name (e.g., your-domain-name):
                    
    
                        
                        
    aws route53 list-hosted-zones --query 'HostedZones[?contains(Name, `your-domain-name`)]'
    
                    
    
                    This will show only hosted zones containing your domain name in the results.

  3. 
                    Export DNS Records to JSON
    
                    Replace ZXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with your actual hosted zone ID (omit the
                    /hostedzone/ prefix):
                    
    
                        
                        
    aws route53 list-resource-record-sets \
  --hosted-zone-id ZXXXXXXXXXXXXXX \
  --output json \
  > r53.json
    
                    
    
                    This creates a file named r53.json in your CloudShell home directory.
                
    4. 
                
  4. 
                    Download the JSON File to Your Computer
    
                    In CloudShell, click the Actions menu (top right of the terminal window) and choose
                    Download file.
    
                    Enter r53.json as the file to download. The file will be downloaded to your computer
                    and is ready for use in this app.
