+Using the API
+=============
+
+Client
+------
+
+:class:`Client <gcloud.dns.client.Client>` objects provide a means to
+configure your DNS applications.  Eash instance holds both a ``project``
+and an authenticated connection to the DNS service.
+
+For an overview of authentication in ``gcloud-python``, see :doc:`gcloud-auth`.
+
+Assuming your environment is set up as described in that document,
+create an instance of :class:`Client <gcloud.dns.client.Client>`.
+
+  .. doctest::
+
+     >>> from gcloud import dns
+     >>> client = dns.Client()
+
+Projects
+--------
+
+A project is the top-level container in the ``DNS`` API:  it is tied
+closely to billing, and can provide default access control across all its
+datasets.  If no ``project`` is passed to the client container, the library
+attempts to infer a project using the environment (including explicit
+environment variables, GAE, or GCE).
+
+To override the project inferred from the environment, pass an explicit
+``project`` to the constructor, or to either of the alternative
+``classmethod`` factories:
+
+  .. doctest::
+
+     >>> from gcloud import dns
+     >>> client = dns.Client(project='PROJECT_ID')
+
+Project Quotas
+--------------
+
+Query the quotas for a given project:
+
+  .. doctest::
+
+     >>> from gcloud import dns
+     >>> client = dns.Client(project='PROJECT_ID')
+     >>> quotas = client.quotas()  # API request
+     >>> for key, value in sorted(quotas.items()):
+     ...     print('%s: %s' % (key, value))
+     managedZones: 10000
+     resourceRecordsPerRrset: 100
+     rrsetsPerManagedZone: 10000
+     rrsetAdditionsPerChange: 100
+     rrsetDeletionsPerChange: 100
+     totalRrdataSizePerChange: 10000
+
+
+Project ACLs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each project has an access control list granting reader / writer / owner
+permission to one or more entities.  This list cannot be queried or set
+via the API:  it must be managed using the Google Developer Console.
+
+
+Managed Zones
+-------------
+
+A "managed zone" is the container for DNS records for the same DNS name
+suffix and has a set of name servers that accept and responds to queries:
+
+  .. doctest::
+
+     >>> from gcloud import dns
+     >>> client = dns.Client(project='PROJECT_ID')
+     >>> zone = client.zone('acme-co', description='Acme Company zone',
+     ...                    dns_name='example.com')
+
+     >>> zone.exists()  # API request
+     False
+     >>> zone.create()  # API request
+     >>> zone.exists()  # API request
+     True
+
+List the zones for a given project:
+
+  .. doctest::
+
+     >>> from gcloud import dns
+     >>> client = dns.Client(project='PROJECT_ID')
+     >>> zones = client.list_zones()  # API request
+     >>> [zone.name for zone in zones]
+     ['acme-co']
+
+
+Resource Record Sets
+--------------------
+
+Each managed zone exposes a read-only set of resource records:
+
+  .. doctest::
+
+     >>> from gcloud import dns
+     >>> client = dns.Client(project='PROJECT_ID')
+     >>> zone = client.zone('acme-co')
+     >>> records, page_token = zone.list_resources()  # API request
+     >>> [(record.name, record.type, record.ttl, record.rrdatas) for record in records]
+     [('example.com.', 'SOA', 21600, ['ns-cloud1.googlecomains.com dns-admin.google.com 1 21600 3600 1209600 300'])]
+
+.. note::
+
+   The ``page_token`` returned from ``zone.list_resources()`` will be
+   an opaque string if there are more resources than can be returned in a
+   single request.  To enumerate them all, repeat calling
+   ``zone.list_resources()``, passing the ``page_token``, until the token
+   is ``None``.  E.g.
+
+   .. doctest::
+
+      >>> records, page_token = zone.list_resources()  # API request
+      >>> while page_token is not None:
+      ...     next_batch, page_token = zone.list_resources(
+      ...         page_token=page_token)  # API request
+      ...     records.extend(next_batch)
+
+
+Change requests
+---------------
+
+Update the resource record set for a zone by creating a change request
+bundling additions to or deletions from the set.
+
+  .. doctest::
+
+     >>> import time
+     >>> from gcloud import dns
+     >>> client = dns.Client(project='PROJECT_ID')
+     >>> zone = client.zone('acme-co')
+     >>> record = dns.ResourceRecord(name='www.example.com', type='CNAME')
+     >>> change = zone.change_request(additions=[record])
+     >>> change.begin()  # API request
+     >>> while change.status != 'done':
+     ...     print('Waiting for change to complete')
+     ...     time.sleep(60)  # or whatever interval is appropriate
+     ...     change.reload()  # API request
+
+
+List changes made to the resource record set for a given zone:
+
+  .. doctest::
+
+     >>> from gcloud import dns
+     >>> client = dns.Client(project='PROJECT_ID')
+     >>> zone = client.zone('acme-co')
+     >>> changes = []
+     >>> changes, page_token = zone.list_changes()  # API request
+
+.. note::
+
+   The ``page_token`` returned from ``zone.list_changes()`` will be
+   an opaque string if there are more changes than can be returned in a
+   single request.  To enumerate them all, repeat calling
+   ``zone.list_changes()``, passing the ``page_token``, until the token
+   is ``None``.  E.g.:
+
+   .. doctest::
+
+      >>> changes, page_token = zone.list_changes()  # API request
+      >>> while page_token is not None:
+      ...     next_batch, page_token = zone.list_changes(
+      ...         page_token=page_token)  # API request
+      ...     changes.extend(next_batch)
