When the domain name contains an umlaut, I'm getting this error:

Error: Error creating zone. API returned HTTP 422 Unprocessable Entity error with message: '422 Unprocessable Entity: invalid invalid character for domain name'

So I'm suggesting that you're including the conversion to punycode in the provider - especially since (after a quick search) I couldn't find a conversion function in Terraform, so right now the conversion has to be done outside of Terraform (i.e. manually).

as workaround you can try using external data provider

something like this should work

// returns json {"name": "......"}
data "external" "exaemple_com" {
  program = ["bash", "${local.bin_dir}/convert-umlauts.sh", "exämple.com"]
}

// access it with 
data.external.exaemple_com.result.name

Hi, we created a new fork of this project as this one is no longer maintained and added a bunch of additional features including a built in function for IDN/Punycode support.
