View operations on managed zones
Cloud DNS records managed zone updates that you make (modifying descriptions
or configuring DNSSEC state) as operations. Managed zone creation and
deletion are not recorded; deletion of a managed zone also deletes recorded
operations on the zone.
These operations are independent of
changes that you make to the resources
within the managed zone. You can use the Google Cloud CLI or the REST API to see
the history of these updates.

This command prints the JSON formatted resource record sets for
the first 100 records. You can specify an additional parameter:
--limit: maximum number of operations to list
Python
from apiclient import errors
from apiclient.discovery import build
PROJECT_NAME='PROJECT_NAME'
ZONE_NAME='ZONE_NAME'
try:
service = build('dns', 'v1')
response = service.operations().list(project=PROJECT_NAME,
managedZone=ZONE_NAME).execute()
print(response)
except errors.HttpError, error:
print('An error occurred: %s' % error)
