How do I read this syntax from the documentation of the API ?

Hi, I want to be able to find a DNS record that contains a particular substring, in Python. I created an A record with the name test. The documentation for the REST API provided a way to find a DNS record with a substring : https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/python/resources/dns/subresources/records/methods/list/ 
name: Optional[Name]
  contains: Optional[str]
  Substring of the DNS record name. Name filters are case-insensitive.

  endswith: Optional[str]
  Suffix of the DNS record name. Name filters are case-insensitive.

  exact: Optional[str]
  Exact value of the DNS record name. Name filters are case-insensitive.

  startswith: Optional[str]
  Prefix of the DNS record name. Name filters are case-insensitive.
name: Optional[Name]
  contains: Optional[str]
  Substring of the DNS record name. Name filters are case-insensitive.

  endswith: Optional[str]
  Suffix of the DNS record name. Name filters are case-insensitive.

  exact: Optional[str]
  Exact value of the DNS record name. Name filters are case-insensitive.

  startswith: Optional[str]
  Prefix of the DNS record name. Name filters are case-insensitive.
I don't know how to read this, I don't understand. Is name an array ? How can I use the contains 'feature' ?

Just a random guess but I assume those to be properties of a Name class
