REPL

$ ns1 will start the REPL

Installation

From PyPI:

$ pip install ns1cli

To enable autocomplete from the command-line:

$ eval "$(_NS1_COMPLETE=source ns1)"

Local Development:

$ cd <ns1cli directory>
$ pip install --editable .

Configuration

ns1cli uses the NS1 python client to communicate with the NS1 API.

  • ns1cli will by default attempt to load a configuration file from $HOME/.ns1/config
  • The configuration object used comes from the underlying NS1 python client
  • A history file for the REPL is saved at $HOME/.ns1/ns1_history

TODO:

  • REPL:

    • Autocomplete commands
    • cmd <subcmd> help is missing the command/subcommands in the help output.
  • Search:

    • Autocomplete ZONE/DOMAIN/TYPE arguments.
  • Zone:

    • Create secondary zones
    • Create zone from importing zonefile
    • Missing create zone attributes:
      • networks
      • secondary attrs(primary ip, primary_port)
    • Both answer and region meta subcommands are inconsistent:
      • ns1 record answer meta-set and ns1 record answer meta-remove

      • ns1 record region meta-set and ns1 record region meta-remove

      • The meta subcommands will be fixed when Click 7.0 is released:

        • ns1 record answer meta set and ns1 record answer meta remove
        • ns1 record region meta set and ns1 record region meta remove
  • Record:

    • Update/Set record level attributes(TTL, RETRY, etc)

    • Answers

      • implement ns1 record answer remove
  • Data:

    • Add ns1 data feed publish command
