Overview

A minimal client for some of DynECT's REST API, most notably record CRUD.

Written by Yaniv Aknin, based on work by Zach Goldberg.

Quick Usage

>>> dyn = DynectDNSClient('customer', 'user', 'password', 'default.example.com')
>>> dyn.getRecords('test.default.example.com', recordType='ANY')
[u'/REST/ARecord/default.example.com/test.default.example.com/1234']
>>> dyn.getRecord('test.default.example.com', recordType='A', recordID=1234)
{u'status': u'success', u'data': {u'zone': u'dev.audish.com', u'rdata':
{u'address': u'4.3.2.1'}, u'fqdn': u'testserver.dev.audish.com', u'record_type':
u'A', u'ttl': 60, u'record_id': 16217457}, u'job_id': 25065704, u'msgs':
[{u'INFO': u'get: Found the record', u'LVL': u'INFO', u'ERR_CD': None,
u'SOURCE': u'API-B'}]}
>>> dyn.updateRecord('4.3.2.1', 'test.default.example.com', TTL=120)
>>>

Caveats / TODO

Much more should be done to make this really a full-fledged dynect client. Among others:

• switch to requests
• better response/exception abstraction
• add support for more API features (services, etc)
• refine distinction between broad operations (without recordID) and recordID specific operations
• remove various needless constraints (resetting TTL on every PUT, for example)
