ClouDNS-Go

This is an API-Client for the ClouDNS HTTP API written in Go

Noob code warning

Currently this software is written by an absolute noob in go. Therefore, I am very happy about any pointers toward making the code simpler, faster or more lightweight.

Use at your own risk!

Usage

Structs

There are three structs that you need to know:

• Apiaccess: Holds your authentication parameters (auth-id/sub-auth-id, auth-password)

// Apiaccess ClouDNS API Credentials, see https://www.cloudns.net/wiki/article/42/
type Apiaccess struct {
	Authid       int    `json:"auth-id,omitempty"`
	Subauthid    int    `json:"sub-auth-id,omitempty"`
	Authpassword string `json:"auth-password"`
}

• Zone: Holds information about a zone

// Zone is the external representation of a zone
// check the ...zone types in api.go for details
type Zone struct {
	Domain string   `json:"domain-name"`
	Ztype  string   `json:"zone-type"`
	Ns     []string `json:"ns,omitempty"`
}

• Record: Holds information about a record

// Record is the external representation of a record
// check the ...record types in api.go for details
type Record struct {
   ID     string `json:"id"`
   Domain string `json:"domain-name"`
   Host   string `json:"host"`
   Rtype  string `json:"record-type"`
   TTL    int    `json:"ttl"`
   Record string `json:"record"`
}

Examples for the structs

a := cloudns.Apiaccess{
    Authid:       1234,
    Authpassword: "super-secret-password",
}

z := cloudns.Zone{
    Domain: "testdomain.xxx",
    Ztype:  "master",
}

r := cloudns.Record{
    Domain: "testdomain.xxx",
    ID:     "",
    Host:   "foo",
    Rtype:  "TXT",
    Record: "bar",
    TTL:    3600,
}

Methods

These structs have methods, that call the API, most of them return either an Array of the other ones or the updated input struct and an error.

Apiaccess Methods

Listzones(): lists all zones (up to 100)

zonelist, zonelisterr := a.Listzones()
if zonelisterr == nil {
    spew.Println(zonelist)
} else {
    spew.Println(zonelisterr)
}

Zone Methods

List(*auth): lists all records from a zone

fmt.Println("reading zone")
zr, zrerr := z.Read(&a)
if zrerr == nil {
    spew.Println(zr)
} else {
    spew.Println(zrerr)
}

Create(*auth): create a zone

fmt.Println("create zone testdomain.xxx")
zc, zcerr := z.Create(&a)
if zcerr == nil {
    spew.Println(zc)
z = zc
} else {
    spew.Println(zcerr)
}

Destroy(*auth): destroy a zone

fmt.Println("destroying zone testdomain.xxx ...")
zd, zderr := z.Destroy(&a)
if zderr == nil {
    spew.Println(zd)
} else {
    spew.Println(zderr)
}

Record Methods

Create(*auth): Create a record

fmt.Println("creating record foo TXT bar 3600")
rc, rcerr := r.Create(&a)
if rcerr == nil {
    spew.Println(rc)
} else {
    spew.Println(rcerr)
}

Update(*auth): Update a record

rc.Record = "foobar"
fmt.Println("Updating record to foo TXT foobar 3600")
ru, ruerr := rc.Update(&a)
if ruerr == nil {
    spew.Println(ru)
} else {
    spew.Println(ruerr)
}

Read(*auth): Read a record

fmt.Println("Reading Record back")
rr, rrerr := ru.Read(&a)
if rrerr == nil {
    spew.Println(rr)
} else {
    spew.Println(rrerr)
}

Destroy(*auth): Destroy a record

fmt.Println("Destroying record")
rd, rderr := rr.Destroy(&a)
if rderr == nil {
    spew.Println(rd)
} else {
    spew.Println(rderr)
}

I did not yet touched any of the advanced features, that ClouDNS offers. For details please check the limitations
