Problem

The Fastly API doesn't provide an endpoint to fetch all the domains associated with an account. It only provides an endpoint which lists all the domains for a particular service and version and another one which lists all the domains for the active version of a service.

Solution

The solution is to perform a request to GET /service first in order to fetch all services of a Fastly account before you send a request for each service to GET /service/service_id/version/version/domain in order to fetch all of the domains of a service.

That's exactly what the fastly-domains library does. Let's say you have 10 services then it needs to perform eleven requests (1 + 10) to the Fastly API in order to fetch all domains associated with an account.

The library doesn't provide an option to specify a particular version of a service since it fetches the domains of all serivces. Instead it uses the active version for each request to GET /service/service_id/version/version/domain.

Security

You'll need a Fastly API Token in order to use the fastly-domains library. Your token must have at least global:read access.
