DynectDNS

This is a simple Python wrapper for interacting with the Dynect Managed DNS REST API.

As it makes use of a JSON interface, one must either have the simplejson module installed, or have Python 2.6/2.7 which have a JSON library that comes with the language.

Use is fairly simple:

import sys from dynect.DynectDNS import DynectRest

rest_iface = DynectRest()

Log in

arguments = { 'customer_name': 'my_cust', 'user_name': 'my_user',
'password': 'my_pass', } response = rest_iface.execute('/Session/', 'POST', arguments)

if response['status'] != 'success': sys.exit("Incorrect credentials")

Perform action

response = rest_iface.execute('/Zone/', 'GET') zone_resources = response['data']

Log out, to be polite

rest_iface.execute('/Session/', 'DELETE')
