Updates the Dynamic DNS (DDNS) record for a given subdomain and domain using the Dynu API
Update the Dynamic DNS (DDNS) record for a given subdomain and domain using the Dynu API ( https://www.dynu.com/ ).
This function sends a request to the Dynu API to update the IP (v4 only!!) address associated with
the specified subdomain and domain using the provided credentials. It can be used as a
one-time call or as a background thread that periodically updates the IP address.
Args:
apikey (str): The API key for authentication with the Dynu API.
subdomain (str): The subdomain to update (e.g., 'bububaba' in 'bububaba.ddnsfree.com').
domain (str): The domain to update (e.g., 'ddnsfree.com').
password (str): The password for authentication with Dynu, used to generate a password hash.
as_thread (bool, optional): If True, run the update as a background thread. Default is True.
frequency (int, optional): The frequency (in seconds) at which to update the IP address.
Ignored if as_thread is False. Default is 30 seconds.
print_update (bool, optional): If True, print updates when the IP address is changed.
Ignored if as_thread is False. Default is True.
Returns:
If as_thread is True, returns a thread object representing the background update task.
If as_thread is False, returns the current IP address for the specified subdomain and domain.
Example:
subdomain = r"bababu"
domain = "ddnsfree.com"
apikey = "xxxxxx"
sleep_ip_update = 30
dyn_password = r"xxxxx"
# one time call
updatedip = update_dynamic_dns(
apikey=apikey,
subdomain=second_level_domain,
domain=top_level_domain,
password=dyn_password,
as_thread=False,
frequency=30,
print_update=True,
)
print(updatedip)
# as thread
update_dynamic_dns(
apikey=apikey,
subdomain=second_level_domain,
domain=top_level_domain,
password=dyn_password,
as_thread=True,
frequency=30,
print_update=True,
)
print(
ipconfig.allipscans[f"{second_level_domain}.{top_level_domain}"]
) # ips are stored here when you use as_thread=True
