Python-Cotendo

Kudos to RockYou for allowing me to open source this.

References the Cotendo API.

Overview

from cotendo import CotendoHelper

username = 'bob'
password = 'passlolz'

c = CotendoHelper(username, password)

# Grab the production mysite.com config
c.dns.GrabDNS('mysite.com', 1)

# print a sorted pretty printed config
print c.ExportDNS()

Updates and modifications

You could always create your own xml parts and import them yourself, but there's a helper function provided to make that a little easier.

# Creating a record
results = [{'ip': '10.1.2.3', 'ttl': 1800},
    {'ip': '10.1.2.4', 'ttl': 1800}]
record = c.dns.CreateRecord('a', 'myserver', results)

# Add/Update a record to the configuration
c.dns.add_record(record)

# Delete a record from the configuration
c.dns.del_record('a', 'myserver')

# Import a config into the cotendo helper
c.dns.ImportDNS(config, token)

# Update/Upload the dns config to cotendo, reads c.dns.config
c.dns.UpdateDNS('mysite.com', 1)

# Publish the configuration
c.dns_publish_conf('mysite.com')

# print a un-xml'd version of the config
c.dns.show()

Lighter API

from cotendo import Cotendo

# Note: you can pass true as a third parameter to enable debug
c = Cotendo(username, password)

# get the staging domain conf and token
token, config = c.dns_get_conf('mysite.com', 0)

# publish the config to production
c.dns_set_conf('mysite.com', config, 1, token)

# publish it!
c.dns_publish_conf('mysite.com')
