This gem allows easy access to the DNSApp.net API.

You will need a DNSApp.net account.

• www.dnsapp.net

• www.dnsapp.net/api

[sudo] gem install httparty
[sudo] gem install dnsapp

sudo is optional depending on your setup.

In your Ruby script you can now.

require 'rubygems'
require 'dnsapp'

DNSApp::Credentials.username = 'mmr@dnsapp.net'
DNSApp::Credentials.password = 'p@ssw0rd'
DNSApp::Domain.all
=> [#<DNSApp::Domain:0x101be6070 @auth_id=nil, @name="dnsapp.net", @handle=nil, @user_id=1, @created_at=Mon Nov 15 12:23:55 UTC 2010, @locked=nil, @authoritative=false, @id=16, @status="done", @updated_at=Fri Nov 19 11:30:00 UTC 2010>]

require 'rubygems'
require 'dnsapp'

DNSApp::Credentials.username = 'mmr@dnsapp.net'
DNSApp::Credentials.password = 'p@ssw0rd'

DNSApp::Domain.all.each do |domain|
  records = domain.records.all.length
  puts "#{domain.name} has #{records} records."
end

new_domain = DNSApp::Domain.create("example.org")
new_domain.records.create :name => '%d', :content => '1.2.3.4', :type => 'A', :ttl => 3600
new_domain.records.create :name => '%d', :content => 'mailserver.somewhere.com', :type => 'MX', :ttl => 3600, :prio => "10"

new_domain.records.all.last.destroy

another_domain = DNSApp::Domain.find("another-domain.com") # could also specify numeric ID
another_domain.records.find(240).destroy # 240 is the numeric ID for the record

third_domain = DNSApp::Domain.find(42)
third_domain.delete

In order to run the test suite you have to have a DNSApp.net account (a trial account is not sufficient).

You must create the file spec/credentials.yml.

spec/credentials.yml

username: <your username>
password: <your password>

The specs all depend on an active internet connection and access to dnsapp.net.

On Debian/Ubuntu systems httparty sometimes gives a:

no such file to load net/https

To solve this

apt-get install libopenssl-ruby
