Usage

Start by creating a new instance of the DnsMadeEasy class, and passing your api key and secret.

api = DnsMadeEasy.new('awesome-api-key', 'super-secret-and-awesome-api-secret')

Optionally, you can connect to the sandbox API if you want to play around.

api = DnsMadeEasy.new('awesome-api-key', 'super-secret-and-awesome-api-secret', sandbox=TRUE)

All return values are the direct JSON responses from DNS Made Easy converted into a Hash.

api.domain('hello.example.com')

To create a domain:

api.create_domain('hello.example.com')

# Multiple domains can be created by:

api.create_domains(['hello.example.com', 'sup.example.com'])

To delete a domain:

api.delete_domain('hello.example.com')

Managing Records

To retrieve all records for a given domain name:

api.records_for('hello.example.com')

To find the record id for a given domain, name, and type:

This finds the id of the A record 'woah.hello.example.com'.

api.find_record_id('hello.example.com', 'woah', 'A')

To delete a record by domain name and record id (the record id can be retrieved from find_record_id:

api.delete_record('hello.example.com', 123)

# To delete multiple records:

api.delete_records('hello.example.com', [123, 143])

# To delete all records in the domain:

api.delete_all_records('hello.example.com')

To create a record:

api.create_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', 'A', '127.0.0.1', { 'ttl' => '60' })

api.create_a_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

api.create_aaaa_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

api.create_ptr_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

api.create_txt_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

api.create_cname_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

api.create_ns_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

api.create_spf_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', {})

# Arguments are: domain_name, name, priority, value, options = {}
api.create_mx_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', 5, '127.0.0.1', {})

# Arguments are: domain_name, name, priority, weight, port, value, options = {}

# Arguments are: domain_name, name, value, redirectType, description, keywords, title, options = {}
api.create_httpred_record('hello.example.com', 'woah', '127.0.0.1', 'STANDARD - 302', 'a description', 'keywords', 'a title', {})
