DNSimple Python Client
A Python client for the DNSimple API v2.
Documentation
- dnsimple-ruby PyPi
- DNSimple API documentation
- DNSimple API examples repository
- DNSimple support documentation
Requirements
- Python 3.6+ (PyPy supported) - Note later versions of Python may be supported, but we make no guarantees as they are not tracked in our CI.
Installation
Where <version> denotes the version of the client you want to install.
To install the latest version:
pip install dnsimpleTo install a specific version:
pip install dnsimple==2.0.1
Usage
This library is a Python client you can use to interact with the DNSimple API v2. Here are some examples.
from dnsimple import Client
client = Client(access_token='a1b2c3')
# Fetch your details
response = client.identity.whoami() # execute the call
data = response.data # extract the relevant data from the response or
account = client.identity.whoami().data.account # execute the call and get the data in one lineSandbox Environment
We highly recommend testing against our sandbox environment before using our production environment. This will allow you to avoid real purchases, live charges on your credit card, and reduce the chance of your running up against rate limits.
The client supports both the production and sandbox environment. To switch to sandbox pass the sandbox API host using
the base_url option when you construct the client:
from dnsimple import Client
client = Client(base_url='https://api.sandbox.dnsimple.com', access_token="a1b2c3")You can also set the sandbox environment like so:
from dnsimple import Client
client = Client(sandbox=True, access_token='a1b2c3')You will need to ensure that you are using an access token created in the sandbox environment. Production tokens will not work in the sandbox environment.
Define an account ID
from dnsimple import Client
client = Client(access_token='a1b2c3')
account_id = 1010
# You can also fetch it from the whoami response
# as long as you authenticate with an Account access token
whoami = client.identity.whoami().data
account_id = whoami.account.idList your domains
from dnsimple import Client
client = Client(access_token='a1b2c3')
account_id = client.identity.whoami().data.account.id
domains = client.domains.list_domains(account_id).data # Domains from the 1010 account (first page)
client.domains.list_domains(account_id, sort='expires_on:asc').data # Domains from the 1010 account in ascending order by domain expiration date
client.domains.list_domains(account_id, filter={'name_like': 'example'}).data # Domains from the 1010 account filtered by the domain name nameCreate a domain
from dnsimple import Client
client = Client(access_token='a1b2c3')
account_id = client.identity.whoami().data.account.id
response = client.domains.create_domain(account_id, 'example.com')
domain = response.data # The newly created domainGet a domain
from dnsimple import Client
client = Client(access_token='a1b2c3')
account_id = client.identity.whoami().data.account.id
domain_id = client.domains.list_domains(account_id).data[0].id
domain = client.domains.get_domain(account_id, domain_id).data # The domain you are looking forSetting a custom User-Agent header
You customize the User-Agent header for the calls made to the DNSimple API:
from dnsimple import Client
client = Client(user_agent="my-app")The value you provide will be appended to the default User-Agent the client uses.
For example, if you use my-app, the final header value will be my-app dnsimple-python/0.1.0 (note that it will vary depending on the client version).
