dynect4r

dynect4r is a Ruby library and command line client for the Dynect REST API (version 2).

Installation

gem install dynect4r

Using this library in your own project

require 'dynect4r'
client = Dynect::Client.new(:customer_name => 'example',
                            :user_name => 'example',
                            :password => 'example')
response = client.rest_call(:get, 'Zone/example.org')
pp response

Using the built-in command line client

  1. Create a file called dynect4r.secret containing your Dynect customer name, username and password (i.e. on one line separated by whitespace). Note that this file is assumed to be in the current directory by default.

  2. See examples below:

General usage

dynect4r-client [options] [rdata][, ...]

  • Multiple sets of rdata can be specified by separating them with commas.

  • Records can be deleted by not specifying rdata.
