DNSimple

PreviousDNS Made EasyNextDNS-over-HTTPS

Last updated 5 months ago

Configuration

To use this provider, add an entry to creds.json with TYPE set to DNSIMPLE along with a DNSimple account access token.

You can also set the baseurl to use for testing.

Examples:

creds.json
{
  "dnsimple": {
    "TYPE": "DNSIMPLE",
    "token": "your-dnsimple-account-access-token"
  },
  "dnsimple_sandbox": {
    "TYPE": "DNSIMPLE",
    "baseurl": "https://api.sandbox.dnsimple.com",
    "token": "your-sandbox-account-access-token"
  }
}

Metadata

This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to DNSimple.

Usage

An example configuration:

dnsconfig.js
var REG_DNSIMPLE = NewRegistrar("dnsimple");
var DSP_DNSIMPLE = NewDnsProvider("dnsimple");

D("example.com", REG_DNSIMPLE, DnsProvider(DSP_DNSIMPLE),
    A("test", "1.2.3.4"),
);

Activation

DNSControl depends on a DNSimple account access token.

Caveats

TXT record length

The DNSimple API supports TXT records of up to 1000 "characters" (assumed to be octets, per DNS norms, not Unicode characters in an encoding).

See https://support.dnsimple.com/articles/txt-record/

Development

Debugging

Set DNSIMPLE_DEBUG_HTTP environment variable to 1 to dump all API calls made by this provider.
