# DNS Made Easy

### Configuration

To use this provider, add an entry to `creds.json` with `TYPE` set to `DNSMADEEASY` along with your `api_key` and `secret_key`. More info about authentication can be found in [DNS Made Easy API docs](https://api-docs.dnsmadeeasy.com/).

{% code title="creds.json" %}

```json
{
  "dnsmadeeasy": {
    "TYPE": "DNSMADEEASY",
    "api_key": "1c1a3c91-4770-4ce7-96f4-54c0eb0e457a",
    "secret_key": "e2268cde-2ccd-4668-a518-8aa8757a65a0"
  }
}
```

{% endcode %}

### Usage

An example configuration:

{% code title="dnsconfig.js" %}

```javascript
var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar("none");
var DSP_DNSMADEEASY = NewDnsProvider("dnsmadeeasy");

D("example.com", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(DSP_DNSMADEEASY),
    A("test", "1.2.3.4"),
);
```

{% endcode %}

### Development

#### Debugging

Set `DNSMADEEASY_DEBUG_HTTP` environment variable to dump all API calls made by this provider.
