cloudns 1.2.0.2

Installation

To install cloudns, simply:

$ pip install cloudns

Quick Start

This client supports all functions defined in the API. To use those functions, first create a User object, then call methods on it.

>>> import cloudns
>>> u = cloudns.User('dw_foo', '8AFBE6DEA02407989AF4DD4C97BB6E25')
>>> u.get_all_zones()
...
>>> u.get_all_records('yyclouds.com')
...

Since most api function requires a zone to work on, you can create a zone from a User and call methods on zone. Zone contains the most frequently used functions from the API.

>>> z = u.zone('yyclouds.com')
>>> z.create_record('test-foo', '8.8.8.8', 'tel')
>>> z.get_records_by_name('test-foo')
...
>>> z.delete_records_by_name('test-foo')
...

This client does very strict error checking. Everything from HTTP error to bad response from cloudns server will raise an exception. All exceptions raised by cloudns will be a subclass of CloudnsError.

>>> r = z.create_record('test-foo', '8.8.8.8', 'uni'); z.delete_record_by_id(r.rid)
... # Will raise exception. Pending record can not be deleted.
