The Omni REST API Client

This is still WIP, but I've got prototype working which is for the update DNS function using CloudFlare API.

The project is written in Python 3. You can install dependencies with

pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt

Walk-through

REST API schema

The schema is defined in schemas/cloudflare.yaml

---
Name: cloudflare
Base:
  Protocol: https
  Host: api.cloudflare.com
Headers:
  X-Auth-Key: ${auth_key}
  X-Auth-Email: ${auth_email}
  Content-Type: application/json

Actions:
  update_dns:
    Path:
      - /client/v4/zones/
      - ${zone_id}
      - /dns_records/
      - ${dns_id}
    Method: PUT
    Payload:
      type: ${dns_type}
      name: ${dns_name}
      content: ${dns_content}
      ttl: 1
      proxied: true

This will be verified against schemas/schema.yaml using pykwalify.

Global parameters

Global parameters for the API, usually API key and account stuff, are in schemas/cloudflare-params.yaml.example. You should duplicate it and remove the .example suffix and put in real credential.

auth_key: sample-api-key
auth_email: raynix@some.email

Invoking an Action in the schema

To invoke the update_dns action defined in the schema, run:

./lapi --schema schemas/cloudflare --func update_dns --vars zone_id=xxx,dns_id=xxx,dns_type=A,dns_name=mydomain.com,dns_content=1.2.3.4
