Porkbun API

This is an API wrapper for Porkbun written in Python with few extra features/shortcuts.

Porkbun API documentation

This project is subject to breaking changes as Porkbun API may change and/or become invalid. I do not guarantee anything.

Installing

You can install this through PyPi with pip: pip install porkbun-api

Or you can grab a .whl or .tar.gz file from Github releases.

Usage

This wrapper supports everything other than operations with ID's for now.

Available functions and arguments: Please keep in mind every function requires an apikey and secretapikey arguments, but you can set APIKEY and SECRETAPIKEY variables in the code or PORKBUN_APIKEY and PORKBUN_SECRETAPIKEY environment variables with their respective values and not have to give keys as arguments at every function call.

Key precedence is environment variable > code variable > function argument. Please note at the moment you can not mix and match different ways of providing your keys

• ping()
  • Optional: ipv4only (takes True or False and returns IPv4 only if True and IPv6 if available otherwise. Default = True).
  • Returns IP address.
• nsupdate()
  • Requires domain (takes a string of the domain you want to work on) and nslist (a list containing nameservers).
  • Does not return anything, changes the authoritative nameservers for given domain.
• create()
  • Requires domain, rtype (string of the record type such as A, AAAA, MX, etc), and content (string value for said request type such as the IP address).
  • Optional: subdomain (string subdomain for said domain) and ttl (integer number for time to live, default and minimum for Porkbun is 600). prio (integer priority for record types that support it)
  • Does not return anything. Creates a new DNS record with given arguments.
• read()
  • Requires domain, rtype.
  • Optional: subdomain.
  • Returns a list of records.
• update()
  • Requires domain, rtype, and content.
  • Optional: name ttl, and prio.
  • Does not return anything. Updates the matching record with given content
• delete()
  • Requires domain and rtype.
  • Optional subdomain.
  • Does not return anything. Deletes the matching record.
• ddns_update()
  • Requires domain.
  • Optional: ip (the string IP address to update the record with. If not given, uses the return of ping() as IP), subdomain, and ipv4only.
  • Does not return anything. Updates the domain or subdomain's A or AAAA record depending on the IP type given.

Examples

import porkbun_api as pb
from time import sleep # only as an example, not required.

pb.APIKEY = "pk1_..." # or the env var PORKBUN_APIKEY="pk1_..."
pb.SECRETAPIKEY = "sk1_..." # or the env var PORKBUN_SECRETAPIKEY="sk1_..."

print(pb.ping())

pb.create(domain = "m3r.one", rtype = "A", content = "23.94.123.251")

pb.delete(domain = "m3r.one", rtype = "A", subdomain = "bin", apikey = "pk1_overwrite-the-variable", secretapikey = "sk1_overwrite-the-variable")

while True:
  pb.ddns_update(domain = "m3r.one")
  sleep(86400)

Notes

It is recommended to use try - except blocks with every function because it raises a PorkbunError exception if Porkbun returns an error for whatever reason. Plus, requests library will raise exceptions itself if something goes wrong with the request.

Feel free to open issues or contact me in case you wish to see extra features added.
