API

Below is a quick overview of the classes and methods that are available in this package.

This package uses mypy to ensure it is strictly typed, and all API modesl are created as TypedDict objects.

Anything that is not exported in the base of the module (in the __init__.py file) are considered internal to this package and will change wihtout any notice, yoo should consider not using anything not found there.

Client

The Client class is your entrypoint to this package, this is what's providing the methods described below.

This method accepts the folowing arguments:

List Zones

The Client.list_zones method can be used to list all zones available with the api_token passed to the Client object.

This method takes no arguments.

...
client = Client(session=session, api_token="abc123")
zones = await client.list_zones()
...

The zones variable in this example will be a list of ZoneModel objects.

List Records

The Client.list_dns_records method can be used to list all records within a zone.

This method accepts the folowing arguments:

...
client = Client(api_token="abc123", client_session=client_session)
records = await client.list_dns_records()
...

The records variable in this example will be a list of RecordModel objects.

Update Record

The Client.update_dns_record method can be used to update a record in a zone.

This method accepts the folowing arguments:

...
client = Client(api_token="abc123", client_session=client_session)
record = await client.update_dns_record(zone_id="abc123", record_id="abc123", record_name="abc", record_content="1.1.1.1", record_type="A")

The record variable in this example will be a RecordModel object representing the updated record.
