How to use lexicon DNS API

lexicon is a python tool for a number of dns providers.

As I'm writing this doc, it supports the following dns api: The current supported providers are:

• Cloudflare
• DigitalOcean
• DNSimple
• DnsMadeEasy
• DNSPark
• EasyDNS
• Namesilo
• NS1
• PointHQ
• Rage4
• Vultr

You can check its project page: https://github.com/AnalogJ/lexicon

You must install python and lexicon before using it.

Examples:

1. Using lexicon cloudflare api:

export PROVIDER=cloudflare
export LEXICON_CLOUDFLARE_USERNAME="[email protected]"
export LEXICON_CLOUDFLARE_TOKEN="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

acme.sh --issue  -d test.acme.sh  --dns  dns_lexicon

2. Using lexicon namesilo api:

Namesilo applies any submitted changes to DNS records every 15 minutes. To make sure verification aligns with propagation, --dnssleep must be set for 16 minutes (960 seconds). You may generate a new API key (namesilo-api-token) at the api manager under Account Options after logging in.

export PROVIDER=namesilo
export LEXICON_NAMESILO_TOKEN="namesilo-api-token"

acme.sh --issue  -d test.acme.sh  --dns dns_lexicon  --dnssleep 960
