GoDaddyPy

Python library useful for updating DNS settings through the GoDaddy v1 API.

• PyPI:
• Source:
• Migrated from:
• Concept originated from observerss' pygodaddy @ .

Setup

First, go to and request a production API key and secret.

Note: Sometimes the production API keys don't seem to work correctly. Just delete it and request another one.

Second, install GoDaddyPy with pip.

$ pip install godaddypy

GoDaddyPy supports three methods for providing your credentials to the library, which are honored in the following order:

1. Passing them directly to the Account object
2. Setting the GODADDY_API_KEY and GODADDY_API_SECRET environment variables
3. Storing them in a credentials.yml file

For convenience, a configuration tool has been provided that can be run from your terminal or in Python. This tool will prompt for your API key and secret, and store them in a config file in your home directory following the XDG Base Directory specification. I have only tested this on Mac, but it should also work on Linux. I recommend env vars for Windows and/or CI/CD.

$ python -m godaddypy

>>> from godaddypy import Account
>>> acct = Account.configure()
Enter GoDaddy API Key [None]: example_key
Enter GoDaddy API Secret [None]: example_secret
>>> account = Account()
>>> account._config
Configuration(key='example_key', secret='example_secret')

Examples

Also see /examples for more examples.

>>> from godaddypy import Client, Account
>>>
>>> my_acct = Account(api_key='PUBLIC_KEY', api_secret='SECRET_KEY')
>>> client = Client(my_acct)
>>>
>>> # Or if you want to use a delegate...
>>> delegate_acct = Account(api_key='PUBLIC_KEY', api_secret='SECRET_KEY', delegate='DELEGATE_ID')
>>> delegate_client = Client(delegate_acct)
>>>
>>> client.get_domains()
['domain1.example', 'domain2.example']
>>>
>>> client.get_records('domain1.example', record_type='A')
[{'name': 'dynamic', 'ttl': 3600, 'data': '1.1.1.1', 'type': 'A'}]
>>>
>>> client.update_ip('2.2.2.2', domains=['domain1.example'])
True
>>>
>>> client.get_records('domain1.example')
[{'name': 'dynamic', 'ttl': 3600, 'data': '2.2.2.2', 'type': 'A'}, {'name': 'dynamic', 'ttl': 3600, 'data': '::1',
'type': 'AAAA'},]
>>>
>>> client.get_records('apple.com', record_type='A', name='@')
[{u'data': u'1.2.3.4', u'type': u'A', u'name': u'@', u'ttl': 3600}]
>>>
>>> client.update_record_ip('3.3.3.3', 'domain1.example', 'dynamic', 'A')
True
>>>
>>> client.add_record('apple.com', {'data':'1.2.3.4','name':'test','ttl':3600, 'type':'A'})
True
>>>
>>> client.delete_records('apple.com', name='test')
True
