dnscli is an app that interacts with DNSimple API from the CLI.
Basic operations such as delete, create or update your DNS entries should be quick. If you
deploy a new server, it should be pretty fast to have DNS resolution,
this is why I came up with dnscli.
To install simply run:
$ go get -u github.com/sgmac/dnscli
The only dependency so far is github.com/codegangsta/cli and github.com/Sirupsen/logrus.
Make sure you have properly set your GO environment before using the command. See the install instructions.
The default path for the configuration is located in $HOME/.dnscli/config.json. The first time you run dnscli it creates an empty configuration,
you need to update the information with your credentials.
{
"ApiURL": "https://api.dnsimple.com/v1/",
"Domain": "example.com",
"Mail": "[email protected]",
"Token": "your_token"
}You can manage your records on a daily basis from the CLI, operations such as list, delete, create, update and get are fully supported. Do not forget to provide your credentials.

TXT .example.com 3600 8549313 v=spf1 includeYou can provide a different domain from the CLI.
$ dnscli -d example2.com records list
Adding a new record is pretty easy. Let's say you want to add demo.example.com, below
is the command. If you do not specify a name (-n), you are adding the .example.
$ dnscli records add -t A -c 192.243.125.30 -n demo
Type Name TTL RecordID Content
A demo.example.com 3600 3122300 192.243.125.30 For operations such as delete, get or update you need to provide the RecordID as an option.
