删除记录 Libcloud (GoDaddy api)

Question

我尝试为 Record delate-record实现 delete 方法，但这是我第一次使用 python 和这个 api。

Answer 1

The GoDaddy API doesn't have a delete record method, so this functionality is not exposed in the driver. https://developer.godaddy.com/doc#!/_v1_domains/recordReplace

The driver could offer the 'replace records in zone' method, which would allow you to fetch the current list of records, and then set the new list minus the record you want to remove. But that feature is not implemented and quite risky.

Answer 2

First, Send a GET request to https://api.godaddy.com/v1/domains/{DOMAIN}/records

Then, Enumerate over all records of API Response (JSON Array) and prepare new data by removing the one that needs to be deleted.

API Response (SAMPLE)

[
    {
        "data": "192.168.1.1",
        "name": "@",
        "ttl": 600,
        "type": "A"
    },
    {
        "data": "ns1.example.com",
        "name": "@",
        "ttl": 3600,
        "type": "NS"
    },
    {
        "data": "@",
        "name": "www",
        "ttl": 3600,
        "type": "CNAME"
    },
    {
        "data": "mail.example.com",
        "name": "@",
        "ttl": 3600,
        "priority": 1,
        "type": "MX"
    }
]

New Data (After deleting record) (SAMPLE)

[
    {
        "data": "192.168.1.1",
        "name": "@",
        "ttl": 600,
        "type": "A"
    },
    {
        "data": "ns1.example.com",
        "name": "@",
        "ttl": 3600,
        "type": "NS"
    },
    {
        "data": "@",
        "name": "www",
        "ttl": 3600,
        "type": "CNAME"
    }
]

Now, Send a PUT request to https://api.godaddy.com/v1/domains/{DOMAIN}/records with new data.

The most important thing is how you identify the records in above array which needs to be deleted. This would not be a difficult task, assuming you have good programming skills.

Answer 3

I managed to worked around it in kind of a hacky - we had bunch of records we wanted to delete, doing it manually seemed weird so I added a Javascript into the Chrome Developer Console, running on an authenticated session from the DNS manage page:

function deleteGoDaddyRecords(recordId) {
        $.ajax({
        url: 'https://dcc.godaddy.com/api/v3/domains/<YOUR-DOMAIN.com>/records?recordId='+recordId,
        type: 'DELETE',
        success: function(result) {
            console.log(result)
        }
    });
}

which let me use the same call the UI is calling when you ask to delete a record.

the only thing you need to provide is the AttributeUid which is not available with the public API, but it is in the front-end API:

https://dcc.godaddy.com/api/v2/domains/runahr.com/records

So I managed to create a script that will generate bunch of

deleteGoDaddyRecords('<RECORD-UUID>');
deleteGoDaddyRecords('<RECORD-UUID>');

copy & paste the generated script into the Developers Console and that solved it for now.

I hope GoDaddy will add a public DELETE endpoint to their API in the future :)
