UNMAINTAINED ncdapi (inofficial netcup DNS API Client)

This script is currently unmaintained. Due to the fact that changes need at least 10 minutes to be applied and the api still does not support setting a ttl per record.

[!IMPORTANT] This repo was archived, because the client uses an old API. The entire DNS infrastructure and API could hopefully be replaced by an excellent one in 2024.

WARNING

This client is well tested, but it is possible that some actions provoke a bug, so the use of this client is on your own risk and may result in lost of your zone data.

Requirements

• jq (a json parser)
• curl

Credentials

To use this script you must replace the values at beginning of the script with your:

#Credentials
apikey=YOUR_API_KEY
apipw=YOUR_API_PASSWORD
cid=YOUR_CUSTOMERNUMBER

How to use

-M   MOD Record         ncdapi.sh -M ID HOST DOMAIN RECORDTYPE DESTINATION [PRIORITY]
-D   DEL Record         ncdapi.sh -D ID HOST DOMAIN RECORDTYPE DESTINATION [PRIORITY]
-g   get all Records	ncdapi.sh -g DOMAIN
-b   backup from Zone	ncdapi.sh -b DOMAIN
-R   Restore Zone	ncdapi.sh -R FILE
-s   get SOA    	ncdapi.sh -s DOMAIN
-S   change SOA    	ncdapi.sh -S DOMAIN TTL REFRESH RETRY EXPIRE DNSSECSTATUS

Functions

• add new record
• modify record/SOA
• delete record
• get all records/domains
• backup/restore of zone + SOA
• If the api returns a failure the session will automatically make invalid and the plain JSON from the api will be written to stdout

TODO

• DynDNS capability if the api get the possibility for per record TTL in near future
• ...

How to obtain the DNS entry ID?

First, login to the netcup website. Navigate to "Domains" -> choose your domain -> "DNS" section:

Then click with the right mouse button on the desired DNS entry from which the ID should come from. Choose the "inspect element" menue entry.

Now you should see the developer tools and a <input>-element. The number in the name-attribute's value after record[ is the wanted number.

Copy this ID (here: 12176576) into your script.
