Introduction¶
Why using Lexicon?¶
Lexicon provides a way to manipulate DNS records on multiple DNS providers in a standardized way.
Lexicon can be used as:
- a CLI tool:
# Create a TXT entry in domain.net zone hosted by CloudFlare
lexicon cloudflare create domain.net TXT --name foo --content bar
- or a Python library:
# Create a TXT entry in domain.net zone hosted by CloudFlare
from lexicon.client import Client
from lexicon.config import ConfigResolver
action = {
"provider_name" : "cloudflare",
"action": "create",
"domain": "domain.net",
"type": "TXT",
"name": "foo",
"content": "bar",
}
config = ConfigResolver().with_env().with_dict(action)
Client(config).execute()
Lexicon was designed to be used in automation, specifically letsencrypt.
