This python script 'loopiaupdate' retrieves the ip and updates a given domain or subdomain using the Loopia domain api interface.

This script have some nice features e.g. it will add subdomain if it does not exist.

Create a LoopiaAPI account with following permissions:

• addSubdomain
• updateZoneRecord
• addZoneRecord
• getSubdomains
• getZoneRecords

Now you got two options... Either you create a credential file with your authentication information OR append username and password in the command. (this is NOT recommended if you are using a shared computer)

Create ~/.loopiaupdate/credentials in $HOME with following content:

username=user@loopiaapi
password=pw

...where 'user' is, of course, the loopiaapi username you created at loopia.

To set a domain e.g. bork.olof.dev to the current public IP you can write

$ python3 loopiaupdate.py --credential "user@loopiaapi:MY_SUPER_SECRET_PASSWORD" bork.olof.dev
85.230.xxx.xxx
Response:OK,

.

Or, if you have a preferred ip-address you can use the --ip flag. Like this below

$ python3 loopiaupdate.py --credential "user@loopiaapi:MY_SUPER_SECRET_PASSWORD" --ip 1.2.3.4 bork.olof.dev
85.230.xxx.xxx
Response:OK,

The commands for creating a new subdomain are the same as above. The response is different though

python3 loopiaupdate.py --credential "user@loopiaapi:MY_SUPER_SECRET_PASSWORD" --ip 1.2.3.4 bork.xkz.se

Response:OK, OK,

since you have now two OK instead of just one. Which is because you are doing two operations: creating the subdomain and setting the domain into that ip-address.
