Python script for updating DNS records on Active24.cz

With this script you can update A and AAAA records on active24.cz, you need to enter your login and password, name of the domain, name of DNS record and IP address. If IP address is not set, script uses dig to find out what your public IP is and sets that instead. If no TTL is set, this won't change.

You can use this script to dynamically change your IP of your machine using cron.

Updates DNS record on Active24, if IP is not set, sets public IP. Updates
record only if IP and TTL are different than already set.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -l LOGIN, --login LOGIN
                        Active24 login name
  -p PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD
                        Active24 password
  -d DOMAIN, --domain DOMAIN
                        Domain name
  -r [{A,AAAA}], --record [{A,AAAA}]
                        Record type, default=A
  -i [IP], --ip [IP]    IP address
  -n NAME, --name NAME  DNS record name (without domain)
  -t [TTL], --ttl [TTL]
                        TTL in seconds, if empty, uses TTL from DNSrecord
  -a [{UPDATE,CREATE,DELETE}], --action [{UPDATE,CREATE,DELETE}]
                        Action type, default=UPDATE

• LOGIN - your active24 username
• PASSWORD - your active24 password
• DOMAIN - domain name you want to work with, e.g. ra100.net
• A, AAAA - DNS record type you wish to change
• NAME - name of DNS record, e.g. for awesome.ra100.net it will be 'awesome'
• IP - (optional) IP address in format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, if not set, your public IP will be used
• TTL - (optional) TTL value, if not set, value from DNSrecord will be used
• ACTION - (optiona) UPDATE, CREATE or DELETE record

By default works with python3, to run with python2 use:

python2 active24 -h

add this to /etc/crontab or other equivalent file

*/5 * * * * root /path/to/python /path/to/script/active24.py -l USERNAME -p PASSWORD -d example.cz -r A -n sub

This will check every 5 minutes public IP of machine, check it against DNS records and when it's different, it updates that record.
