GoDaddy CLI

As an everyday maintainer of many domains I've found CLIs very useful (e.g AWS). I've created this simple CLI to manage your GoDaddy domains.

Setup

In order to get godaddy-cli to work you need to get your GoDaddy keys and place them in $HOME/.config/godaddy/credentials.json

Installation

$ git clone git@github.com/Cabemo/godaddy-cli
$ cd godaddy-cli
$ make
$ sudo make install

Uninstall

$ sudo make uninstall

Examples

List your domains

$ godaddy domains list
awesomedomain.com
anotherone.org

Availability search

$ godaddy domains search example.com
Domain       Available Price     Period
example.com  true      11.99 USD 1 year(s)

List the DNS records for one of your domains

$ godaddy records list --domain example.com
A    	 600	             @	134.233.0.41
NS   	3600	             @	ns23.domaincontrol.com
NS   	3600	             @	ns24.domaincontrol.com
CNAME	3600	           www	@
CNAME	3600	_domainconnect	_domainconnect.gd.domaincontrol.com

Add DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT)

Type and ttl have default values 'A' and 600 respectively. If you are setting an MX record you must pass the --priority flag too.

$ godaddy records add --domain example.com --type txt --name some --value test --ttl 600
Added: TXT 600 some test

Remove DNS records

In here you only need the domain, type and name

$ godaddy records remove --domain example.com --type txt --name some
