Can't seem to connect to dns.godaddy.com

Since 2 days now I get an error when I run pygodaddy without making any changes. I tried with a previous, working installation but even ten I keep getting the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Can't seem to connect to dns.godaddy.com but I don't know if this is a godaddy issue or shoudl I be looking at my installation?

Yes, it also does not work for me but enough. I decided to use godaddypy and man, much better! Full automatic for all of your accounts domins and A records.. And just a few lines. Use that! :)

[Yveske82]

Do I just need to pass api key and api secret in the account file?

_api_key = None
_api_secret = None

[trkadi]

My ipUpdater.py :))

#!/usr/bin/env python3

# Full package imports
import pif, sys

# Partial imports
from godaddypy import Client, Account

userAccount  = Account(api_key='here-comes-you-public-api-key', api_secret='here-comes-you-secret-api-key')
userClient   = Client(userAccount)
publicIP     = pif.get_public_ip('ident.me')

# Updates all domains all records
try:
    updateResult = userClient.update_ip(publicIP)
except:
    print(sys.exc_info()[1])
    sys.exit()

if updateResult is True:
    print('Update ended with no Exception.')

[Yveske82]

If I try run the updater I get a no such file or directory, well kind of.
Normally it should look like:
bash: /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/godaddypy/ipupdater.py : No such file or directory
While now I get just:
: No such file or directory
But maybe I should go start an issue at godaddypy page?

[trkadi]

Can you copy your script? (with removed api keys naturally)

[Yveske82]

Actually just copied yours. I do have python 2.7 instead of 3

#!/usr/bin/env python

# Full package imports
import pif, sys

# Partial imports
from godaddypy import Client, Account

userAccount  = Account(api_key='****', api_secret='****')
userClient   = Client(userAccount)
publicIP     = pif.get_public_ip('ident.me')

# Updates all domains all records
try:
    updateResult = userClient.update_ip(publicIP)
except:
    print(sys.exc_info()[1])
    sys.exit()

if updateResult is True:
    print('Update ended with no Exception.')

Never mind, got it to work, I don't really know python. Had to add python in front of my script. It seems to work great now. You sir are a life safer. Thank you so much.
It's just the same I guess as pygodaddy, just add it to a cron every 5 minutes?

PS. I know my api was visible for a minute. Already changed and deleted :)

[trkadi]

Yep. :) It's faster than pygodaddy cause of API - BUT nobody should misunderstand me, pygodadd was cool and the only tool for a while.. - Welcome. ^-^

[Yveske82]

Not saying anything bad about pygodaddy. It worked great for me until 2 days ago.
Anyway, I'm happy I got it able to change it again pygodaddy or godaddypy. Kinda bought a domain for € 0.99 impulsive and then realized I couldn't update my ip but that's fixed.
Anyway thanks a lot for your help.

[Yveske82]

Did you ever have the problem that your A-Record get's deleted? It happens to me once a day with this error:

Response Data: {u'message': u'One or more of the given records is invalid', u'code':
u'INVALID_RECORDS', u'errors': [u'ARECORD @ None is not a valid IP address'], u'name':
u'_Class'}

It happens to me like once a day.

[trkadi]

Hmm, quite interesting.. Also happened with me. They made a change as the lilac stuff write.. but it would be ridiculous if records got deleted cause of that...

[Yveske82]

Well if it happened to you as well at least I'm not alone with the issue.
I made an issue at the godaddypy page so hopefully this can get resolved soon. Right now when I can't reach my web address anymore I know I have to login my godaddy account and create a new A-record. So I guess this is how it will be done for now.

[trkadi]

just create an '@' record (and if you have more subdomains then also create the subdomains record.. with 0.0.0.0 and run the updater. That will solve it but yeah, migrate ourselves to godaddypy 💨 :D

[Yveske82]

:D
For now it will do yes but hopefully there be a fix soon. Or a way to auto create a new record

[Yveske82]

Take a look here Got an answer on my issue already. Just adding a piece of code to your script. Testing it now.
