akcli

An Akamai command line client written in Python. So far only the DNS config API is supported since it's the only scratch I need itching. PRs welcome.

What can it do?

Currently, the following items are supported for DNS services at Akami.

• add_record
• fetch_record
• fetch_zone
• list_records
• remove_record

The --json flag will format output as JSON to be consumed by other tools such as jq.

Installation

PyPi

pip install akcli

Manually

git clone https://github.com/iamseth/akcli.git
cd akcli
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

Configuration

By default, akcli looks for a config file at ~/.akamai.cfg. The file should look something like this.

[auth]
baseurl = https://abcd-yaddayadda.luna.akamaiapis.net/
client_token = abcd-yaddayadda
client_secret = randomstuffhere
access_token = abcd-randomstuffhere
