kasapi.sh

An interface between Bash and the ALL-INKL KAS API

Usage

Usage: kasapi.sh [-h] [command [argument]] [parameter [argument]] [parameter [argument]] ...

Default command: help

Commands:
 --help (-h)                    Show this help text
 --login (-l)                   Login to ALL-INKL and get a session token
 --function (-f)                API Function to call

Parameters:
 --no-session (-n)              Don't use/create session token for API request (default)
 --session (-s)                 Use/create session token, send request and return new token with result (if one got created)
 --token (-t)                   API session token for continuous API requests (implies --session)
 --params (-p)                  JSON formatted function parameters (defaults to "{}")

Setup

Copy config.example to config and enter your KAS Account details. Make sure to set the permissions accordingly!

cp config.example config
chmod 600 config
$EDITOR config

Example commands

Get a list of all domains (no parameters):

kasapi.sh -f "get_domains"

Get a list of all DNS entries of a zone:

kasapi.sh -f "get_dns_settings" -p '{"zone_host":"example.com."}'

(Note the single quotation marks around the JSON object, otherwise all other quotation marks have to be escaped!)

Set a new DNS record:

kasapi.sh -f "add_dns_settings" -p '{"zone_host":"example.com.","record_name":"_acme-challenge","record_type":"TXT","record_data":"'"${ACMEChallengeTokenValue}"'","record_aux":0}'

Error messages

ERROR: <Action> failed, faultstring: <faultstring returned by KAS API>

Some errors might look weird, for example some malformed JSON structures return the faultstring got_no_login_data.

The response

Right now you'll get the unparsed xml back, since xml parsers are not a standard tool on most Linux/Unix installations. For the get_domains request from above the response looks like this (whitespace added):
