Why using Lexicon?
==================

Lexicon provides a way to manipulate DNS records on multiple DNS providers in a standardized way.

Lexicon can be used as:

- a CLI tool:

.. code-block:: bash

    # Create a TXT entry in domain.net zone hosted by CloudFlare
    lexicon cloudflare create domain.net TXT --name foo --content bar

- or a Python library:

.. code-block:: python

    # Create a TXT entry in domain.net zone hosted by CloudFlare
    from lexicon.client import Client
    from lexicon.config import ConfigResolver

    config = ConfigResolver().with_env().with_dict({
        "provider_name" : "cloudflare",
        "domain": "domain.net",
    })

    with Client(config) as operations:
        operations.create_record("TXT", "foo", "bar")

Lexicon was designed to be used in automation, specifically letsencrypt.

Supported providers
===================

Only DNS providers who have an API can be supported by `lexicon`.
