Setting Up Dynamic DNS For Your Domain

hi again.

sorry, zoneedit does not offer an API at present.

regards.

I see the existing third party clients call an API to update the dns, one uses api.cp.zoneedit.com, another one uses dynamic.zoneedit.com. There are various parameters such as hostname and ip address. I am looking for documentation on these APIs

I can reverse engineer what the other clients do, but I would much rather use the actual API documentation

Hi, I'm having a problem setting up dynamic dns using ddclient on Linux.
It always says I'm hitting the zoneedit endpoint too often, even if I wait an hour.

Is the 10minute wait interval just for that specific hostname or does it apply for ANY DDNS request on a host in the domain?

Thanks

Partial debug...

the 10 minute Too Soon applies to all dynamic updates on the zone.,, not per ddns record.

Thanks. I don't believe there are any other dynamic updates happening on the zone. This is the first time I've tried to set this up.
How do I find out what is causing the persistent "go away for 10minutes" wait?
Is there a log or something I can check on the cp.zoneedit.com client portal?

hi again.. our logs only indicate the same concern:

Jun 21 12:40:59 dyn02-zpc zoneedit: /var/www/dynamic.zoneed <-@115.69.13.48> Update frequency too high for piclamp17.sstars.ws. Increase time between updates to 600 seconds or more. (Delta 313)
Jun 21 12:41:00 dyn02-zpc zoneedit: /var/www/dynamic.zoneed <-@115.69.13.48> Dynamic request: [client] => zoneedit_legacy; [rsp_ident] => zoneedit; [username] => aleahy2; [password] => ****; [hostname] => piclamp17.sstars.ws; [ip] => 1.2.3.4; [wildcard] => ; [token] => ****;
Jun 21 12:41:00 dyn02-zpc zoneedit: /var/www/dynamic.zoneed <-@115.69.13.48> Update frequency too high for piclamp17.sstars.ws. Increase time between updates to 600 seconds or more. (Delta 314)

I am looking into what yo might be able to do to fix this.

I am having trouble getting the Javascript Client to update my DDNS DYN record nas.microconcepts.com.au
I entered my ZE name,token and the url. Click "Start" the current time is displayed and thats it.
Sniffed the traffic with Wireshark and a healthy TLS stream. Cannot get a response displayed?

I'm trying to get dynamic updates for the wildcard record to work and I keep getting the NO_SERVICE response and that I've specified an invalid hostname.

https://<user>:<token>@api.cp.easydns.com/dyn/generic.php?hostname=<mydomain>.com&wildcard=yes&myip=1.1.1.1

I realize that IP is cloudflares, just trying to see if I can set it from what it currently is.

That's the string I'm using. I have an @ record specified as a DYN record and have a token. I've tried specifying @.mydomain.com as well. I've tried without the wildcard=yes on a different dyn record and get the same outcome. I'm missing something, just unsure that that is. UPdates manually just fine.

I tried ddclient like the member above, modified the update frequency to 15m.
it reports no change required, will report back after my ip address changes.
