I was tasked with exporting all records from Dynect to import into another portal. There was some information here: https://support.globaldots.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004002829-Dyn-How-to-get-all-records-from-a-zone-through-the-API which requires the creation of a file in json format with these parameters { "customer_name" : "ACME" , "user_name" : "user", "password" : "secretpassword" }
This would allow me to export only partial information and I needed to export over 750 zones, with over 100 records per zone in some cases. I created the following script, which exports each domain in the zones into its own json file
# Based on https://help.dyn.com/rest-resources/
#!/bin/bash
Token=$(curl -sX POST -d @Credentials.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://api.dynect.net/REST/Session/ | awk -F '"' '{print $10}')
curl -sX GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Auth-Token: $Token" https://api.dynect.net/REST/Zone/ >> Zones.json
cat Zones.json | awk -F ']' '{print $1}' | awk -F '[' '{print $2}' > Zones.json.1
sed -i -e 's|/||g' -i -e 's|RESTZone||g' -i -e 's|,||g' -i -e 's|"||g' Zones.json.1
rm Zones.json && mv Zones.json.1 Zones.json
AllZones=$(cat Zones.json)
for val in ${AllZones[@]};do
curl -sX GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Auth-Token: $Token" https://api.dynect.net/REST/AllRecord/$val/ >> $val.json
echo -e Exporting data for zone $val
cat $val.json | awk -F ']' '{print $1}' | awk -F '[' '{print $2}' > $val.json.1
sed -i -e 's|,||g' -i -e 's|"||g' $val.json.1
rm $val.json && mv $val.json.1 $val.json
done
for i in $(cat Zones.json);do
EachZone=$(cat $i.json)
for val in ${EachZone[@]};do
EachZoneName=$(echo $val | awk -F '/' '{print $4}')
ZoneNameAttribute=$(echo $val | awk -F '/' '{print $3}')
curl -sX GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Auth-Token: $Token" https://api.dynect.net$val/ >> $EachZoneName-Detailed.json && echo >> $EachZoneName-Detailed.json && echo >> $EachZoneName-Detailed.json
echo -e Exporting detailed data for $ZoneNameAttribute in zone $EachZoneName
cat $i-Detailed.json | awk -F 'zone": ' '{print $2}' | awk -F ', "record_id":' '{print $1}' >> $i-Detailed-Cleaned.json
sed -i -e 's|,|\n|g' -i -e 's|"||g' $i-Detailed-Cleaned.json
done
done
#rm *-Detailed.json
