Dynamic DNS Server WHM API PHP

I'm trying to consolidate some services, and was looking to see what has been done with WHM and dynamic dns using API tokens. I found this, but it is user/password based:

github.com/teampalmtree/WHMDDNS

I found this as an example of the API token implementation for php:

Guide to API Authentication - API Tokens - Developer Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Has anyone done something already? Between the above two links I think I could hack together something for my own uses, but I thought I would ask the community.

 

So I took those two examples I posted and wrote a php script that is mostly compatible with the DynDNS "protocol". There isn't as much to it as I thought. I need to clean up and workout the authentication part still but if anyone is interested, I'd be happy to share.

You need to create a WHM API token for it to work. You then configure a sub-domain to act as the update server where you drop the php script and .htaccess file. Then you configure your DDNS client to point at the server, use DynDNS protocol (if necessary) and go to town. It could still use some improvements to flexibility and robustness I'm sure.

 

Thanks for providing that link. That is a well developed script it looks like, but in a different direction. I'll share mine when I get a little more done.

 

Here is my code (but I'm not a coder in general). I still need to update the readme with how to use it.
