# This script is used to check and update your GoDaddy DNS server to the IP address of your current internet connection. | |
# Special thanks to mfox for his ps script | |

# First go to GoDaddy developer site to create a developer account and get your key and secret | |
# | |
# https://developer.godaddy.com/getstarted | |
# Be aware that there are 2 types of key and secret - one for the test server and one for the production server | |
# Get a key and secret for the production server | |
# | |
#Update the first 4 variables with your information | |
domain="" # your domain | |
name="" # name of A record to update | |
key="" # key for godaddy developer API | |
secret="" # secret for godaddy developer API | |
headers="Authorization: sso-key $key:$secret" | |
# echo $headers | |
result=$(curl -s -X GET -H "$headers" \ | |
"https://api.godaddy.com/v1/domains/$domain/records/A/$name") | |
dnsIp=$(echo $result | grep -oE "\b([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}\b") | |
# echo "dnsIp:" $dnsIp | |
# Get public ip address there are several websites that can do this. | |
ret=$(curl -s GET "http://ipinfo.io/json") | |
currentIp=$(echo $ret | grep -oE "\b([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}\b") | |

Script didn't work for me. I had to add record type to the request field:
request="[{\"data\":\"$currentIp\",\"ttl\":600,\"type\":\"A\"}]"
This no longer works unless you have 20 or over (or maybe 50 or over) domains with GoDaddy as they have disabled the API without telling anyone. You will get a "Authenticated user is not allowed access" response.
