DNS zone file

hover-export.js

// Hover.com "Zone file import/export" has been *Planned* since 2011
// https://help.hover.com/entries/471066-Zone-file-import-export
// Here's a brittle approximation of export.
//
// 1. login to your account: https://www.hover.com/domains
// 2. run the following in your browser's JavaScript console, changing the first line
//    to your domain
// 3. copy the text logged to the console.
// 4. manually correct FQDNs, these have to end with a period "."
//
// If things go wrong a noisy error should appear in the console; JavaScript debugger might
// stop on the offending code.

var domain = 'tool-man.org'
$.ajax({ type:"GET", url:"/api/dns", success:function(response){
  if (response.succeeded) {
    var entries = _(response.domains).find(function(d) { return d.domain_name === domain }).entries
    var records = _(entries).map(function(e) { return [e.name, 'IN', e.type, e.content].join(' ') })
    var result = "$TTL 900\n" + records.join("\n")
    console.log(result)
  }
}})

Thanks! I was getting an error where it wasn't locating the domain object in the response, so I forked it and put in a dirty hack to just use the first domain it finds to get it working. 😄

Amazing. This worked like a charm.

You rock. Thank you for posting this. Worked just fine for me, too. I copied the output from the console into my own .zone file and appended a period (.) to each line with a FQDN, same as shown in your example file.

Thanks!

This worked excellently, thanks! Very clever. ;)

Thank you so much for writing this little script and sharing it, I really appreciate it.

Thank you sir!

Much appreciated!

Years later this is still much appreciated. Thank you!

2021 still works 🙏

works. +1 what's up with hover.com?
