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)
  }
}})
