Why using Lexicon?

Lexicon provides a way to manipulate DNS records on multiple DNS providers in a standardized way.

Lexicon can be used as:

• a CLI tool:

# Create a TXT entry in domain.net zone hosted by CloudFlare
lexicon cloudflare create domain.net TXT --name foo --content bar

• or a Python library:

# Create a TXT entry in domain.net zone hosted by CloudFlare
from lexicon.client import Client
from lexicon.config import ConfigResolver

config = ConfigResolver().with_env().with_dict({
    "provider_name" : "cloudflare",
    "domain": "domain.net",
})

with Client(config) as operations:
    operations.create_record("TXT", "foo", "bar")

Lexicon was designed to be used in automation, specifically letsencrypt.

• Generating Intranet & Private Network SSL Certificates using Lets Encrypt & Lexicon
