akcli

An Akamai command line client written in Python. So far e DNS config API, cloudlets edge redirects and CCU purge are supported.

What can it do?

Currently, the following items are supported.

• ccu
• redirect
• dns
  • add_record
  • fetch_record
  • fetch_zone
  • list_records
  • remove_record

The --json flag will format output as JSON to be consumed by other tools such as jq.

Installation

Manually

git clone https://github.com/nbommu1/python-akcli.git

Configuration

By default, akcli looks for a config file at ~/.akamai.cfg. The file should look something like this.

[auth]
baseurl = https://abcd-yaddayadda.luna.akamaiapis.net/
client_token = abcd-yaddayadda
client_secret = randomstuffhere
access_token = abcd-randomstuffhere

redirects.json

 [
  {
    "redirectURL": " /lap-band-update.html", 
    "type": "erMatchRule", 
    "name": "match-url", 
    "matchURL": "/princess_polymath/?p=31", 
    "statusCode": 301
  }
] 

since existing api client can't do CCU purge, we have to setup separate credentails for CCU( I did that /etc/akamai-edgerc)

Usage

             [--debug DEBUG] [--json JSON]
