Gandi details

API Key (Apply here: https://www.gandi.net/admin/api_key)

Usage

gandi-dyndns --api=APIKEY --domain=DOMAIN --record=RECORD

Currently very lazy but working mode. Note that there is a gandi bug, as where the program updates the zone and activates it, gandi does not show this through their webinterface. I'll be contacting them to fix this.

See http://gerard.geekandfree.org/blog/2012/03/01/debarrassez-vous-de-dyndns-en-utilisant-lapi-de-gandi/

All communication outside the local network is done over https.

If you have a Livebox, you can specify --provider orange to retrieve your public IP from your box (faster, better than online services). Also supported: orange_v2 and orange_v3 (if using orange the updater will try to guess if it's v2 or v3).

You can turn the local cache on by appending --cache. This reduces api calls to gandi rpc because your domain data is not retrieved each time.
