api.dynamic_dns_delete()- Generate and save an API key from NameSilo. See NameSilo for help.
- Generate and save an API key from SendGrid. See ...
- Create copies of the script as needed and configure them.
- Export required ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES: NAMESILO_API_KEY and SENDGRID_API_KEY
- Save the python file and run it using
python <whateverYouNamedIt>.py. Some systems may run two versions of python:python3 <whateverYouNamedIt>.py - (optional) Add this command to cron or scheduler depending, ya know?
You can also use this as a class in your own programs, though it is a rather immature implementation as of writing.
Create an issue and I'm happy to help :)
