Export Hover.com dns zone file

Disclaimer. In fact it should works. Sep 2018

Problem

If you are using hover.com once a day you may want export your dns zone file. But seems it is not available for now.

I've found some solutions:

Python >=3.6.5 approach: Install requests

pip install requests

Save to file and execute

import requests
import json

# Set you username and password
name = 'hover-username'
password = 'hover-password'

# Login
s = requests.Session()
r = s.post('https://www.hover.com/signin/auth.json',
           data={'username': name, 'password': password})

# Check response
r.raise_for_status()

# Get raw json
response = s.get('https://www.hover.com/api/dns')

# Parse json and return json for each domain
json_response = json.loads(response.text)

for i in json_response['domains']:
    print ( f'[ {i["domain_name"]} ]')
    for e in i['entries']:
        print(f'{e["name"]} {e["type"]} {e["content"]}')
    print("="*25)

Output:
