bulkhover.py 1.1
This is a command-line script to import and export DNS records for a single
domain into or out of a hover account.
Usage:
bulkhover.py [options] (import|export) <domain> <dnsfile>
bulkhover.py (-h | --help)
bulkhover.py --version
Options:
-h --help Show this screen
--version Show version
-c --conf=<conf> Path to conf
-u --username=<user> Your hover username
-p --password=<pass> Your hover password
-f --flush Delete all existing records before importing
Examples:
The DNS file should have one record per line, in the format:
{name} {type} {content}
For example:
www A 127.0.0.1
@ MX 10 example.com
Since the script output is in the same format as its input, you can use shell
pipelines to do complex operations.
Copy all DNS records from one domain to another:
bulkhover.py -c my.conf export example.com - | ./bulkhover.py -c my.conf -f import other.com -
Copy only MX records from one domain to another:
./bulkhover.py -c my.conf export foo.com - | awk '$2 == "MX" {print $0}' | ./bulkhover.py -c my.conf import bar.com -
To avoid passing your username and password in the command-line, you can use
a conf file that contains them instead:
[hover]
username=YOUR_USERNAME
password=YOUR_PASSWORD

Found the solution to my problem here:

@addisflava, assuming you're just running the script via CRON just do multiple calls one for @ and one for * since they both have their own dnsID

I modified the bash script dynhover.sh to fit my needs and also fixed the "You must login first" error. It seemed Curl wasn't using cookies to save the login session. So I changed it to first login, and then run the subsequent dns updates. It might not be as elegant as the simple script above (I'm not a bash coder by any means), but I also made it do a bit more.

I'm using it on a router (EdgeRouter X), so I have easy access to what my current IP is via ethernet interfaces instead of relying on external websites. In this case I parsed the output of the app ip to get the address. Then the address is stored in a file next to the script so that the next time it runs it doesn't have to do any external calls or update hover if it doesn't have to by simply comparing the current ip to one used the last time hover was updated. If it needs updating, it runs the curl commands and writes the new address back to the file. If you want to use it, you'll probably have to change the location of apps used (or the apps themselves, or even go back to using external sites for the ip variable) and storage locations, but if you're on EdgeOS, it should work as is if you stick it in /config/scripts. It also no longer looks for variables passed to it and instead hardcodes them, so if you want that back you can change those relevant lines back to the ones above.

As the API is entirely un-documented and un-supported, it appears they've made some changes recently :)

The API URL for a DNS update is now
https://www.hover.com/api/control_panel/dns

and the minimum JSON required to perform an update is
{"domain":{"id":"domain-YOURDOMAIN.COM","dns_records":[{"id":"dns12345678"}]},"fields":{"content":"127.0.0.1"}}

For anyone interested @mwoffenden , I've pulled this together into a powershell script which will update a single record.
The script demonstrates the bare essentials, nothing clever - but it does what I need it to for now :)

#Update which Hover record?
$dnsID =     "dns12345678"
$dnsdomain = "YOURDOMAIN.com"
$username = "Username"
$password = "Password"


#Get current public IP (pretty cool little trick, don't adjust this line)
$myIP = Resolve-DnsName -Name myip.opendns.com -Server resolver1.opendns.com

#Connect to HoverAPI
$Headers = @{   "accept"="application/json";
                "content-type"="application/json"}
$params = @{    "username"=$username;
                "password"=$password}

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
$loginResult = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.hover.com/api/login" -Method POST -Body ($params|ConvertTo-Json) -Headers $Headers -SessionVariable WebSession

#Check the login was successful
if($loginResult.Headers.'Set-Cookie' -notmatch "hoverauth" -or $loginResult.StatusDescription -ne "OK")
{
    Write-Host "There has been a problem"
}
else
{
    #update the record
    $jsonRequest = '{"domain":{"id":"domain-' + $dnsdomain + '","dns_records":[{"id":"'+$dnsID+'"}]},"fields":{"content":"' + $myIP.IPAddress + '"}}'
    $updateResult = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://www.hover.com/api/control_panel/dns" -Method put -Body $jsonRequest -WebSession $WebSession

@l0cutis Thank you so much for your code. It still works today!
It confused me until I realized that domain- part was needed alongside the actual domain name. If I give it a plain domain name, it will result in an empty error that looks like this: {"succeeded":false,"errors":[]}

Also, I'm kind of curious to know how you figured out the API. Did you capture packets? Or did you look at the source code?

@martian17

@lorenzo95
To create a new record, you can use the following scheme.
URL: https://www.hover.com/api/control_panel/dns
Method: POST
JSON:

{
    dns_record: {
        "name": "_acme-challenge.YOUR_DOMAIN",
        "type": "TXT",
        "content": "CHALLENGE_CONTENT",
        "ttl": "900"
    },
    id: "domain-YOUR_DOMAIN"
}

To destroy a record, you can use the following scheme.
URL: https://www.hover.com/api/control_panel/dns
Method: DELETE
JSON:

{
    "domains":[
        {
            "id":"domain-YOUR_DOMAIN",
            "name":"YOUR_DOMAIN",
            "dns_records":TARGET_RECORD_ID
        }
    ]
}

You can get TARGET_RECORD_ID from GET /api/dns
The above schemes are not specific to text records, so you can use it for other record types like A.

By the way, I figured this out through chrome dev tool's network tab (right click on the specific request and select copy)

Unfortunately though, hover enforced 2fa to all clients a while ago. So to use any of the API, you either need to setup a automatic email/sms receiving setup or disable it through the GUI temporarily (Hover will turn it back on after 1 hour).

As for the certificate renewal, one solution that I found online was to redirect it using an NS record, but hover currently does not seem to offer NS record on the DNS GUI, and it seems that you can't set it through the API either. (It returns a "success":true response, but it takes no effect.)
Another possible solution is to use the CNAME record as mentioned here: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/cant-make-acme-challenge-ns-record-on-hover/50719/3 though I couldn't try as it was not outlined in detail.
The best solution for automation for now seems to be to use another DNS server entirely, but it's not ideal as it would cost extra each month.

My logins to hover.com are not 2FA enforced. I enabled 2FA a while ago, and as soon as I saw it broke my dynamic DNS updates, I turned it off. Just tried logging into the Hover website now and there was no prompt for 2FA, nor did it ask me to re-enable it or set it back up again. I am no longer using this code, but rather some calls to the Hover API with curl, and everything has continued to work fine ever since I turned 2FA off.

@barcoboy is this still working? Can you show the login curl please? I have no 2FA and keep getting locked out.

@wayneconnolly, here are the two curl calls I use to add an entry to my Hover DNS:

#Login
curl "https://www.hover.com/api/login" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d "{"password": "$PASSWORD", "username": "$USERNAME"}" -s -S -c $COOKIEJAR -o /dev/null

#Add to DNS
curl -k "https://www.hover.com/api/domains/mydomain.com/dns" -X POST -d "name=${NAME}" -d "type=TXT" -d "content=${DATA}" -s -S -b $COOKIEJAR

@wayneconnolly, here are the two curl calls I use to add an entry to my Hover DNS:

#Login curl "https://www.hover.com/api/login" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d "{"password": "$PASSWORD", "username": "$USERNAME"}" -s -S -c $COOKIEJAR -o /dev/null

#Add to DNS curl -k "https://www.hover.com/api/domains/mydomain.com/dns" -X POST -d "name=${NAME}" -d "type=TXT" -d "content=${DATA}" -s -S -b $COOKIEJAR

Thank you very much. I'll try this later today. I do note that the login is different so that's a positive thing. https://www.hover.com/signin/auth.json. I emailed hover yesterday asking how to do it also. No idea if they will reply in a helpful manner.

UPDATE: I just tried with username password as you described and it gets a 404. A direct curl to that endpoint shows a 404 also. Could you please confirm on your end?

$ curl -k "https://www.hover.com/api/login"

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you... slipped through the cracks!

a 404 error is normal to that URL when doing a GET request... you have use the POST method. Make sure you are doing that by using the "-X POST" command line parameter with curl.

Thank you - curl "https://www.hover.com/api/login" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d "{"password": "$PASSWORD", "username": "$USERNAME"}" -s -S -c $COOKIEJAR -o /dev/null

I was using -X POST.

I contacted hover.com and it's definately been disabled even with 2FA

Hello!
 
Thanks for your reply - API is no longer usable to log in to Hover. 
If using an API is critical to your setup, I may suggest our sister company, [OpenSRS.com](http://opensrs.com/).
 
Best,
