Use DynDNS via Infomaniak API

This guide provides instructions for using the API to update your Infomaniak DynDNS (dynamic DNS) record.

 

Preamble

  • Not specifying myip (as per the examples below) will include the source IP of the request by default.
  • Make sure to connect an IPv4 or an IPv6 depending on the type of record to update (A or AAAA).
  • It is recommended to not use special characters in the username and password.

 

Using the DynDNS API
 

Make a POST request (GET also allowed) to the following URL:

https://infomaniak.com/nic/update

 

The API requires the HTTPS protocol. Here is an example of a request:

https://username:password@infomaniak.com/nic/update?hostname=subdomain.yourdomain.com&myip=1.2.3.4

This alternative request can also be used:

https://infomaniak.com/nic/update?hostname=subdomain.yourdomain.com&myip=1.2.3.4&username=XXX&password=XXX
