# transip
This library crate can be used for calling functions on the [`Transip Api`] endpoint.
Only part of the api is implemented. The main reason for writing this library is the ability
to [`CRUD`] dns records for a particular domain. This functionality can be used to respond to DNS01 challenges from the [`Let's Encrypt`] servers.
This type of challenge is needed to get wildcard certificates.
## Example
```no_run
use transip::{configuration_from_environment, Client, api::general::GeneralApi};
fn main() {
let mut client = configuration_from_environment()
.and_then(Client::try_from)
.expect("No cliƫnt");
let pong = client.api_test().expect("api test failed");
assert_eq!(pong.as_str(), "pong");
}
```
## Environment variables
The following environment variables should be set!.
### TRANSIP_API_USERNAME
This is the username used in authentication
Example
```bash
export TRANSIP_API_USERNAME=paulusminus
```
### TRANSIP_API_PRIVATE_KEY
This is the name of the file that holds the pem encoded private key used in authentication
Example
```bash
export TRANSIP_API_PRIVATE_KEY=/etc/transip/private.pem
```
### TRANSIP_API_READONLY
Can be 'true' or 'false'. If you wan't to prevent accidental modifications set this to 'true'.
Example
```bash
export TRANSIP_API_READONLY=false
```
### TRANSIP_API_WHITELISTED_ONLY
Can be 'true' or 'false'. If you wan't to access the api on a whitelisted ipaddress set this to 'true'.
### TRANSIP_API_TOKEN_EXPIRATION
Authentication means receiving a token. The interval in which the received will expired can be controlled.
#### Example 1
```bash
export TRANSIP_API_TOKEN_EXPIRATION=5 minutes
```
#### Example 2
```bash
export TRANSIP_API_TOKEN_EXPIRATION=55 seconds
```
#### Example 3
```bash
export TRANSIP_API_TOKEN_EXPIRATION=1 hour
```
### TRANSIP_API_LOG_DIR
Directory where the rotating log files are written.
#### Example
```bash
export TRANSIP_API_LOG_DIR=/var/log/transip
```
### TRANSIP_API_TOKEN_PATH
Name of the file where the authentication token received from the endpoint will be written to.
#### Example
```bash
export TRANSIP_API_TOKEN_PATH=/root/.token.txt
