        Manipulate DNS records on various DNS providers in a standardized/agnostic way. 
        
        ## Introduction
        Lexicon provides a way to manipulate DNS records on multiple DNS providers in a standardized way. 
        Lexicon has a CLI but it can also be used as a python library. 
        
        Lexicon was designed to be used in automation, specifically letsencrypt.
        
        ## Providers
        Only DNS providers who have an API can be supported by `lexicon`. 
        
        The current supported providers are:
        
        - cloudflare ([docs](https://api.cloudflare.com/#endpoints))
        - pointhq ([docs](https://pointhq.com/api/docs))
        - dnsimple ([docs](https://developer.dnsimple.com/))
        
        The next planned providers are:
        
        - NS1 ([docs](https://ns1.com/api/))
        - Rackspace ([docs](https://developer.rackspace.com/docs/cloud-dns/v1/developer-guide/))
        - ClouDNS ([docs](https://www.cloudns.net/wiki/article/56/))
        - Rage4 ([docs](https://gbshouse.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/109834-rage4-dns-developers-api))
        - Namecheap ([docs](https://www.namecheap.com/support/api/methods.aspx))
        - AWS Route53 ([docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/Welcome.html))
        - DnsMadeEasy ([docs](http://www.dnsmadeeasy.com/integration/pdf/API-Docv2.pdf))
        
        ## Setup
        To use lexicon as a CLI application, do the following:
        	
        	pip install dns-lexicon
        
        You can also install the latest version from the repository directly. 
         
        	pip install git+https://github.com/AnalogJ/lexicon.git
        			
        ## Usage
        
        	$ lexicon -h
        	usage: cli.py [-h] [--name NAME] [--content=CONTENT] [--ttl=TTL]
        				  [--priority=PRIORITY] [--identifier=IDENTIFIER]
        				  [--auth-username=AUTH_USERNAME] [--auth-password=AUTH_PASSWORD]
        				  [--auth-token=AUTH_TOKEN] [--auth-otp-token=AUTH_OTP_TOKEN]
        				  {base,cloudflare,__init__} {create,list,update,delete} domain
        				  {A,CNAME,MX,SOA,TXT}
        	
        	Create, Update, Delete, List DNS entries
        	
        	positional arguments:
        	  {cloudflare}
        							specify the DNS provider to use
        	  {create,list,update,delete}
        							specify the action to take
        	  domain                specify the domain, supports subdomains as well
        	  {A,CNAME,MX,SOA,TXT}  specify the entry type
        	
        	optional arguments:
        	  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
        	  --name=NAME           specify the record name
        	  --content=CONTENT     specify the record content
        	  --ttl=TTL             specify the record time-to-live
        	  --priority=PRIORITY   specify the record priority
        	  --identifier=IDENTIFIER
        							specify the record for update or delete actions
        	  --auth-username=AUTH_USERNAME
        							specify username used to authenticate to DNS provider
        	  --auth-password=AUTH_PASSWORD
        							specify password used to authenticate to DNS provider
        	  --auth-token=AUTH_TOKEN
        							specify token used authenticate to DNS provider
        	  --auth-otp-token=AUTH_OTP_TOKEN
        							specify OTP/2FA token used authenticate to DNS
        							provider
        
        Using the lexicon CLI is pretty simple:
        
        	# setup provider environmental variables:
        	LEXICON_CLOUDFLARE_USERNAME="myusername@example.com"
        	LEXICON_CLOUDFLARE_TOKEN="cloudflare-api-token"
        	
        	# list all TXT records on cloudflare
        	lexicon cloudflare list example.com TXT
        	
        	# create a new TXT record on cloudflare
        	lexicon cloudflare create www.example.com TXT --name="_acme-challenge.www.example.com." --content="challenge token"
        
        	# delete a  TXT record on cloudflare
        	lexicon cloudflare delete www.example.com TXT --name="_acme-challenge.www.example.com." --content="challenge token"
        	lexicon cloudflare delete www.example.com TXT --identifier="cloudflare record id"
        
        	
        
        ### Letsencrypt Instructions
        Lexicon has an example [letsencrypt.sh hook file](examples/letsencrypt.cloudflare.sh) that you can use for any supported provider. 
        All you need to do is change the PROVIDER parameter. 
        
        	letsencrypt.sh --cron --hook letsencrypt.cloudflare.sh --challenge dns-01
        	
        
        ## TroubleShooting & Useful Tools
        There is an included example Dockerfile that can be used to automatically generate certificates for your website.
        
        ## ToDo list
        
        - [x] Create and Register a lexicon pip package. 
        - [ ] Write documentation on supported environmental variables. 
        - [ ] Wire up automated release packaging on PRs.
