-## Njalla's API
-
-As noted in my recent post about
-[switching to Njalla from Cloudflare](/blog/ditching-cloudflare/), I was
-searching for a way to replace my very easy-to-use bash script to
-[update Cloudflare's DNS via their API](/blog/cloudflare-dns-api/).
-
-To reiterate what I said in those posts, this is a common necessity for those of
-us who have non-static IP addresses that can change at any moment due to ISP
-policy.
-
-In order to keep a home server running smoothly, the server admin needs to have
-a process to constantly monitor their public IP address and update their
-domain's DNS records if it changes.
-
-This post explains how to use Python to update Njalla's DNS records whenever a
-machine's public IP address changes.
-
-### Creating a Token
-
-To use Njalla's API, you will first need to create a token that will be used to
-authenticate you every time you call the API. Luckily, this is very easy to do
-if you have an account with Njalla.
-
-Simply go the [API Settings](https://njal.la/settings/api/) page and click the
-`Add Token` button. Next, enter a name for the token and click `Add`.
-
-Finally, click the `Manage` button next to your newly created token and copy the
-`API Token` field.
-
-### Finding the Correct API Request
-
-Once you have a token, you're ready to call the Njalla API for any number of
-requests. For a full listing of available requests, see the
-[Njalla API Documentation](https://njal.la/api/).
-
-For this demo, we are using the `list-records` and `edit-record` requests.
-
-The `list-records` request requires the following payload to be sent when
-calling the API:

-## Server Set-Up
-
-To create this script, we will be using Python. By default, I use Python 3 on my
-servers, so please note that I did not test this in Python 2, and I do not know
-if Python 2 will work for this.
-
-### Creating the Script
-
-First, find a suitable place to create your script. Personally, I just create a
-directory called `ddns` in my home directory:
-
-```sh
+#+end_src

-However, I suggest you read through the entire script before running it; it is
-quite simple and contains comments to help explain each code block.
