cdn77-helpers

CDN77 is a CDN (Content Delivery Network) service by DataCamp Limited, a UK based company.

As a CDN77 customer, you can make use of their REST API to automate CDN Resource management.

We use the scripts provided here on a daily basis when dealing with content delivery using CDN77 and hope you find them useful as well.

Prerequisites

Linux/Unix packages

You need Bash, curl, and jq, please run

sudo apt install bash curl jq

to install on Debian or Ubuntu.

API Token

In order to use the REST API you need to generate an API token. Run

export CDN77_TOKEN='<token>'

in Bash to make the token available to the scripts.

Overview

We currently provide two scripts

• cdn77-purge-all allows you to instantly remove all cached content from the CDN for a given site.

• cdn77-prefetch-all populates the CDN cache for a given site using the information from its sitemap.txt, so that content is already available on all machines in all data centres when clients start sending requests to the CDN.

Running

cdn77-purge-all.sh <site>

cdn77-prefetch-all.sh <site>

<site> is the site that is on CDN77, e.g. www.mysite.com.
