Request current IP address of A-record through API

Posted By t_p_tacoma_us07/01/2020 14:49

Hi, I'm hosting my website on my own server and the DynaDot A record points to my IP address - all is fine. However, my ISP changes my external IP address daily and I have to update the A record frequently by logging in etc. Ideally, I want a script to do this through the API by - Looking up the current A-record IP address - comparing it to the required IP address - make changes if necessary In the API manual I found the command "set_default_dns2" to make changes but how do I request the current A-record entry? Thanks, Tim
