@pheistman
looks like you don't have pip installed
install pip and try again

[pheistman]

Thanks for the response, i'll try it out

@pheistman
i apologize for my previous comment
it's called Origin Key, right below your API Key
starts with v1...

[pheistman]

Thanks a lot for your assistance. I've installed pip and used the Origin Key which has got it working.
However, I've noticed that after the script creates an A Record of ddns in Cloudflare which points to my updated IP address, I now have 2 A records.
The first is ddns A record which points to the updated IP address and the second A record is my domain name pointing to my old IP address.
Is there a way to keep 1 A record which gets updated when the script runs?

Thanks in advance

have you tried removing the second A record?
happens when you remove it?

[pheistman]

Ok so 2 things happen.

1. When i remove the newly created ddns A record, I still have my old A record which is my domain name pointing to the old IP address. After running the script, it only creates a new A record with name ddns which points to the updated IP address.

2. When i remove the A record which has the name of my domain pointing to the old IP address, all i have left is the newly created ddns A record pointing to the updated IP address. It breaks my website making it unreachable. Cloudflare also puts up a warning that "An A, AAAA or CNAME record was not found pointing to the root domain. The domain will not resolve."

Hi @pheistman, Sorry for the late reply. Idk if you figured it out. I understand the 2 A Records are example.com and ddns.example.com. These are not the same A Records. Your root domain is having your old IP and the program is set to create an sub domain to track your ddns ip.

You have 2 option:

1. Reprogram the source code to take root domain instead of sub domain.
2. Use your root domain for some other purpose like hosting something in git and use ddns sub domain for accessing your local ip.
