Not sure what old me had issues with, but just did this again and it worked. I don't even remember posting that comment. Blimey.

I still use the script to this day, still on RPI, and it works fine. The only thing that will break it is when Cloudflare changes their API, to which we could react.

@tarasis I wish i could talk to 'old you' because i am getting that same error. as you.

Getting: API UPDATE FAILED. DUMPING RESULTS: {"success":false,"errors":[{"code":7003,"message":"Could not route to /zones/dns_records, perhaps your object identifier is invalid?"},{"code":7000,"message":"No route for that URI"}],"messages":[],"result":null}

Any idea? It is an account with multiple domains.

Hiya... did you ever get this to work?
