I’m a bit confused why you need DDNS for squarespace? Isn’t that a static address? I recommend transferring your domains over to cloudflare. They do have an API you can use. I found a project called DDClient on GitHub that you can run every hour to update your record.

Squarespace has a registrar & DNS business, independent of their hosting services: https://domains.squarespace.com

Squarespace purchased all Google Domains registrations: https://support.google.com/domains/answer/13689670

Any users whose domain registrations were transferred with the purchase would need to find a new registrar if they want a DDNS API.
