Python Cloudflare Dynamic DNS Update script

cloudflare-update.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

"""
Update Cloudflare zone entry to current external IP.

Works great with servers on changing IPs or AWS spot instances.

Usage:
  python cloudflare_update.py subdomain

import sys
import json
import requests

EMAIL = 'XXXXX'
KEY = 'XXXXXXX'
ZONE = 'XXXX.com'
RECORD = sys.argv[1]
CONTENT = requests.get('http://jsonip.com').json()['ip']

headers = {'X-Auth-Key': KEY, 'X-Auth-Email': EMAIL, 'Content-type': 'application/json'}
base_url = 'https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4{}'

# Get Zone ID
r = requests.get(base_url.format('/zones'), headers=headers)
for res in r.json()['result']:
    if res['name'] == ZONE:
        ZONE_ID = res['id']

# Get list of Zone DNS records
RECORD_ID = None
url_path = '/zones/{}/dns_records'.format(ZONE_ID)
r = requests.get(base_url.format(url_path), headers=headers)
for res in r.json()['result']:
    if res['name'] == '{}.{}'.format(RECORD, ZONE):
        RECORD_ID = res['id']

# Update or add Zone Record.
JSON_CONTENT = json.dumps({'type': 'A', 'name': RECORD, 'content': CONTENT})
if RECORD_ID:
    url_path = '/zones/{}/dns_records/{}'.format(ZONE_ID, RECORD_ID)
    url = base_url.format(url_path)
    requests.put(url, headers=headers data=JSON_CONTENT)
else:
    url_path = '/zones/{}/dns_records'.format(ZONE_ID)
    url = base_url.format(url_path)
    requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=JSON_CONTENT)

You need to edit line 44 to have a comma, otherwise you'll get a syntax error:
requests.put(url, headers=headers, data=JSON_CONTENT)

Hey this script only adds another A record to my Cloudflare but does not delete or alter the old one, so that I collect a lot of old entries... any idea how to fix that?

Here is a similar bash script I just wrote for my company if anyone is interested: https://github.com/MachineITSvcs/Cloudflare-DDNS-Update
