    Scenario:

    You have a dynamic, public WAN IP address, and a Mikrotik router somewhere in
    your network.

    You have a domain whose DNS is managed by Cloudflare, and you want to update a
    specific record when your WAN IP changes.

    You don’t want to manage a container/startup script to achieve your goal.

    Solution:

    Customize the local values in the script below, and use it as a scheduled script, running
    every X minutes (X==5 for me).

    :local apiKey "apikeyapikeyapikeyapikeyapikeyapikeyapikeyapikey"


    :local cfUser "youremail@address"
    :local zoneID "zoneIdzoneIdzoneIdzoneIdzoneIdzoneId"
    :local recordID "recordIDrecordIDrecordIDrecordIDrecordID"
    :local domainName "example.com"

    # Do not edit below

    :local currentIP ([/tool fetch url="https://ifconfig.me/ip" mode=https output=user


    :local cloudflareDNSIP [:resolve $domainName server=1.1.1.1];

    :if ($currentIP != $cloudflareDNSIP) do={


    # If the IP has changed, update the Cloudflare record
    :log info ("Updating Cloudflare record. Old IP: " . $cloudflareDNSIP . " New IP:

    :local httpHeaders ("X-Auth-Email: " . $cfUser . "\r\nX-Auth-Key: " . $apiKey . "


    :local payload ("{\"type\":\"A\",\"name\":\"" . $domainName . "\",\"content\":\""
    /tool fetch mode=https url="https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$zoneID/dn
    }

    Future me looking for this solution: you’re welcome ;).
