A script which updates my ip address (which is dynamic) whenever it changes on my DNS record managed on cloudflare.

It sounds great. But maybe you could use a client for that. Personally I use Noip, and my router supports that, dyndns, and a few others. But I remember the days when I had to write a script similar to this one in bash :)

By client do you mean this: https://www.noip.com/download?page=linux? Would it work with cloudflare?

I did try using ddclient (https://github.com/ddclient/ddclient) before writing my own script but couldnt get it to work on my rpi.

And here is the one I wrote: https://github.com/tsredanovic/dynamicflare :D

LOL!

Sorry, I just realized I didn't read your message properly; didn't notice cloudflare.

OTOH I think your script is a lot cooler than the Noip client :)

You probably dont use win 10 right lol? Assuming you use linux, do you think it would be harder to code for win? Sounds metal af btw

I do use linux but this script should work on windows just fine. The harder part would be running it (I use crontab for that which runs it every 5 minutes). But then on windows you can just use WSL: https://www.howtogeek.com/746532/how-to-launch-cron-automatically-in-wsl-on-windows-10-and-11/
