Question
Dynamic DNS with v2 API (Bash script, using Curl in Ubuntu)
Using the following Bash snippet (with variables defined outside of this block) I am not able to update a dns record.
echo content="$(curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $api_key" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"type": "A", "name": "'"$record_id"'", "data": "'"$ip"'"}' \
-X POST "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains/$domain_id/records/$record_id")"
If I remove $record_id from the URL, it just creates a new record. If I use the A entry name/subdomain “home” in my case, it says record not found, same if I try the numeric ID for the record.
How should I modify this call to properly update the IP of a DNS record?
This is based off the script here (in latest comment from author):

When I run it (as posted on github), it just creates a new record every time, not an update.
