What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Dear Cloudflare community,

I’m hosting a small Minecraft server at home and protecting it Spectrum. The problem here is that I have DDNS at home. Now I wantet to update the Spectrum application as soon as the IP changes - like I do in my DNS settings.

I’ve tried so many ways to update to IP without success. Is it even possible to make an API call with the PRO plan on a Spectrum application?

I was trying it with curl. Someone got a solution for that?

Best regards and Merry Christmas
Jonas

I’ve only created Spectrum applications with the API and not modified them, but from the API commands available I don’t think it’s possible when the origin is entered as an IP address…

Better to point your Spectrum application at a hostname that’s in your Cloudflare DNS rather than an IP address, and then update the DNS record for the hostname if your IP changes. That way any DDNS client can do it. The DNS record can be proxied if you want to be sure your origin IP is hidden, Spectrum will use the unproxied value.

I’ve not checked which tokens are required for Spectrum anyway, DNS modification is much easier.

Thanks for your reply, but here comes a other problem: I can’t point the Spectrum application to a hostname - I think this limited to Enterprise only.
