Request current IP address of A-record through API

Hi,

I'm hosting my website on my own server and the DynaDot A record points to my IP address - all is fine. However, my ISP changes my external IP address daily and I have to update the A record frequently by logging in etc. Ideally, I want a script to do this through the API by

- Looking up the current A-record IP address
- comparing it to the required IP address
- make changes if necessary

In the API manual I found the command "set_default_dns2" to make changes but how do I request the current A-record entry?

Thanks,
Tim
