Dynamic DNS on Digital Ocean

RouterOS General
1

Hello to everyone,
Digital Ocean offers a wonderful option to manage one’s domains’ DNS records. Though there is no official Dynamic DNS record in the control panel, there are workarounds to make it workable through their API.
I managed to use script https://gist.github.com/glpunk/8679208#gistcomment-1383398 on a Linux box that updates my ISP’s dynamic IP to the A record of a subdomain of my site.

#your domain ID
domain_id="XXX"
#subdomain
subdomain="XXX"
#record to update, must be numeric id (you can find this by inspecting HTML on the dns edit page)
record_id="XXX"
#your api key
api_key="XXX"

### don't change ###
ip="$(curl  http://ipecho.net/plain)"
echo content="$(curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $api_key" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
                 -d '{"name": "'"$subdomain"'", "data": "'"$ip"'"}' \
                 -X PUT "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/domains/$domain_id/records/$record_id")"

However I would like to use a in-house solution on the Mikrotik device that updates the IP. I happened to use a script http://mattdietz.net/posts/namecheap-dyndns-with-a-mikrotik.html that updated the IP on the Mikrotik for Namecheap.com and it worked flawlessly. I tried to modify it, but due to the lack of knowledge I ended up with nothing workable.

Can someone point me into the right direction or maybe someone has already a viable solution?

Thank you.

I could not link your request directly to what you need, but there is the public DDNS offered by MikroTik itself, at IP->Cloud (supports only IPv4 as now).
There you can make Digital Ocean point to the link created by the MikroTik.

Disable Update Time if you already have a NTP Client setup.

Thank you. I am already using it but I wanted, and to be honest still desire to have a backup solution.
Any thoughts?
Someone?
