That's kind of strange. The logic is to:

1. Get all records for the domain and search for the record matching the record type (A) and the host (i.e. @)
2. If not found, send a request to create it
3. If found, update it

I would guess the problem lies in step 1.

Can you please check what you get from accessing https://username:token@api.name.com/v4/domains/yourdomain.com/records from your browser (and replace username, token and yourdomain.com?

I expect it to be similar to:

{
    "records": [
        {
            "id": 12345,
            "domainName": "yourdomain.com",
            "host": "@",
            "fqdn": "yourdomain.com",
            "type": "A",
            "answer": "1.2.3.4",
            "ttl": 300
        }
    ]
}		

Let me know if this matches or if there is a mismatch?

You can also further debug it for me by using LOG_LEVEL=debug which logs out every http request and responses.
