You can use the Cloudflare API with a Python library like `Cloudflare` or `requests` to fetch the current DNS records, determine their expiration dates (if applicable), and update them before they expire. The script would need to authenticate with your Cloudflare account (using API tokens or global API keys), query the DNS zone, identify records needing renewal, and then use the API to update their values or TTLs. Error handling and logging are crucial for reliability.
