specify path to python in cronjob string?

Hi I am new to github and not even a programmer - a tinkerer really. First off - thank you very much for writing this python script! But I haven't been able to get it to work! :( I don't what I am doing, but I think maybe the string has to first specify to execute the script using python3 and include the path to python3 as well, right?
Should it look something rather like this?

*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/python3 ./ionos_dyndns.py --AAAA --api-prefix my_prefix_string --api-secret my_secret_string

Could not find a public IPv6 address on this system

This is the only output in my logfile, IPv6 is activated on my system

Script wrongly reports no A/AAAA record found when FQDN case doesn't match

Solution: convert FQDN to lowercase. IONOS API only uses lowercase too.

Error when running script with -6/--AAAA when no public IPv6 address is configured

Origin: Trying get the first capture group from a regex match agains an empty string (because no public IPv6 address is configured)
Solution: Check if public IPv6 is configured on system and only then try to match the regex and get the output from the capture group. Otherwise just return an empty string and log a message saying no IPv6 address was found
