I'd like to delete a single DNS record (an A record) through the API via CURL or any other Shell/Bash command.
I also tried to access GoDaddy's website but unfortunately it no longer exists and returns 404.
Is it possible, how can I do that?

EDIT The original answer seems to be obsolete
GoDaddy has added the respective endpoint to delete a single entry. So now you can do
DELETE /v1/domains/{domain}/records/A/{name}
Original answer
Unfortunately, godaddy's api does not provide the endpoint for deleting a single domain record in a single call. So you will have to
GET /v1/domains/{domain}/records/Ato fetch all A-records for the domain first (https://developer.godaddy.com/doc/endpoint/domains#/v1/recordGet)- remove the record to delete from the resulting list
PUT /v1/domains/{domain}/records/Athe modified recordset to replace all A-records for the domain with the given list of records (https://developer.godaddy.com/doc/endpoint/domains#/)
As the API endpoints return/expect JSON data, you might need some additional tool to manipulate the json data. You might find something in this answer Parsing JSON with Unix tools
You might be tempted to use PUT /v1/domains/{domain}/records/A/{recordname} to replace all A-records with the given name with the provided list of records (https://developer.godaddy.com/doc/endpoint/domains#/v1/recordReplaceTypeName) using an empty list of records in the body. The last time I tried that, it didn't work.
