Cloudflare Manager

# Cloudflare API Skill

Control Cloudflare infrastructure: DNS management, CDN, security, Workers, and more.

Authentication

API token required. Get one from: https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens

• Recommended permissions:
• Zone:Zone:Read
• Zone:Zone:Edit
• Zone:DNS:Read
• Zone:DNS:Edit

Store in `~/.config/cloudflare/token`: ```bash mkdir -p ~/.config/cloudflare echo -n "YOUR_API_TOKEN" > ~/.config/cloudflare/token chmod 600 ~/.config/cloudflare/token ```

Quick Reference

Zones (Domains)

```bash # List all zones python3 scripts/cloudflare.py zones list

# Get zone details python3 scripts/cloudflare.py zones get <domain>

# Add new zone python3 scripts/cloudflare.py zones add <domain>

# Delete zone python3 scripts/cloudflare.py zones delete <domain>

# Check zone status (pending/active) python3 scripts/cloudflare.py zones status <domain>

# Purge cache python3 scripts/cloudflare.py zones purge <domain> python3 scripts/cloudflare.py zones purge <domain> --urls https://example.com/page ```

DNS Records

```bash # List records for a zone python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns list <domain>

# Add record python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add <domain> --type A --name @ --content 1.2.3.4 python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add <domain> --type CNAME --name www --content example.com python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add <domain> --type MX --name @ --content mail.example.com --priority 10 python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add <domain> --type TXT --name @ --content "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"

# Update record python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns update <domain> <record_id> --content 5.6.7.8

# Delete record python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns delete <domain> <record_id>

# Proxy toggle (orange cloud on/off) python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns proxy <domain> <record_id> --on python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns proxy <domain> <record_id> --off ```

SSL/TLS

```bash # Get SSL mode python3 scripts/cloudflare.py ssl get <domain>

# Set SSL mode (off, flexible, full, strict) python3 scripts/cloudflare.py ssl set <domain> --mode full

# Always use HTTPS python3 scripts/cloudflare.py ssl https <domain> --on ```

Page Rules

```bash # List page rules python3 scripts/cloudflare.py rules list <domain>

# Add redirect rule python3 scripts/cloudflare.py rules add <domain> --match "example.com/*" --redirect "https://new.com/$1"

# Delete rule python3 scripts/cloudflare.py rules delete <domain> <rule_id> ```

Firewall

```bash # List firewall rules python3 scripts/cloudflare.py firewall list <domain>

# Block IP python3 scripts/cloudflare.py firewall block <domain> --ip 1.2.3.4 --note "Spammer"

# Block country python3 scripts/cloudflare.py firewall block <domain> --country CN --note "Block China"

# Whitelist IP python3 scripts/cloudflare.py firewall allow <domain> --ip 1.2.3.4

# Challenge (captcha) for IP range python3 scripts/cloudflare.py firewall challenge <domain> --ip 1.2.3.0/24 ```

Analytics

```bash # Get traffic stats (last 24h) python3 scripts/cloudflare.py analytics <domain>

# Get stats for date range python3 scripts/cloudflare.py analytics <domain> --since 2024-01-01 --until 2024-01-31 ```

Workers (Serverless)

```bash # List workers python3 scripts/cloudflare.py workers list

# Deploy worker python3 scripts/cloudflare.py workers deploy <name> --script worker.js

# Delete worker python3 scripts/cloudflare.py workers delete <name> ```

DNS Record Types

| Type | Purpose | Example | |------|---------|---------| | A | IPv4 address | 192.0.2.1 | | AAAA | IPv6 address | 2001:db8::1 | | CNAME | Alias | www → example.com | | MX | Mail server | mail.example.com (priority 10) | | TXT | Text/verification | v=spf1 ... | | NS | Nameserver | ns1.example.com | | SRV | Service | _sip._tcp.example.com | | CAA | Certificate authority | letsencrypt.org |

Proxy Status (Orange Cloud)

• Proxied (on): Traffic goes through Cloudflare CDN — caching, DDoS protection, hides origin IP
• DNS only (off): Direct connection to origin — use for mail servers, non-HTTP services

```bash # Enable proxy python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add example.com --type A --name @ --content 1.2.3.4 --proxied

# Disable proxy (DNS only) python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add example.com --type A --name mail --content 1.2.3.4 --no-proxy ```

SSL Modes

| Mode | Description | |------|-------------| | off | No SSL (not recommended) | | flexible | HTTPS to Cloudflare, HTTP to origin | | full | HTTPS end-to-end, any cert on origin | | strict | HTTPS end-to-end, valid cert on origin |

Common Workflows

Add a New Domain

```bash # 1. Add zone to Cloudflare python3 scripts/cloudflare.py zones add example.com

# 2. Note the nameservers (e.g., adam.ns.cloudflare.com, bella.ns.cloudflare.com)

# 3. Update nameservers at your registrar

# 4. Add DNS records python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add example.com --type A --name @ --content 1.2.3.4 --proxied python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add example.com --type CNAME --name www --content example.com --proxied

# 5. Set SSL to strict python3 scripts/cloudflare.py ssl set example.com --mode strict ```

Migrate DNS from Another Provider

```bash # 1. Add zone (Cloudflare will scan existing records) python3 scripts/cloudflare.py zones add example.com

# 2. Verify records imported correctly python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns list example.com

# 3. Add any missing records python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add example.com --type MX --name @ --content mail.example.com --priority 10

# 4. Update nameservers at registrar

# 5. Wait for propagation, check status python3 scripts/cloudflare.py zones status example.com ```

Set Up Email Records

```bash # MX records python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add example.com --type MX --name @ --content mx1.provider.com --priority 10 python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add example.com --type MX --name @ --content mx2.provider.com --priority 20

# SPF python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add example.com --type TXT --name @ --content "v=spf1 include:_spf.provider.com ~all"

# DKIM python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add example.com --type TXT --name selector._domainkey --content "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=..."

# DMARC python3 scripts/cloudflare.py dns add example.com --type TXT --name _dmarc --content "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:[email protected]" ```

Direct API Access

```bash TOKEN=$(cat ~/.config/cloudflare/token) curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones ```

API Documentation

• Full API reference: https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/
• API v4 base URL: https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/

Free Plan Includes

• DNS hosting (unlimited queries)
• CDN (caching at 300+ edge locations)
• DDoS protection (unmetered)
• SSL/TLS certificates (auto-renewed)
• 3 page rules
• Basic firewall rules
• Analytics

Nameservers

• When you add a domain, Cloudflare assigns two nameservers like:
• `adam.ns.cloudflare.com`
• `bella.ns.cloudflare.com`

Update these at your domain registrar. Zone stays "pending" until nameservers propagate.
