API Token

Cloudflare supports API token which can limits scope and permission.

Create Token

First, go to your profile page and access the API Tokens page. Click Create Token.

Then, create a token with #dns_records:edit and #zone:read (optional).

#zone:read is needed if you want to use zone name instead of zone id. If you copy and paste the zone id to configuration, #zone:read is not needed.

The token can be limited to specific zones in Zone Resources.

After that, click Continue to summary and Create Token. Note that the token needed to be copied, it will not be shown again after this. It can be deleted and create a new one anytime needed.
