cloudflare-cli

npm version CircleCI

CLI for interacting with Cloudflare

Installation

You can install using NPM or using Docker

Install via npm

npm install -g cloudflare-cli

Install from Dockerhub

docker pull dpig/cloudflare-cli:latest
# Running a command
docker run --rm -it dpig/cloudflare-cli -h

Build Dockerfile locally

git clone https://github.com/danielpigott/cloudflare-cli.git\
docker build -t cloudflare-cli .
# Running a command
docker run --rm -it cloudflare-cli -h

Setup

You can setup a yaml config file with default parameters e.g. token and email. By default cfcli will look for ".cfcli.yml" in your home directory (you can also pass in a config file with -c)

Cloudflare API Keys and Tokens

Cloudflare has two API client methods: API Tokens and API Keys (Legacy) (See below screenshot)

  • API Tokens can be setup with specific permissions and do not use an email address. Recommended by Cloudflare
  • API Keys are the legacy method, do not have specific permissions and require the corresponding user's email address to be provided.

In the cfcli setup, if you exclude an email address, then the cfcli tool will assume you are using an API Token instead of an API Key.

Configuration Example

If you have only one cloudflare account you can set it up as below:

defaults:
    token: <cloudflare-token>
    email: <[email protected]> #Only required if using legacy API Key
    domain: <default-cloudflare-domain>

If you have multiple cloudflare accounts, and you can set up accounts as below:

defaults:
    account: work
accounts:
    work:
        token: <cloudflare-token>
        email: <[email protected]>
        domain: <default-cloudflare-domain>
    play:
        token: <cloudflare-token>
        email: <[email protected]>
        domain: <default-cloudflare-domain>
    adventure:
        token: <cloudflare-token>
        domain: <default-cloudflare-domain>

You can then use -u play to interact with the second cloudflare account.

If the email option is excluded, then the request will be made using what is assumed to be an API Token vs. an API Key.

defaults:
    account: adventure
accounts:
    adventure:
        token: <cloudflare-token>
        domain: <default-cloudflare-domain>

Environment Variables

  • Environment variables take precedence over the configuration file.
  • If the CF_API_EMAIL variable is excluded, then the request will be made using what is assumed to be an API Token vs. an API Key.
CF_API_KEY # maps to token
CF_API_EMAIL # maps to email
CF_API_DOMAIN # maps to domain

The tests can be run with the following command

yarn test
