Get Credentials

This guide walks you through obtaining credentials for the Cloudflare plugin.

Authentication Method

The Cloudflare plugin uses API key authentication (Cloudflare API tokens sent as Authorization: Bearer).

Sign in to the Cloudflare dashboard.
Go to My Profile → API Tokens → Create Token.
Use a template or Create Custom Token with permissions for what you need (for example Zone Read, DNS Read, Workers Scripts Read on your account/zones).
Copy the token immediately — it is shown only once.

Storing credentials:

pnpm corsair setup --plugin=cloudflare api_key=your-cloudflare-api-token

Or pass the token in plugin options:

corsair.ts

cloudflare({
	key: process.env.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN,
})

Verify:

pnpm corsair auth --plugin=cloudflare --credentials

Credential	Required for	Where to find
