How to Issue API Token

While creating config file, we are using Zone:Read permission, and while updating ip of DNS entry, we are using DNS:edit permission. Therefore, individual user should issue Cloudflare API Tokens.

  • At step 5 of official guide, you should click Create Custom Token - Get Started.
  • On Permissions Tab, select proper permissions. See the image below.
