Get DNS record from CloudFlare API

CloudFlare_DDNS_2.md

Let's try to ask DNS record for CloudFlare API.

Replace the "API Token" at auth_key by the API Token you get, the "Zone ID" can be found in Cloudflare Dashboard, logged in the Cloudflare Dashboard, check the Domain page, "Zone ID" information will appearance at API block, right hand side.

import json
import requests

cloudflare_api = "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/"
zone_id = "278035ad7a9d983bc54a990b43ef7eb0"
auth_key = "API Token"
headers = {'Authorization': auth_key, 'Content-Type':'application/json'}

cloudflare_dns = cloudflare_api + "zones/" + zone_id + "/dns_records"  
cloudflare_dns_respon = requests.get(cloudflare_dns, headers=headers)

if cloudflare_dns_respon.status_code == 200:
    print("Ok")
else:
    print(cloudflare_dns_respon.status_code)    

dns_data = json.loads(cloudflare_dns_respon.text)

If the request send successfully, the result will print.

Ok

Then, the JSON data(dns_data) it respon will be like this:

{'result': [{'id': '3f7a9d18e117a65860dc5e2f2abdd191',

$date = Get-Date -Format "MMdd-HHmmss"; curl --request GET --url https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/YOUR_ZONE_ID/dns_records --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "X-Auth-Email: XXX@gmail.com" --header "X-Auth-Key: XXX" --output "CF-DNS-Records-Fetch-on-$date.json"

this works in PS Core 7.4.2

and doesn't work in classic PS 5.0, shipped with Windows

Seems like another bit in long list of differences between the two, just to the attention of the folks who will read the thread.

Anyway, thanks a lot @erbanku, I really appreciate your effort in troubleshooting this. Due to your help I received another error and found out I used the wrong token (API token instead of API key), and got a better understand of CF. Bless you!
