NAME

Net::Cloudflare::DNS - DNS API for Cloudflare API v4

VERSION

Version 0.17

SYNOPSIS

This perl module is working for Cloudflare DNS API v4.

If you find any issues in using the module, please don't hesitate to email me: opensoft [at] posthub.me

My system is Ubuntu, to use the module, I have the following perl modules pre-installed in the system.

    sudo apt install libio-socket-ssl-perl
    sudo cpanm LWP::Protocol::https

After then, you can run "cpanm Net::Cloudflare::DNS" to install this module.

    use strict;
    use Net::Cloudflare::DNS;
    use Data::Dumper;

    my $api_key = " ";
    my $zone_id = " ";
    my $email = " ";

    # new the object
    my $dns = Net::Cloudflare::DNS->new(email=>$email, api_key=>$api_key, zone_id=>$zone_id);
    my $res;

    # create record
    $res = $dns->create_record(type=>"A", name=>"www.sample.com", content=>"74.81.81.81", proxied=>\1, ttl=>60);

    # get records
    $res = $dns->get_records(name=>"www.sample.com");

    # parse record id
    my $rid = $res->{result}->[0]->{id};

    # update record
    $res = $dns->update_record($rid, type=>"A", name=>"www.sample.com",content=>"52.1.14.22", proxied=>\0, ttl=>60);

    # delete record
    $res = $dns->delete_record($rid);

    # If it success, cloudflare's response is just resturned as a reference to you.
    # Otherwise the method just dies, you should catch the error in the code.
    print Dumper $res;

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

    my $dns = Net::Cloudflare::DNS->new(email=>$email, api_key=>$api_key, zone_id=>$zone_id);

You have to provide 3 arguments to new() method. The first is your registration email on Cloudflare. The second is your API Key, which can be found on Cloudflare's management panel ("Global API Key"). The last is Zone ID, each zone has the unique ID, which can be found on zone's page.

Please notice: You must enable zone edit permissions for this API. In management panel, when you click "Create Token", you have the chance to setup permissions for the zone, with which you can edit zone's DNS records.
