API to create A records

[iwbnis]

Good day,

I was using API to create DNS records for subdomains, it was working very well until few days ago. Has there been any change to API for free account holders?

Can you provide us with some more details?

• what error are you receiving?
• can you share the script/API call? (anonymized if you like?)

I redacted my email address, API Keys and public IP adress:

if (mysqli_num_rows($userData) > 0) {
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($userData)) {
if(!empty($row[‘username’])){

               function cloudflare_api($params,$data,$action){
            	    $cloudflareEndPoint = 'https://api.cloudflare.com';//$params['configoption1'];
            	    $cloudflareAuthEmail = '[email protected]';//$params['configoption2'];
            	    $cloudflareAuthKey = 'myauthkey';//$params['configoption3'];
            	    $ch = curl_init();    
            	    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $cloudflareEndPoint.$action);
            	    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
            	    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
            	    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
            	    $headers = array();
            	    $headers[] = 'X-Auth-Email: '.$cloudflareAuthEmail;
            	    $headers[] = 'X-Auth-Key: '.$cloudflareAuthKey;
            	    $headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
            	    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
            	    $result = curl_exec($ch);
            	    $err = curl_error($ch);
            	    curl_close($ch);
            	    return $result;
            	}
            	
            	$new_url = $row['new_url'];
            	$domain = $row['domain'];
            	
            	$cfdata = [
                    "type" => 'A',
                    "proxied" => true, 
                    "name" => $domain,
                    "content" => '192.168.1.20',
                ];
                $action = '/client/v4/zones/myzoneapi/dns_records';
                $params = array();
                $zones = cloudflare_api($params,$cfdata,$action);
                $zonesd = json_decode($zones,true);
                $dnsRecordId = $zonesd['result']['id'];
                
                
                
           }
            
        }
        
    }

@iwbnis

$headers[] = 'X-Auth-Email: '.$cloudflareAuthEmail;
$headers[] = 'X-Auth-Key: '.$cloudflareAuthKey;

Could you try again with modifying that to:

$headers[] = 'Authorization: Bearer '.$cloudflareAuthKey;

and then use a TOKEN like recommended here:
https://api.cloudflare.com/#getting-started-requests
And make sure your API does have the correct rights according to:

Cloudflare API Documentation

You anyway did not state what error you get like requested here:

Ah …that changes everything. Such errors are very important, please in future always post them if you want to have a good answer

Please have a read here:

Zone Banned and/or Other Zone Restricted Errors

This tutorial post covers three different zone banned/restricted errors. Please select the relevant one for your issue:

This zone is banned and cannot be added to Cloudflare at this time, please contact Cloudflare Support (1097).

This error can be returned when trying to add a domain to Cloudflare. There are a few things that can cause this error (this list contains some ideas but is not exhaustive!). One reason is that the domain may have been involved in phishing/malware, it could also be due …
