Is there a way to find out who created a service in Cloudflare? I have to return all the services and know who they were created by. For this, I would like to do it via the cloudflare API, on the internet it tells me to go to the “Audit Logs” section. knowing that the history is limited, is there another way?

As you mentioned, the Audit Logs are indeed the best option, since you can see who created the service, but has limited history retention. Other possibilities using the API can list the services, which can be helpful in some cases, but they do not return the data of who created them Cloudflare API | Zones

Hello,
thanks for your reply

I need to retrieve the list of creators for each Cloudflare (CF) zone. I know there’s an endpoint provided by the API: Cloudflare API - Audit Logs

Context:

  • Log retention period is 18 months. (CF API limit)
  • My goal is to answer the question: “Who created the zone?”

Problem encountered: I tried using the following filter in my search:

json

Copy

action: {
type: "zone.create"
}

or

action.type: "create_zone"

However, this returns an empty list.

My questions:

  1. What filter should I use to retrieve information about zone creators?
  2. Which fields are relevant to identify creators in the logs?

I’m very interested in your opinion!

You can find some relevant filters here to make a more granular search: Cloudflare API | Audit Logs
About the empty list returned, could you please confirm if you have the correct API token permissions? Besides this, remember that the Audit Logs are retained for 18 months before being deleted by Cloudflare. Also, if your zone has been transferred to your account, this could be interfering in the results as well
