No

Then you need to fix this first. Talk to your host and get your site properly configured.

It’s not a site, it’s an api and we’re trying to get it to be https

There is no such thing as API. It still is a server and that server still need to work fine on HTTPS before you use Cloudflare. As I mentioned, talk to your host.

I suggest you pause Cloudflare (Overview screen, bottom right) and talk to your host to get your site fixed.

Once everything works fine on HTTPS, you can unpause Cloudflare.
