NAME
Net::Cloudflare::DNS - DNS API for Cloudflare API v4
VERSION
Version 0.01
SYNOPSIS
Cloudflare API v4 has big improvement to the older ones. This API operates against the specific zone based on API v4.
I use this module to dyna update my DNS zone everyday. Cloudflare's DNS and its API behave very well in my life.
If you have met any issue with the module, please don't hesitate to drop me an email: iwesley [at] pobox.com
To use the module, you must have these two perl modules installed in the system:
sudo apt install libio-socket-ssl-perl
sudo cpanm LWP::Protocol::https
My system is Ubuntu, which can use apt to install IO::Socket::SSL. I can't install this module with cpanm tool.
use Net::Cloudflare::DNS;
# new the object
my $dns = Net::Cloudflare::DNS->new(email=>$email, api_key=>$api_key, zone_id=>$zone_id);
# create the record
my $res = $dns->create_record(type=>"A", name=>"test.myhostnames.com",content=>"1.1.1.1",ttl=>1);
# update the record
$res = $dns->update_record($record_id, type=>"TXT", name=>"test.myhostnames.com",content=>"bala bala",ttl=>1);
# delete the record
$res = $dns->delete_record($record_id);
# list records by conditions
$res = $dns->get_records(name=>"test.myhostnames.com");
# for success response, the content is stored in $res. otherwise the method just dies.
print $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. One is your registration email on Cloudflare. Another 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.
create_record
my $res = $dns->create_record(type=>"A", name=>"test.myhostnames.com",content=>"1.1.1.1",ttl=>1);
You can create record in the zone with this method.
Required parameters:
type: includes "A", "TXT", "MX", "CNAME" ... They are standard DNS record type.
name: the hostname you want to create, must be FQDN.
content: record's value, for "A" record, it's an IP address.
ttl: time to live. You can always set it to 1, which means automatic by Cloudflare. otherwise it's must be larger than 120.

proxied: whether proxied by cloudflare, default false.
