Getting Started ​

Cloudflare Manager uses a Cloudflare API Token to manage domains, DNS records, SSL/TLS settings, cache policies, and site activity data on mobile.

1. Create an API Token ​

Create a dedicated Cloudflare API Token for mobile management, and grant only the minimum permissions required for the domains you want to manage.

Go to https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens to create your token.
