Connect Cloudflare
Argus scans a Cloudflare account read-only with an API token or a key + email. Nothing is installed, and Argus only ever reads.
Before you start
- A read-only API token, or the account's Global API key and email.
- An available account slot: Free connects one account, Pro connects an unlimited number. See Billing & plans.
Provider-side setup
- Create a scoped, read-only API token in Cloudflare, or use the legacy Global API key with the account email. Argus only reads.
- Copy the Account ID from the Cloudflare dashboard.
Required permissions
Give the API token these read-only permissions:
- Account Settings: Read
- Zone: Read
- Zone Settings: Read
- DNS: Read
Connect in Argus
Go to Accounts and click Connect account. Pick Cloudflare, then the recommended API token method. Enter:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Account ID | the Cloudflare account id |
| API token | the read-only token |
Key + email
The Key + email method takes the API key and the account email instead of a token.
Connection test
Finish the wizard. Argus stores the credential server-side and runs an asynchronous connection test before the first scan. The account card reports Connected, Checking…, or Failed. On a failure, re-check the values above and use Test connection on the account card to retry.
