cfcommander

cfcommander is a simple CLI tool for managing DNS records in Cloudflare. After installing via pip, you can use it with the cf command.

Installation

pip install cfcommander

Configuration

Before using the tool, configure your Cloudflare API credentials:

cf config your_email@example.com your_api_key

This saves your credentials to ~/.cfcli_config.json.

Usage

Add a DNS record

cf add example.com A home 192.0.2.1 yes 120

• example.com – The zone name (your domain).
• A – Record type (A, CNAME, etc.).
• home – Subdomain (creates home.example.com).
• 192.0.2.1 – The record value (e.g., an IP address).
• yes – Whether the record is proxied through Cloudflare (yes/no).
• 120 – TTL (Time-To-Live in seconds).
