Prerequisites

Before you can add the connection, you must obtain credentials from your Cloudflare account. Cloudflare supports two key types:
  • API Token: A scoped token with specific permissions. Recommended for most use cases.
  • Global API Key: The permanent key tied to your account. Requires your account email address.
To retrieve your credentials:
1
Log in to the Cloudflare dashboard and go to My Profile > API Tokens.
2
To use an API Token, click Create Token, configure the required permissions, and copy the generated token.
3
To use your Global API Key, navigate to the API Keys section and copy the key. You will also need the email address associated with your Cloudflare account.

Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Cloudflare to your Connect AI account:
1
Open the Sources page of the Connect AI navigation menu.
2
Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.
3
Type Cloudflare into the search field, then click the data source name.
4
On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.
5
Set Key Type to API Token or Global API Key, depending on the credentials you are using.
6
Enter your API Key (your API Token value or Global API Key value).
7
If you are using a Global API Key, enter the API Email associated with your Cloudflare account. API Email is not required for token authentication.
8
At the top of the Connect AI Add Connection page, click Save & Test.
  • If the connection test succeeds, a Connection successfully saved message appears, indicating that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated. View the data model of your successful connection in the right pane of the Edit Connection page, in the Data Model tab.
  • If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. Connect AI displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.
  • Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a Status of Not Authenticated. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
