On August 30, 2019, Cloudflare announced the general availability of API Tokens, a more secure way to interact with its API. The tokens are designed to follow the principle of least privilege, ensuring that customers can keep their Cloudflare services as secure as possible while automating management. API Tokens provide three main capabilities: scoping by Cloudflare resource, scoping by permission, and the ability to provision multiple tokens. These features allow for better implementation of least privilege access control when using Cloudflare's API.
