API Token The preferred authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. Create a token. **Example:**Authorization: Bearer Sn3lZJTBX6kkg7OdcBUAxOO963GEIyGQqnFTOFYY
API Email + API Key The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API, used in conjunction with a Global API key. **Example:**X-Auth-Email: user@example.com The previous authorization scheme for interacting with the Cloudflare API. When possible, use API tokens instead of Global API keys. **Example:**X-Auth-Key: 144c9defac04969c7bfad8efaa8ea194

Note that *this is not a security measure*. MD5 is not a valid security mechanism, and the key is not treated as a secret value. This is *only* supported for preventing misconfiguration, not for defending against malicious attacks. The MD5 key, if set, must be of non-zero length and consist only of the following types of character: - ASCII alphanumerics: [a-zA-Z0-9] - Special characters in the set '!@#$%^&*()+[]{}<>/.,;:_-~= |\` In other words, MD5 keys may contain any printable ASCII character aside from newline (0x0A), quotation mark ("), vertical tab (0x0B), carriage return (0x0D), tab (0x09), form feed (0x0C), and the question mark (?). Requests specifying an MD5 key with one or more of these disallowed characters will be rejected. Link to this property
