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

##### Accepted Permissions (at least one required) `User Details Write``User Details Read` ##### ParametersExpand Collapse asn: Optional\[Sequence\[str]] Filters results by Autonomous System. Specify one or more Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) as a comma-separated list. Prefix with `-` to exclude ASNs from results. For example, `-174, 3356` excludes results from AS174, but includes results from AS3356.

Specify a comma-separated list of alpha-2 codes. Prefix with `-` to exclude continents from results. For example, `-EU,NA` excludes results from EU, but includes results from NA. [Link to this property](<#(resource)%20radar.netflows%20%3E%20(method)%20summary%20%3E%20(params)%20default%20%3E%20(param)%20continent%20%3E%20(schema)>) date\_end: Optional\[Sequence\[Union\[str, datetime]]] End of the date range (inclusive). Alternative to `dateRange`; provide together with `dateStart`. When requesting comparison series, every series must resolve to the same duration as the main series. Each `dateStart`/`dateEnd` is floored to the nearest 15 minutes before evaluation, so windows whose durations match only before alignment may be rejected. [Link to this property](<#(resource)%20radar.netflows%20%3E%20(method)%20summary%20%3E%20(params)%20default%20%3E%20(param)%20dateEnd%20%3E%20(schema)>) date\_range: Optional\[Sequence\[str]] Filters results by relative date range ending at the current time, with each value producing a separate series. Use `d` for days (up to `364d`) or `w` for weeks (up to `52w`). Append `control` to request the equivalent previous period for comparison: the comparison window is shifted back by the current window’s length rounded up to a whole number of weeks, so it keeps the same weekday alignment and does not overlap the current window (e.g. `7dcontrol` covers days -14 to -7, `10dcontrol` covers days -24 to -14). For example, pass `7d` and `7dcontrol` to compare this week with the previous week. All series must resolve to the same duration as the main series; relative ranges (including `control`) satisfy this automatically. Use this parameter or set specific start and end dates (`dateStart` and `dateEnd` parameters).

Alternative to `dateRange`; provide together with `dateEnd`. When requesting comparison series, every series must resolve to the same duration as the main series. Each `dateStart`/`dateEnd` is floored to the nearest 15 minutes before evaluation, so windows whose durations match only before alignment may be rejected.

Specify a comma-separated list of GeoNames IDs. Prefix with `-` to exclude geoIds from results. For example, `-2267056,360689` excludes results from the 2267056 (Lisbon), but includes results from 5128638 (New York).
