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

dimension: "ADM1"or "AS"or "LOCATION"or "PRODUCT" Specifies the NetFlows attribute by which to group the results.

One of the following: "ADM1" Link to this property "AS" Link to this property "LOCATION" Link to this property "PRODUCT" Link to this property

aggInterval: optional "15m"or "1h"or "1d"or "1w" Aggregation interval of the results (e.g., in 15 minutes or 1 hour intervals). Refer to Aggregation intervals. When omitted, the interval is auto-selected from the requested date range; finer intervals are only available for shorter ranges. If the requested interval is too granular for the date range, the request is rejected.

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)%20timeseries_groups%20%3E%20(params)%20default%20%3E%20(param)%20continent%20%3E%20(schema)>) dateEnd: optional array of string 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)%20timeseries_groups%20%3E%20(params)%20default%20%3E%20(param)%20dateEnd%20%3E%20(schema)>) dateRange: optional array of string 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).

When item count exceeds the limit, extra items appear grouped under an “other” category. Only supported on high-cardinality dimensions; otherwise the request is rejected. Minimum value is 2.

Specify a comma-separated list of alpha-2 codes. Prefix with `-` to exclude locations from results. For example, `-US,PT` excludes results from the US, but includes results from PT.
