In your profile, scroll down to find the "API Tokens" section. Click "View" next to "Global API Key". You'll need to enter your password to reveal it. Click "Copy" to save it to your clipboard.
⚠️ Important: Keep your API key secret - treat it like a password!
Go back to your Cloudflare dashboard homepage. Select any website (or add one if needed). On the right sidebar under "API", you'll see your "Account ID". Click the copy icon next to it to copy it to your clipboard.
✅ Done! You now have both your API key and Account ID
