Operation Details

Cloudflare.EnsureAuthenticated

Verify Cloudflare credentials. Prompts interactively if environment variables are not set. See authentication for setup.

Cloudflare.EnsureAuthenticated();

Cloudflare.PagesDeploy

Deploy a directory to Cloudflare Pages. The directory should be the build output folder.

var frontend = Directory("./frontend");
Cloudflare.PagesDeploy(frontend / "dist", "my-site");
Cloudflare.PagesDeploy(frontend / "build", o => o
  .WithProjectName("my-site")
  .WithBranch("main"));

Cloudflare.PagesListProjects

List all Cloudflare Pages projects.

Cloudflare.PagesListProjects();

Cloudflare.PagesCreateProject

Create a new Cloudflare Pages project.

Cloudflare.PagesCreateProject("my-site");
Cloudflare.PagesCreateProject("my-site", "develop");

Cloudflare.PagesListDeployments

List deployments for a Cloudflare Pages project.

Cloudflare.PagesListDeployments("my-site");
Cloudflare.PagesListDeployments(); // Uses CLOUDFLARE_PROJECT_NAME env var

Cloudflare.PurgeCache

Purge the entire Cloudflare cache for a zone. Accepts either a Zone ID or domain name (domain is resolved automatically). Useful after deployments to ensure visitors see the latest content.

Cloudflare.PurgeCache("example.com"); // Resolves domain to Zone ID
Cloudflare.PurgeCache("zone-id-123"); // Direct Zone ID
Cloudflare.PurgeCache(); // Uses CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_ID env var

Authentication

Cloudflare operations require an API token and account ID. Set these as environment variables or enter them when prompted.

Environment Variables

Variable Description
CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN API token with Cloudflare Pages permissions
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID Your Cloudflare account ID (found in dashboard URL)
CLOUDFLARE_PROJECT_NAME Optional default project name for Pages operations

Interactive Prompting

When running locally without environment variables set, Cloudflare.EnsureAuthenticated() will prompt for credentials interactively. The API token input is hidden for security. Credentials are only stored for the current build session and are cleared when the process exits.

Creating a Cloudflare API Token

  1. Go to Cloudflare Dashboard → Profile → API Tokens
  2. Click Create Token
  3. Click Create Custom Token
  4. Add the required permissions (see table below)
  5. Under Account Resources, select your account
  6. Under Zone Resources, select All zones or specific zones
  7. Click Continue to summary, then Create Token
  8. Copy the token and set it as CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN

Required Token Permissions

Permission Required For
Account → Cloudflare Pages → Edit Deploying to Cloudflare Pages
Zone → Cache Purge → Purge Purging cache with PurgeCache()
Zone → Zone → Read Resolving domain names to Zone IDs (for PurgeCache("example.com"))

Finding Your Account ID

Your account ID is in the Cloudflare dashboard URL: https://dash.cloudflare.com/ACCOUNT_ID/...
Or find it on any zone's overview page in the right sidebar under API → Account ID.

Example

Deploy a static site to Cloudflare Pages and purge the cache.

build.csando
// Create a directory reference
var website = Directory("./website");

// Ensure we're authenticated with Cloudflare
Cloudflare.EnsureAuthenticated();

// Build the site
Npm.Ci(website);
Npm.Run(website, "build");

// Deploy to Cloudflare Pages (deploy the dist folder)
Cloudflare.PagesDeploy(website / "dist", "my-website");

// Purge the cache (accepts domain name or Zone ID)
Cloudflare.PurgeCache("my-website.com");
