# cloudflare-delete-all-dns-records
Delete all the DNS records in a domain in Cloudflare.
Delete all the DNS records in a domain in Cloudflare.
This program will delete all the DNS records in a given domain. Before deletion, it'll also take a backup of the existing DNS records and save it as a .txt file in [BIND](https://www.isc.org/bind/) format.
## Prerequisites
- [Python 3](https://www.python.org/)
- Pip
>sudo apt install python3-pip
- [Python requests library](https://pypi.org/project/requests/)
>pip install requests
- CloudFlare API key
You need a CloudFlare API key with access to *edit zone DNS* access for the domain:
1. Go to your Cloudflare profile and then [API Tokens](https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens)
2. Click on *Create Token*
3. You can use the template *Edit Zone DNS*
4. Enter the of the domain(s) you want to delete DNS from in *Zone Resources*
5. Click *Continue to summary* and the *Create Token*
6. You should get an API Token now.
## Running the program
1. Download and extract the zip file or Clone this repository:
>git clone https://git.pavakpaul.com/pavak/cloudflare-delete-all-dns-records.git
2. cd to the directory:
>cd
cloudflare-delete-all-dns-records
3. Run app.py using python3 and follow the instructions
>python3 app.py
### Using a config file to pass the API credentials
If you want to delete all the DNS records from multiple domains, it is a good idea to use a single token for mutiple domains. In that case, you can use save your credentials in config.json. Simply rename config_sample.json to config.json: `mv config_sample.json config.json` and save your configuration there. To load the config file, simply pass the argument _loadconfig_:
>python3 app.py loadconfig
You still can't delete DNS from multiple domains to reduce accidental removals of DNS. To be safe, it's always a good idea to just create a token for a single domain.
