 # cloudflare-delete-all-dns-records
 
 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.
