Best When

Your DNS is managed through Cloudflare and you need to automate record management, DDNS, or DNS-based workflows.

Avoid When

Your domain is on a different DNS provider, or you need domain registration features.

Use Cases

• Dynamic DNS (DDNS) updates for home servers or dynamic IPs
• Automated DNS record management in CI/CD deployments
• Managing DNS as code across multiple domains and zones
• Programmatic certificate and TLS configuration
• Automating Let's Encrypt DNS challenge records for wildcard certs

Not For

• Domain registration (use Cloudflare Registrar or Namecheap/GoDaddy)
• DNS resolution queries (use the DNS resolver, not management API)
• Domains not managed through Cloudflare
