With the `cloudflare` component can you keep your Cloudflare records up to date.

The component will run every hour, but can also be started manually by using the service `cloudflare.update_records` under services.

## {% linkable_title Setup %}

You will find your global API key in your Cloudflare account settings.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

To use the component in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
cloudflare:
  email: YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS
  api_key: YOUR_GLOBAL_API_KEY
  zone: EXAMPLE.COM
  records:
    - bin
    - www
```

{% configuration cloudflare %}
email:
  description: The email address for your Cloudflare account.
  required: true
  type: string
api_key:
  description: The global API key for your Cloudflare account.
  required: true
  type: string
zone:
  description: The DNS zone you want to update.
  required: true
  type: string
records:

{% endconfiguration %}

This platform uses the API from [ipify.org](https://www.ipify.org/) to set the public IP address.
