cflare zones

Zones & Domain Management

Domains

List, inspect, verify, and manage Cloudflare zones (domains) and nameserver assignments.

$ cflare zones <list|get|status> [domain] [options]

📖 Full Explanation

A Zone represents an active domain managed by Cloudflare. \1 allows you to list all zones on your account, verify nameserver delegation, inspect plan types (Free, Pro, Business, Enterprise), and check whether traffic is active.

⚙️ Command Options & Flags

Option / Flag Description Default
-s, --status <status> Filter zones by status (active, pending, paused) all
--json Return zones in raw JSON format false

🔬 Technical Corollary & Edge Mechanics

Resolves domain names to Zone IDs automatically, caching them locally in \1 for 24 hours so you can specify human-readable domains (e.g. \1) instead of memorizing 32-character hexadecimal Zone IDs.

🎯 Real-World DevOps Use Cases
