Cloudflare

API request not authenticated

If you get this error during SB Install:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "API request not authenticated; Status: 403; Method: GET: Call: /zones?name=; Error details: code: 9103, error: Unknown X-Auth-Key or X-Auth-Email; "}

Make sure:

  • The email in settings.yml matches the one you have listed for your Cloudflare.com account.

  • The cloudflare_api_key in settings.yml matches your domain's Cloudflare Global API Key.

TLD domain not supported

If you get this error during SB Install:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "API request not authenticated; Status: 403; Method: POST: Call: /zones/BINGBANGBOING/dns_records"}

It's probably due to using a top-level domain that isn't supported by the Cloudflare API. Refer to this page.

As of 2022/11/03: "DNS API cannot be used for domains with .cf, .ga, .gq, .ml, or .tk TLDs."
