Hi Cobo La,

thank you for the script. A lot of people looking for that solution.
But how do you run it?

If i run it in VS Code using Node.js it throws an error:
"AxiosError {message: 'Request failed with status code 400', name: 'AxiosError', code: 'ERR_BAD_REQUEST', config: {…}, request: ClientRequest, …}"

And here:
'X-Auth-Email': 'test@gmail.com',
'X-Auth-Key': 'test123',
do i need to enter my CloudFlare account login data or API token?

yes, you need paste the email and key there.

Thank you.

Thanks man it works as intended although if one has a lot of records to delete he'd have to run it multiple times to make that many DELETE requests because of their throttling

Totoally new to scripting, How would I run it, Im using mac
