Delete all DNS records for specified zone

cloudflare-delete-all-records.sh

#!/bin/bash

TOKEN="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
ZONE_ID=2222222222222222222222222

# EMAIL=me@gmail.com

# Replace with

#     -H "X-Auth-Key: ${KEY}" \
# for old API keys
 

curl -s -X GET https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/${ZONE_ID}/dns_records?per_page=500 \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" | jq .result[].id |  tr -d '"' | (
  while read id; do
    curl -s -X DELETE https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/${ZONE_ID}/dns_records/${id} \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json"
  done
  )

Initial code has jq so I've used as well. But agree that extra tool could be missed at user's shell.

do you have script to delete specific domain ?

@pr4ns sure, I wrote this for you based on the Cloudflare REST API docs here

#!/bin/bash


# permission needed: #zone:edit
TOKEN="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
ZONE_ID=2222222222222222222222222


# EMAIL=me@gmail.com
# KEY=11111111111111111111111111
# Replace with 
#     -H "X-Auth-Email: ${EMAIL}" \
#     -H "X-Auth-Key: ${KEY}" \
# for old API keys

curl -X DELETE "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/${ZONE_ID}" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Tested and working 👍

Thank you! Ridiculous that you can't add a new zone without copying all the old DNS records from the previous domain owner.
