history

Project history and usage

cloudflare-cli4 is Cloudflare's standalone packaging of the legacy cli4 Python command for calling Cloudflare API v4 endpoints from a shell.

Project history

The official README says this repository is a snapshot of the cli4 Python tool that was originally packaged with the cloudflare Python package, and that starting with cloudflare v3 the CLI was split out and no longer actively developed.

Adoption history

Its package history is tied to Python packaging and Cloudflare API users: the README shows pip-style installation from the repository, while the input record identifies the Homebrew formula cloudflare-cli4.

How it is used

The cli4 command maps shell arguments to Cloudflare API paths, supports JSON/YAML/NDJSON output, HTTP methods, profiles, headers, and configuration-backed API keys or tokens.

Why package nerds care

For package maintainers, cloudflare-cli4 is notable as a compatibility package: it preserves the older CLI workflow after the main Python Cloudflare package changed direction.

Timeline

2016-2024: The README copyright span identifies Cloudflare-maintained history for the code.
2024: GitHub releases list 2.19.4 as the published release.
2024: The standalone repository's README says cli4 was split from the cloudflare Python package when that package reached v3 and was no longer actively developed.
