[-r, --raw]

[-i, --image]

Output results as binary (i.e. it's an image). This isn't normally needed as the API returns a Content-Type to indicate an image is being returned. This option can be used to allow the API output to be output without any processing (i.e. JSON formatted).

[-b, --binary]

Open files in binary mode.

[-A openapi-url, --openapi openapi-url]

--delete

item=@filename

/command ...

The API command(s) to execute.

COMMAND(S)

The command string uses slash (/) to seperate the verbs in the same way that the Cloudflare v4 API documentation does. Any verb starting with colon (:) is either converted to zone_id, user_id, organtization_id, or otherwise. Any verb starting with coloe (:) and followed by 32 hex chracters is passed thru raw. Any verb starting with two colons (::) is passed thru raw.

RESULTS

The output is either JSON or YAML formatted.
