API Credentials for Cloudflare Vectorize

To access the Cloudflare Vectorize service you need two pieces of information: 1) the “Account ID,” which identifies your Cloudflare account, and 2) the “Token,” which authorizes your API requests. Below you’ll find step‑by‑step instructions for obtaining each one.

Token

1. 1

   Go to https://cloudflare.com and sign in with your email and password.

2. 2

   Click the gray Cloudflare icon in the upper‑left corner to open the side menu.

3. 3

   In that menu, choose “Manage account.”

4. 4

   Inside the account section, click “Account API tokens.”

5. 5

   Click the “Create token” button.

6. 6

   Scroll down to “Custom token” and click the “Get started” button on the right.

7. 7

   In “Token name,” enter something memorable, for example “botize.”

8. 8

   Under “Permissions,” select: “Account” → “Vectorize” → “Edit.”

9. 9

   Click “Continue to summary.”

10. 10

    Review the details and click “Create token.”

11. 11

    Your Token will now be displayed. Copy it and store it in a safe place (it’s shown only once).

Account ID

1. 1

   While logged in, look at your browser’s address bar. The URL will look like this: https://dash.cloudflare.com//api-tokens.

2. 2

   The text between “https://dash.cloudflare.com/” and “/api-tokens” is your Account ID. For example, in https://dash.cloudflare.com/2f06c21f93769e00a9ee444/api-tokens, the Account ID is 2f06c21f93769e00a9ee444.

3. 3

   Copy your Account ID and keep it together with the Token so you can use both in Cloudflare Vectorize API calls.
