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

- 2024: GitHub releases list 2.19.4 as the published release.
