External-dns: Add support for CloudFlare API Tokens (Authorization: Bearer)

[ilyasotkov]

API Tokens use the standard Authorization: Bearer header for authentication instead of x-auth-email and x-auth-key that API Keys use.

API tokens would allow granting external-dns access to only a specific DNS zone and not the whole CloudFlare account 🔒

Hi @Evesy thanks for adding support for API token. But for now, the API token must be granted for all zone, cannot only to a specific zone.
when you generate token for specific zone, you will get this error:
level=error msg="error from makeRequest: HTTP status 403: insufficient permissions".

I do confirm the assumption of @zackijack, il only works when the token has granted permissions for all zones

Do we have an update on this? I'm also seeing this with Cloudflare API tokens.

level=error msg="error from makeRequest: HTTP status 403: insufficient permissions"

I don't necessarily want to generate wider permissions to see a zone specifically if I can help that.

This appears to have regressed further, in that even with a token with zone.DNS.Edit permissions on all zones, you still get the above error. Seen as it's probably wise to rollback to 0.5.17 because of #1463 anyway, I'm going to wait until both of these are fixed before upgrading to something more recent than that.

I am facing this issue currently with both latest and v0.5.17 docker images. My cloudflare token has zone:read and DNS:edit permissions for a particular zone in my client's account. Any updates on this issue will be really helpful, as we are depending on this setup for a multi-ingress setup.

Also ran into this issue. Is anyone actively working on this?

This should be implemented and fixed as of 0.7.2

To use api token you can write:

cloudflare:
  apiToken: "xxx"

To synchronize just single zone you can use:

zoneIdFilters:
  - asdfas

If someone has other issues or ideas, please open another issue
