Cloudflare

Cloudflare (Wrangler CLI)

Manage Cloudflare Workers and associated services via the wrangler CLI.

R2 Configuration

Credentials stored in ~/.openclaw/secrets.json under cloudflare.r2:

{
  "cloudflare": {
    "apiToken": "<main API token>",
    "r2": {
      "accessKeyId": "<R2 access key>",
      "secretAccessKey": "<R2 secret key>",
      "endpoint": "https://<accountId>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com",
      "bucket": "openclaw"
    }
  }
}

Lifecycle Rules (auto-delete)

R2 lifecycle rules auto-delete objects after N days. Minimum granularity is 1 day (no hours/minutes).

import boto3
from botocore.config import Config

client = boto3.client("s3", endpoint_url=r2["endpoint"],
    aws_access_key_id=r2["accessKeyId"],
    aws_secret_access_key=r2["secretAccessKey"],
    region_name="auto", config=Config(signature_version="s3v4"))

client.put_bucket_lifecycle_configuration(
    Bucket="openclaw",
    LifecycleConfiguration={
        "Rules": [{
            "ID": "auto-delete-uploads",
            "Status": "Enabled",
            "Filter": {"Prefix": "uploads/"},
            "Expiration": {"Days": 1},
        }]
    }
)

Active rule on openclaw bucket: uploads/* → deleted after 1 day. Presigned URLs expire in 1 min (no access), objects cleaned up within 24h.

Generate presigned URL (Node.js)

import { S3Client, GetObjectCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-s3";
import { getSignedUrl } from "@aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner";
import { readFileSync } from "fs";

const { cloudflare: { r2 } } = JSON.parse(readFileSync(`${process.env.HOME}/.openclaw/secrets.json`));

const client = new S3Client({
  region: "auto",
  endpoint: r2.endpoint,
  credentials: { accessKeyId: r2.accessKeyId, secretAccessKey: r2.secretAccessKey },
});

const url = await getSignedUrl(
  client,
  new GetObjectCommand({ Bucket: r2.bucket, Key: "my-file.txt" }),
  { expiresIn: 600 } // 10 minutes
);

Configuration Files

Wrangler supports both TOML and JSON/JSONC config formats:

• wrangler.toml — traditional format
• wrangler.json or wrangler.jsonc — newer, with JSON schema support

⚠️ Important: If both exist, JSON takes precedence. Pick one format to avoid confusion where edits to TOML are ignored.

JSONC format (with schema autocomplete)

{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json",
  "name": "my-worker",
  "main": "src/index.ts",
  "compatibility_date": "2024-12-30"
}

TOML format

name = "my-worker"
main = "src/index.ts"
compatibility_date = "2024-12-30"

With bindings:

name = "my-worker"
main = "src/index.ts"
compatibility_date = "2024-12-30"

# KV binding
[[kv_namespaces]]
binding = "MY_KV"
id = "xxx"

# D1 binding
[[d1_databases]]
binding = "DB"
database_name = "my-db"
database_id = "xxx"

# R2 binding
[[r2_buckets]]
binding = "BUCKET"
bucket_name = "my-bucket"

# Environment variables
[vars]
API_URL = "https://api.example.com"

# Secrets (set via `wrangler secret put`)
# Referenced as env.SECRET_NAME in worker code

Static assets (for frameworks like Next.js):

name = "my-site"
main = ".open-next/worker.js"
compatibility_date = "2024-12-30"
compatibility_flags = ["nodejs_compat"]

[assets]
directory = ".open-next/assets"
binding = "ASSETS"

Common Patterns

Deploy with environment

wrangler deploy -e production
wrangler deploy -e staging

Custom domain (via dashboard or API)

Custom domains must be configured in the Cloudflare dashboard under Worker Settings > Domains & Routes, or via the Cloudflare API. Wrangler doesn't directly manage custom domains.

Local development with bindings

# Creates local D1/KV/R2 for dev
wrangler dev --local

Checking deployment status

wrangler deployments list
wrangler deployments view

Pages (Static Sites)

Deploy via Wrangler CLI

# IMPORTANT: wrangler pages deploy requires BOTH env vars
export CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN=$(jq -r '.cloudflare.apiToken' ~/.openclaw/secrets.json)
export CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=b4c7ead049e93e5c5d1c4f4415864c8a

npx wrangler pages deploy dist --project-name=my-project

⚠️ --account-id flag does NOT exist for wrangler pages deploy — you must use the CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID env var. The --project-name flag is enough alongside env vars.

Create Pages project via API

TOKEN=$(jq -r '.cloudflare.apiToken' ~/.openclaw/secrets.json)
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/pages/projects" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"my-project","production_branch":"main"}'

Add custom domain to Pages project

curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/pages/projects/my-project/domains" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"example.com"}'

Set production deployment

curl -s -X PATCH "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/pages/projects/my-project" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"production_deployment": "<deploy-id>"}'

DNS for custom domain

• Root domain must be a CNAME pointing to <project>.pages.dev with proxied: true
• If the zone is already on Cloudflare, Pages auto-validates ownership via HTTP
• Common gotcha: stale NS records from old registrar (e.g. GoDaddy) may appear in zone but don't affect routing — they can be safely deleted
• Check actual nameservers with dig NS example.com +short — should show *.ns.cloudflare.com

Pages API — Direct Upload (without wrangler)

If wrangler auth fails (e.g. zone-scoped token), use multipart form upload directly:

import hashlib, json, mimetypes, requests
from pathlib import Path

TOKEN = "..."
ACCOUNT_ID = "..."
PROJECT = "my-project"
DIST = Path("./dist")

headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}"}
files_list = sorted([f for f in DIST.rglob("*") if f.is_file()])

manifest = {}
file_map = {}
for f in files_list:
    rel = "/" + str(f.relative_to(DIST))
    content = f.read_bytes()
    h = hashlib.sha256(content).hexdigest()
    manifest[rel] = h
    file_map[h] = (f, content)

# Part names = file SHA256 hashes; manifest is a separate JSON part
multipart = [("manifest", (None, json.dumps(manifest), "application/json"))]
for h, (f, content) in file_map.items():
    mime = mimetypes.guess_type(str(f))[0] or "application/octet-stream"
    multipart.append((h, (f.name, content, mime)))

resp = requests.post(
    f"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/{ACCOUNT_ID}/pages/projects/{PROJECT}/deployments",
    headers=headers,
    files=multipart,
)
print(resp.json()["result"]["url"])

What Wrangler Does NOT Do

• DNS management — Use the Cloudflare dashboard or API for DNS records
• Custom domains — Configure via dashboard (Worker Settings > Domains & Routes) or API
• SSL certificates — Managed automatically by Cloudflare when custom domains are added
• Firewall/WAF rules — Use dashboard or API

For DNS/domain management, see the cloudflare skill (uses Cloudflare API directly).
