I use a Python script which allows me to auto-update the public IP of my Raspberry Pi on configured/selected Cloudflare DNS entries. This is done with the Cloudflare API.
It looks like the proxied parameter in the API is now defaulting to false, which is disabling the Cloudflare protection.
I have created a Cloudflare Support ticket and got the following answer:
Setting
proxied = truein the api call will set the Cloudflare protection on when the record is updated.
Unfortunately, I can't program in Python (yet) so I am not able to fix this.
Original:
data=json.dumps({'type': record['type'], 'name': record['name'], 'content': ip_address}),
My attempt:
data=json.dumps({'type': record['type'], 'name': record['name'], 'content': ip_address, 'proxied':'true'}),
I get these error messages with my attempt at setting proxied to true:
Updating the A record (ID 28b768cfd9760226648f3f22880bff7d) of (sub)domain www.******.com (ID 5129ccb06da9ae49f0a326ef945ff3e4) to **.**.***.**.

CloudFlare returned the following errors: [{u'error_chain': [{u'message': u"Invalid 'proxied' value, must be a boolean", u'code': 9003}], u'message': u'DNS Validation Error', u'code': 1004}].
CloudFlare returned the following messages: []

What would be the correct way of doing this?
Change 'proxied':'true' to 'proxied': True to make it a bool instead of a string.
