Photos you upload to Cloudflare Images are not attached to any domain in your Cloudflare account and you do not need a domain on Cloudflare to use the Cloudflare Images product.

​Making Your First API Request

Once you have an Images subscription, to make your first request to the Images API, you must obtain these pieces of information:

• Your Cloudflare Account ID
• Your API Key or Bearer Token

Once you have this information, we are ready to upload our first image to Cloudflare Images using the API:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/:account_tag/images/v1 \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer :token' \
  --form file=@./triceratops.jpeg

A successful response will look similar to this:
