Page Shield API

You can enable and disable Page Shield, configure its settings, and fetch information about detected scripts and connections using the Page Shield API.

To authenticate API requests you need an API token. For more information on the required API token permissions, refer to Roles and permissions.

Endpoints

You can obtain the complete endpoint by appending the Page Shield API endpoints to the Cloudflare API base URL:

https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4

The {zone_id} argument is the zone ID (a hexadecimal string). You can find this value in the Cloudflare dashboard or using the Cloudflare API’s /zones endpoint.

The {script_id} argument is the script ID (a hexadecimal string). This value is included in the response of the List Page Shield scripts operation for every detected script.

The {connection_id} argument is the connection ID (a hexadecimal string). This value is included in the response of the List Page Shield connections API operation for every detected connection.

The following table summarizes the available operations:

API notes

The malicious script classification (Malicious or Not malicious) is not directly available in the API. To determine this classification, compare the script’s js_integrity_score value with the classification threshold, which is currently set to 50. Scripts with a score value lower than the threshold are considered malicious.
The API provides two separate properties for malicious script/connection categories: malicious_domain_categories and malicious_url_categories, related to the domain_reported_malicious and url_reported_malicious properties, respectively. The Cloudflare dashboard displays all the categories in a single Malicious category field. For more information, refer to Malicious script and connection categories.

Create a policy

This POST request creates a Page Shield policy with Log action, defining the following scripts as allowed based on where they are hosted:

Scripts hosted in myapp.example.com (which does not include scripts in example.com).
Scripts hosted in cdnjs.cloudflare.com.
The Google Analytics script using its full URL.
All scripts in the same origin (same HTTP or HTTPS scheme and hostname).

All other scripts would trigger a policy violation, but those scripts would not be blocked.

For more information on Content Security Policy (CSP) directives and values, refer to the MDN documentation ↗.

curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/api/v4/zones/{zone_id}/page_shield/policies" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{
  "description": "My first policy in log mode",
  "action": "log",
  "expression": "http.host eq myapp.example.com",
  "enabled": "true",
  "value": "script-src myapp.example.com cdnjs.cloudflare.com https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js '\''self'\''"
}'

{
  "success": true,
  "errors": [],
  "messages": [],
  "result": {
    "id": "<POLICY_ID>",
    "description": "My first policy in log mode",
    "action": "log",
    "expression": "http.host eq myapp.example.com",
    "enabled": "true",
    "value": "script-src myapp.example.com cdnjs.cloudflare.com https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js 'self'"
  }
}

To create a policy with an Allow action instead of Log, use "action": "allow" in the request body. In the case of such policy, all scripts not allowed by the policy would be blocked.
