Zone ID Location in Cloudflare Dashboard | Generated by AI
Question: Why can’t I find the Zone ID in Cloudflare under Analytics & Logs > Web Analytics?
Answer:
The Zone ID is not located in the Analytics & Logs section (including Web Analytics). That area shows traffic statistics, performance metrics, security events, and logs — but it does not display account or zone identifiers like the Zone ID.
The Zone ID is a unique identifier for your specific domain (zone) and is found in a different part of the dashboard.
Correct steps to find your Zone ID (as of 2026, per official Cloudflare docs)
- Log in to your Cloudflare dashboard at https://dash.cloudflare.com.
- If you have multiple accounts, make sure you’ve selected the correct one (you’ll see your accounts listed; click into the relevant account).
- Select the specific domain (zone) you want the Zone ID for from the list of your websites/domains.
→ This takes you to the Overview page for that domain. - On the Overview page, scroll down (usually to the bottom of the right-hand sidebar or the main content area).
- Look for the API section (it’s typically near the bottom).
- In the API section, you’ll see:
- Zone ID: A 32-character hexadecimal string (e.g.,
023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353). - Account ID: Also listed nearby.
- Zone ID: A 32-character hexadecimal string (e.g.,
- Click Click to copy next to the Zone ID to copy it to your clipboard.
Important notes:
- You must be viewing the Overview page of a specific domain (not the account-level home, not Analytics, not Workers & Pages alone).
- If you’re on a Workers & Pages overview (without selecting a domain), you might only see the Account ID — that’s why some users miss the Zone ID.
- Zone ID only exists for domains you’ve added to Cloudflare. If no domains are added, there won’t be a Zone ID.
- The location has been consistent for years (right sidebar/API section on domain Overview), with no major changes reported in recent docs (last updated Sep 2025).
If you’re still not seeing it:
- Double-check you’re on the domain’s Overview tab (not Analytics & Logs).
- Try refreshing the page or switching domains.
- Use the API method as a fallback (requires an API token):
curl -X GET "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json"Look for the
idfield in each zone object.
