Global API Key of a Cloudflare user account, which grants full access to the account. Keys in the scannable format start with cfk_, followed by 40 characters and a checksum whose length Cloudflare does not state. Older keys are unprefixed strings of 37 to 45 lowercase hexadecimal digits; they look like hashes and are not covered by the regexp.
