It depends on Flask, requests, and tqdm, and runs your app on port 5000 by default while starting a metrics page on a random port between 8100 and 9000. You can retrieve the tunnel URL programmatically and customize the port, metrics port, and tunnel domain through function arguments.\n\nThe package is designed for rapid prototyping, testing, and sharing\u2014scenarios where you need a temporary public endpoint without infrastructure setup. It abstracts away the Cloudflare tunnel CLI, letting you manage tunneling directly from Python code. For persistent or custom domains, you can pass a tunnel ID or config path to use your own Cloudflare tunnel configuration.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need rapid, zero-configuration tunneling for Flask development and testing. The low install friction, permissive license, and straightforward decorator API make it a practical choice for prototyping and temporary sharing. The aging maintenance status and small community (43 stars) mean it is not a long-term production solution, but it is reliable for its intended use case of quick local-to-public exposure."},"id":"flask-cloudflared","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-cloudflared","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/flask-cloudflared.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/flask-cloudflared/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"flask-cloudflared","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Start a TryCloudflare Tunnel from your flask app."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":98133,"position":13103,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.15"}
