Connect Cloudflare Radar to clariBI with an API token to sync HTTP internet-traffic trends for the locations you choose, read-only, with auto-generated dashboards next to your business data.
What is Cloudflare Radar?
Cloudflare Radar publishes aggregated, anonymized insights into how the internet is used, including HTTP request trends by location and network.
clariBI reads Cloudflare Radar through its REST API using your own API token: the HTTP request-volume trend for the locations you choose. The value is a normalized index of relative traffic, useful for spotting regional shifts and outages. Access is read-only.
How to connect Cloudflare Radar
- Open Data Sources in clariBI. In clariBI, go to Data Sources → Add Data Source, find Cloudflare Radar, and paste a Cloudflare API token with Radar read access. The token is Fernet-encrypted at rest.
- Choose locations and window. Type the locations to track (a country code like US or DE, or world) and pick the date range. clariBI reads the trend read-only.
- Sync, then get dashboards. clariBI syncs the traffic trend, preprocesses it, and builds an insights dashboard. Ask "Did regional internet traffic dip when our sales did?" and the AI engine queries it alongside your own data.
What you can analyze
- HTTP request-volume trend per location over your window
- Relative traffic shifts across the locations you track
- Regional dips that may signal outages or holidays
- Week-over-week change in the traffic index
- Internet conditions lined up with your own traffic dates
- Cross-source: regional internet traffic → your sessions → sales
What gets synced
clariBI pulls the HTTP request-volume trend for the locations you select through the Cloudflare Radar REST API, lands it as a preprocessed dataset, and refreshes it on your schedule. Access is read-only.
For each location, clariBI syncs the normalized HTTP traffic index over time, then builds an insights dashboard you can query, extend, or pull into reports.
clariBI only ever reads. It never changes anything in Cloudflare.
Questions across your other data
Once your records are synced, the AI engine can join them to the rest of your business data. A few examples:
| Pairing | Question | How clariBI answers |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Radar × Your traffic | "Was the drop in our sessions a site issue or a wider internet dip?" | Planner: read the regional HTTP traffic index from Radar, align to your own sessions by date, and separate a site problem from a broader regional shift. |
| Cloudflare Radar × Sales | "Did a regional outage window line up with our revenue dip?" | Planner: read the location traffic trend from Radar, join to daily revenue, and flag the windows that moved together. |
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to connect Cloudflare Radar?
A Cloudflare API token with Radar read access. You paste it into clariBI once; it is Fernet-encrypted at rest.
What does the traffic value mean?
It is a normalized index of relative HTTP request volume for the location, not an absolute request count. It is best read as a trend and compared against your own metrics over the same window.
