But, you can pretty much skip installing the plugin. It uses the cPanel V1 API which is shortly going to be removed (in V88 from memory). We contact CloudFlare support and they say that they do not plan to update/maintain it any longer. Same thing with mod_cloudflare (which helped with Apache logs). They now suggest using mod_remoteip, but that is more complicated to implement in cPanel ( Easiest way to install mod_cloudflare on latest CPanel since it's not available in EA? )

So should I need Host API key

I've said it a few times here but as stated in CloudFlare's documentation they don't support the plugin anymore and it's using an older API version which will soon be removed as @ffeingol noted.

@piyushmaheswari I removed the referenced post because either way the answer is the same, the plugin will not be useful if they don't update it. For further information on that you must speak to CloudFlare.
