This action is fairly easy to setup. This only requires two information. One is ZONE_ID which you can find on the dashboard of your domain in Cloudflare.
And you need to get API_KEY that does have DNS management permissions. In order to get API key, Click Here. Then click on create token and use the "Edit zone DNS" template.
Required Full name of your repository. You can dynamically set it by using ${{ github.repository }} or you can manually write it in this format username/repository_name, e.g. raiyansarker/cloudflare-dns-export
Required Temporary Github token. Type ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}. Github would automatically add one for you.
Required ZONE_ID of your Cloudflare domain.
Required Cloudflare API_KEY with at least DNS management permissions
Not-Required The folder that you want to store DNS backup data. By Default - DNS
Not-Required Prefix of the file name you want to save as, e.g. example.com. It would save files as example.com - 13/09/2021 - 20-21-06.txt (PREFIX - DATE - TIME.txt). By Default - example.com
This won't be exactly same for your domain. A lot of information is hidden for security
