Failed to apply for a certificate

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: no

I ran this command: Nginx proxy manager fails to apply for a certificate using Cloudflare API_token。
It produced this output:

log:Error: Command failed: certbot certonly --config "/etc/letsencrypt.ini" --cert-name "npm-100" --agree-tos --email "vip@ypcloud.space" --domains "*.yydy.link,yydy.link" --authenticator dns-cloudflare --dns-cloudflare-credentials "/etc/letsencrypt/credentials/credentials-100"
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Error determining zone_id: 6003 Invalid request headers. Please confirm that you have supplied valid Cloudflare API credentials. (Did you copy your entire API token/key? To use Cloudflare tokens, you'll need the python package cloudflare>=2.3.1. This certbot is running cloudflare 2.11.6)
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.

Have you checked your credentials like the message says?

Yes, I have provided the Global API Key according to the error message, but it still doesn't work.

You're using Nginx Proxy Manager. It's documentation is lousy. I did not see anything on how to set the Cloudflare credentials or any documentation about the Let's Encrypt integration to begin with.

Your best chances, I think, to manage this is to request the Nginx Proxy Manager support channel/community for help with this.
