Research direction

First check whether users are seeing stale images after replacements, especially Creator images or brand emblems; the issue presents cache purging as conditional on this becoming a problem. Read the Cloudflare cache purge API documentation linked in the issue and trace the image replacement and image-cache paths. Done would mean agreeing on when purging is needed and implementing and verifying it for those cases; the issue does not name files or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When replacing images, the cache at Cloudflare keeps these for a bit longer, be it the full file, be it the processed versions via imagekit in the image-cache.

We could purge the Cloudflare cache for these occasions, if it becomes an issue noticed by users, e.g. when updating Creator images, or brand emblems.

import os
from cloudflare import Cloudflare

client = Cloudflare(
    api_email=os.environ.get("CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
    api_key=os.environ.get("CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY"),  # This is the default and can be omitted
)
response = client.cache.purge(
    zone_id="zone_id",
)
print(response.id)
