Cloudflare does not provide a direct way to view the date when a DNS record, such as a TXT record, was added or modified. However, you can try these approaches to find related information:

### 1. **Audit Logs**
– If you have access to Cloudflare's **Audit Logs** (available for Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans), you can check the logs for changes to DNS records.
– Steps:
1. Log in to your Cloudflare dashboard.
2. Navigate to your account's **Audit Logs** section.
3. Search for entries related to the specific domain and record type (e.g., TXT record).

### 2. **Cloudflare API**
– If you use the Cloudflare API to manage DNS records, you can check the response data. However, the API does not include timestamps for when records were created or modified.
– Use the [List DNS Records API](https://api.cloudflare.com/#dns-records-for-a-zone-list-dns-records) to view all DNS records.

### 3. **Third-Party Monitoring**
– If you had monitoring tools or scripts in place to log DNS changes, you might find the history there.
– Examples: DNS monitoring services, server logs, or CI/CD pipelines managing Cloudflare configurations.

### 4. **Contact Support**
– As a last resort, you can contact Cloudflare Support and request details about the record's addition or modification date. They may have access to internal logs.

Unfortunately, if none of these methods are applicable and you didn’t maintain an external log, determining the exact date of a record's addition may not be possible.
